Thanks for the bugreport and the debdiff. AFAICS (please note that I'm not a mdadm expert) the patch generates a mdadm config on the target filesystem. This should actually no longer be needed in order to get a booting system.
>From the mdadm "hook" script for initramfs (in natty): CONFIG=/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf ... if [ ! -f $CONFIG ]; then # there is no configuration file, so let's create one if /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf generate $CONFIG; then # all is well cp -p $CONFIG $DESTMDADMCONF info "auto-generated the mdadm.conf configuration file." else # we failed to auto-generate, so let the emergency procedure take over warn "failed to auto-generate the mdadm.conf file." warn "please read /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.upgrading-2.5.3.gz ." fi ... I unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors for now, could you please re-subscribe and update the debdiff to the latest version if it turns out that this needs more than what mdadm is doing now. ** Changed in: mdadm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- RAID not implemented (use alternate CD instead) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44609 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
