Tracked this down: there is a race between the /scripts/local-top/mdadm running and the SATA drives being brought online. Adding a delay seems to work, and I now look forward to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/udev-mdadm working with initramfs. :)
** Summary changed: - scripts/local-top/mdadm not being called? + race condition between sata and md -- race condition between sata and md https://launchpad.net/bugs/75681 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
