[Bug 1060417] [NEW] mdadm BOOT_DEGRADED setting is ignored

[yct]

Public bug reported:

The file:

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/mdadm-functions

is supossed to check for:

BOOT_DEGRADED="true"

in file:

/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm

(also as per
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID)

however, it instead checks for it in the file:

/conf/conf.d/mdadm

which doesn't exit.

Additionally, BOOT_DEGRADED should default to "true" and not "false", at
least for the Cloud Server images, otherwise on a RAID failure, you are
left with an unbootable production system, which kind of defies the
point of having the RAID in the first place.

Thanks,
J.
