I thought it helpful to link to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/917250 which seems related, although pertains specifically to racing conditions leading to disks being erroneously degraded rather than legitimately degraded, but irrelevant disk causing inappropriate boot failures.
It's stating the obvious but I found I could boot normally with degraded softraid disks by uninstalling mdadm, which removes the mdadm scripts from the /usr/share/initramfs-tools folder and the initrd image. I'll try to find a fix for my problem, by hacking about with the mdadm scripts added to initramfs-tools, but suspect this issue is best tied to the mdadm package, where said scripts originate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872220 Title: Fails to boot when there's problems with softraid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/872220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
