** Description changed: + [SRU justification] + System does not boot in degraded mode on second disk. This is systematic when system is localized in french (fr_FR.UTF-8) + + [Impact] + Unable to boot system in degraded mode + + [Fix] + Backport uptream fix : + http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626853 + + [Test Case] + - Install system with system disk as RAID1 with french localization. + - Remove first disk (/dev/sda) from the system + - Boot the system. + + Without the patch, grub will loop forever and the system will not boot. + With the patch, the system boots normally. + + [Regression] + None expected. This fix is already in present in Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu Trusty and Utopic. + + [Description of the problem] + When a RAID1 system is degraded (e.g. unplug /dev/sdb, leaving obnly /dev/sda), grub-pc properly enters prompt but system is reset as soon as one attemps to boot OR one enters the command-line and issue the 'ls' command. This bug is known (and presumably fixed) to Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626853 Shortly put: adding the 'GRUB_TERMINAL=console' to '/etc/default/grub' (and executing 'update-grub' afterwards) allows to circumvent the issue (verified on Ubuntu/Quantal 12.10). I believe this bug is critical because it shows up only when a disk fails but remains latent on a healthy system. Cheers
