> It's surprising that initramfs-tools' init calls hostname, but doesn't take any steps to make it available in the initramfs.
I guess it's quite sane to not have the hostname leak into the initramfs. The initramfs stays universal to boot different root filsystems. And if a root filesystem is encrypted, having the hostname in initramfs might be even less desired. The new mdadm should be able to incrementally assemble any arrays plugged securely, without needing/doing any hostname checks on the member devices, relying on UUIDs instead to prevent wrong assemblies. So this hostname insertion should just be a temporary workaround, and go away with an update to a more recent mdadm version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136252 Title: [->UUIDudev] mdadm.conf w/o ARRAY lines but udev/mdadm not assembling arrays.
