confirmed from Bug #541058 and #136252 ** Description changed:
Binary package hint: mdadm "mdadm --incremental" will save state in a map file under /var/run/mdadm/map. But in initramfs and early boot this directory does not exist. The state is then saved in /var/run/mdadm.map.new (man page incorrectly says /var/run/mdadm.map) and not picked up later on, and hotplug devices showing up later can not be matched correctly. This can be fixed by creating /var/run/mdadm in the initramfs *before* - the udevd is started by init-premount/udev (either during creation of + the udevd is started in init-premount/udev (either during creation of the initramfs image, or dynamicly (boot time consuming) in mdadm's initramfs-tools init-top/mdadm script). - The initramfs' /var/run is later copied to the real /var/run as part of - the implemented boot process and /var/run/mdadm/map is carries on the a - valid --incremental state. + The initramfs' /var/run has to be copied to the real /var/run as part of + the boot process so /var/run/mdadm/map carries on the valid + --incremental state. -- initramfs missing /var/run/mdadm dir (loosing state) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
