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

[Stefano Garavaglia]

Should this fix work also for degraded raid not on boot partition?

I have a machine with non-raid root partition (indeed it's hw raid) and
some extra software raid space which is in fstab to be mounted on pass
2. I'm doing some tests with this setup in a VM.

I tried with stock 8.04.1 and if I remove a disk it halts during the boot with "file system check failed", because
the /dev/md0 is in incative state, so even if it's not a problem with root on raid the boot is blocked as well.

To let the system boot I had to manually mdadm --run /dev/md0, and later
boots are ok even if degraded.

I tried with the proposed packages above, but the behavior remained the same even after a dpkg-reconfigure mdadm to
change boot_degraded to let it boot anyway. Also I didn't get any prompt regarding this question.
