[Bug 872220] Re: Fails to boot when there's problems with softraid

[michael brenden]

I reinstalled, rebooted, and tried the "fix" given here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11388915&postcount=18

The shit doesn't work.  Server still comes up wrong.  These kinds of
cavalier games and changes are life changing and extremely damaging.

After fucked by 10.04 LTS fiasco with Upstart shit, which came after the
6.06 LTS fucked by archive location change, I've been shown by the now
several years long-term proof that Ubuntu is actually a joke.  Tonight's
a pivot, forcing me back to Debian, or -eek- CentOS.  Have a nice time,
peeps.  Peace.

Title:
  Fails to boot when there's problems with softraid

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10 has a new feature that it warns you while booting if
  there's a program with the softraid.

  It tells you that a hard disk in the softraid is missing, then asks,
  on the console:

  Continue to boot? y/N

  But it ignores all keypresses. After 5 seconds or so it then times
  out, falls to the default "N" option, and dumps you to a emergency
  bash prompt, with no indication on how to proceed.

  The feature is a good idea, but not in the current broken state.
