Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
I decided to use RAID for my 2 drives in the system and after some researching
I figured the easiest way to do this is to reinstall Ubuntu with the latest
herd 3 alternative.
I decided to try with the following configuration on my 2 drives:
/boot - RAID 1
/ - RAID 0
/backup - RAID 1
Everything went smooth (except for long hardware detection which is
already a known bug) and the installation finished successfully. But
after reboot, grub wasn't updated correctly. I fixed this issue with
Ubuntu live CD but it is annoying (might be worth a bug report on its
own).
The next much bigger annoyance that took me hours to figure out is that mdadm
tried to assemble the arrays BEFORE the drives were detected by the kernel.
When booting, mdadm just reported that: "no devices found.. " (or something
like that). To fix this issue I had to put "sleep 10" in
"/usr/share/initramfs-tools/init" file before line: log_begin_msg "Mounting
root file system..."
After that I updated the initramfs.
This fixed the issue but the fix is not the right solution..
Thanks and have a nice day.
P.S. It would be nice that "mdadm" would already be included into Ubuntu
Live/Installation CD. Now I had to enable universe repositories, update
and downloading "mdadm" with apt/synaptic everytime I booted the live CD
to try to fix my issue (if the live CD wouldn't correctly detect my
network I would took me even longer to figure out and fix the problem).
