** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ This is an SRU regression confined to precise-proposed. Reverting part of the upstream changes is sufficient to resolve this for precise. The issue remains unfixed in quantal; this is not a blocker for the SRU.
+
+ [Test case]
+ Verify that the submitter's machine boots successfully with the latest mdadm installed.
+
+ [Regression potential]
+ Since the existing mdadm in precise does not do auto-assembly of imsm or ddf arrays using udev rules, the risk of regression by continuing to not assemble them is minimal. Only risk of regression is a mis-edit causing some other array, previously handled correctly in precise, to no longer be assembled; the risk of this is very small.
+
After upgrading to the mdadm in precise-proposed, all newly created
initrds do not boot. I'm using a pseudo raid with to harddisks on a Sony
Vaio Z. Raid level is 0. I have one unencrypted boot partition and an
encrypted root.
During startup the system asks for the password to decrypt the root
partition as usual but fails to mount the partition afterwards. I always
get the message that there are one or more degraded partitions. However,
with an older version of mdadm everything works perfectly.
My current solution: Downgrade to latest stable mdadm (precise).
Please let me know what additional information is required. I can also perform some tests as long as my (prodcutive) system is not in danger.
