[Bug 44609] Re: RAID not implemented (use alternate CD instead)

[Saïvann Carignan]

Colin Watson or Tormod Volden : Here is a debdiff that add a target-
config script to mdadm package, which prevent the system from halting on
busybox at reboot after installing to a RAID device with ubiquity. This
script does what I said earlier (update mdadm.conf on target and update-
initramfs if it detects the presence of raid devices). Unless ubuntu
modify mdadm initramfs hook script to auto-assemble raid devices, this
script handle gracefully current static mdadm.conf configuration.

This script certainly require to be improved to look at something more
revelant than availability of /dev/md* devices, but it would be
certainly very easy to polish before karmic final release (4 line of
code). And it would let user benefit from this great feature without
hitting this bad bug. Real raid support on default ubuntu live iso could
be considered later.

I tested my debdiff and it build / install correctly and it work as
designed when mdadm is pre-installed in ubuntu iso (ubiquity install /
on raid device, and ubuntu don't hang on busybox at first boot).
