What is the status of this bug supposed to be in Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.2.0-32-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:33:09 UTC 2012 x86_64?
I updated to this version (coming from 11.10) last weekend, and now my "nested" raid always starts in degraded mode. What I can reproduce every time: Power up system, it shows a message saying the device md5 is starting in degraded mode. I can log into Gnome (so I'm not stopped by any busybox). I have three soft RAID devices reported by /proc/mdstat md3 : active raid1 sdd1[0] sdc1[1] 521984 blocks [2/2] [UU] md5 : active raid5 sdc3[2] sdd3[1] 3859889152 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [_UU] md4 : active raid0 sdb1[0] sda1[1] 1931640448 blocks super 1.0 64k chunks As you can see, md5 claims to missing a device. This is not true; the device it's missing is md4. I can add this device: mdadm --add /dev/md5 /dev/md4 mdadm: added /dev/md4 Which results in this in /proc/mdstat: Personalities : [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid1] [linear] [multipath] [raid10] md3 : active raid1 sdd1[0] sdc1[1] 521984 blocks [2/2] [UU] md5 : active raid5 md4[3] sdc3[2] sdd3[1] 3859889152 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [_UU] [>....................] recovery = 0.0% (1840384/1929944576) finish=568.6min speed=56515K/sec md4 : active raid0 sdb1[0] sda1[1] 1931640448 blocks super 1.0 64k chunks unused devices: <none> after about 10 hours of syncing, the system is running fine. But when I reboot; md5 seems to be started without md4. The mdadm.conf file hasn't changed since my 11.10 installation, it is in my initrd.img.
