[Bug 1059541] Re: Change default behavoir to boot degraded RAID

Quick fix

it's prompted for during the installer, but only if you have root on
raid, meaning if you don't know this, and you lose a drive, even with a
RAID-6 with a spare, which is totally good, the server won't boot up
because of this nonsense, and you need console access…

Title:
  Change default behavoir to boot degraded RAID

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A degraded RAID should be started and boot should be attempted *by
  default*, since jumping into busybox in case one is degraded, gives
  the admin very few possible actions than "exit" and debug the problem
  from Linux instead. Not booting degraded arrays is also a problem for
  new administrators, since jumping into busybox blanks the screen and
  in pratice stops the information flow from the system.

  Can you please change this in future versions?
