What if you have never used mdadm.conf? I've always used standard FD autodetect partitions and never, ever have I written a mdadm.conf... and I've been booting to RAID root partitions for years.
Similar problems with Gutsy (2.6.22-15). Checking /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf (in initrd) shows a vanilla, empty config file (ie. no arrays defined). I ungzipped and cpio-ed an initrd off a working system and it shows the raid arrays in there. So, update-initramfs isn't generating a mdadm.conf file worth using? Sounds like the bug should remain open... unless this bug was addressed in another bug and is fixed now... -- RAID initialisation fails on boot with 2.6.24-16 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228782 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
