[Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot

Off topic for a bug report but I will set you straight on a few things.

Dmraid support is good but for later hardware is crappy at best but
don't blame the Ubuntu devs. The original developer (a red hat guy)
stopped developing the project a while ago and we have been trying to
get him to merge fixes for years.

There is a far better implementation for software raid which is mdadm,
but this is not compatible with windows dual boot. Do you rant on
Microsofts bug reports that they don't support 100% of features of
mdadm? (they actual support no features of mdadm and dont have public
bug reports)

This bug has been fixed by Phillip Susi who is a dedicated maintainer
and usually fixes bugs very quickly. The only issues are when bugs pop
up after the development cycle which makes it harder to get them merged
due to the merging requirements after release.

Final thoughts. Ubuntu is an 'Unstable' operating system (built from
debian unstable) and it uses the latest software packages that can be
unstable but usually in this LTS until the 12.04.1 release.
