I  started getting  an error on the ubuntusplash screen  when my PATA md array 
wouldnt mount.
(S)kip mounting or M for manual recovery
funnily enough goingin into manual mode and  looking at dmesg didnt throw up 
any errors

/proc/mdstat showed the array as inactive partial and also named it
/dev/md_p1  whe it had always been known as /dev/md3 (it was always an
unpartitioned  whole disk md component

Skipping mounting I was always able to get the array up via "disk
utilty"  by stopping the array, restarting it  and then issuing a sudo
mount -a (by specified uuid in fsatb .for affected array)

issuing a dpkg-reconfigure mdadm seemed to work through 2 reboots

but then the system after the next reboot  mounted one of the component disks 
on the mountpoint where the array is
(dev/sdc1 instead of /dev/md3p1)

unmounted did dpkg-reconfigure again rebooted and got "skip"

mdstat showed the array as up, but umounted

substituted the dev path for the uuid in fstab and its currently
rebooted ok..

Is there a timing issue somewhere?
