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

[Normunds (Alistek)]

I agree, it is not acceptable default boot behavior. 
One of reasons for using raid is because of making some system redundancy. 
For non expert users such behavior leads to unbootable (e.g. crashed system) what is not we totaly expect from system with raid array.
Logic behaviour: system boots up, but with error message in GUI like "Your data is not safe bla bla..."

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?
