Same problem here: The mdadm tries to assemble /dev/md0 before /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 appears.
Workaround: 1) Boot kernel with break=mount (This causes the initramfs to pause somewhere before mdadm but after udev) 2) Wait a few seconds while udev detects /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 3) Press Ctrl-D to continue startup, mdadm can now assemble /dev/md0 I suppose the "sleep 10" workaround in one of the initramfs files will solve my problem, but i was hoping for something cleaner to show up. -- boot-time race condition initializing md https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103177 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
