[Bug 290885] Re: SRU: Backport of Boot Degraded RAID functionality from Intrepid to Hardy

[Steve Beattie]

I've walked through the steps at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootDegradedRaid
and can confirm that the degraded raid boot options work (modulo the
issue I raised around grub/MBR). The dpkg-reconfigure steps, the kernel
command line options, and the /etc/initramfs/conf.d/mdadm settings all
seem to work correctly. After I ran the grub-install, I was able to boot
in degraded mode or not, depending on configuration, to either disk in
the raid setup. I was able to re-add partitions back into the degraded
arrays with mdadm, as well as fail, remove, and reconfigure devices. I
didn't notice any regressions.

My testing was in an virtualbox vm so I was unable to hot-add an entire
disk to emulate step 13 in the wiki page.
