[Bug 931929] Re: root on RAID:0 fails to boot

[HadiM]

Got the same problem here. I need to execute dmraid -ay in the busybox
when boot fails. So I added dmraid -ay at the end of /usr/share
/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/dmraid file then sudo update-
initframfs -c -k all && sudo update-grub. This trick fix the problem but
I will need to do it after each kernel upgrade I guess... Someone could
say if the bug will be fixed or not ?

(I don't know if it's related but I am using Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 with
staging ppa which include systemd package...)

I can provide more info if you need.

Thank you for your help

Bug description:
  Once again booting from RAID is broken.

  There were similar bugs in Jaunty, Karmic, and Lucid.
  I don't recall encountering this error in Natty.
  It was definetly not present in Oneiric.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Upgrade to Precise (fresh install not tested, but likely has the same problem)
  2. Reboot
  3. Observe failure to find root and drop to busybox

  initramfs is not loading dmraid and therefore fails to boot.

  To work around this, when given the busybox prompt enter:

  dmraid -ay

  and verify that your raid devices are initialized, thn enter:

  exit

  and booting should continue.
