It is similar to Bug #67299 and Bug#73312. There is some raid array constructed from not partitions but whole disks. The mdadm package has a component that runs at boot time from initramfs. (/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/md) This script scans only partitions but no whole disks as a member of any raid array to determine what raid-level module needs to be loaded into the kernel. When the computer boots up and the raid array constructed from whole disks it causes a wait up to~3-5 minutes. I have attached a patch to fix this.
(You need to re-run update-initrd after apply the patch) ** Attachment added: "patch for scanning whole disks as a member of a raid array" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5174150/md.patch -- Kernel takes a 6 minutes break and go outside take a cup of coffee https://launchpad.net/bugs/72616 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
