Doesn't boot from a new degraded RAID1 array
I decided to put my system on a raid1 array with md.
So, I duplicated the partition table, setted partition types on fd, created the degraded array (with "missing" disk) and finally copied my data and installed grub.
Then I found bug #462258 where I discovered that Ubuntu doesn't boot from degraded array (strange, I said, here https:/
* bootdegraded=true kernel parameter
* dpkg-reconfigure mdadm
* editing /etc/initramfs-
None works. It always says me that it can't find /dev/md2 (the root) and drops to the busybox, where mdadm -As doesn't work.
If in busybox I look for conf/conf.d/mdadm BOOT_DEGRADED is always on false...
If I boot from a LiveCD and run mdadm -As all works without a problem.
I work on a FakeRAID chip, but i boot with nodmraid option, so it shouldn't be a problem.
On busybox raid1 module seems to be charged.
I can provide fast shoots of the boot process.
P.S. all changes that I made to get it working was done chrooting on the md array from LiveCD
