Should this fix work also for degraded raid not on boot partition? I have a machine with non-raid root partition (indeed it's hw raid) and some extra software raid space which is in fstab to be mounted on pass 2. I'm doing some tests with this setup in a VM.
I tried with stock 8.04.1 and if I remove a disk it halts during the boot with "file system check failed", because the /dev/md0 is in incative state, so even if it's not a problem with root on raid the boot is blocked as well. To let the system boot I had to manually mdadm --run /dev/md0, and later boots are ok even if degraded. I tried with the proposed packages above, but the behavior remained the same even after a dpkg-reconfigure mdadm to change boot_degraded to let it boot anyway. Also I didn't get any prompt regarding this question. -- SRU: Backport of Boot Degraded RAID functionality from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
