[Bug 381514] [NEW] Jaunty not Booting with dmraid Active

[RonParent]

Public bug reported:

I'm working with nvidia implementation of raid on an Asus MB.
Ubuntu 9.04 standard release with all updates installed as released

With prior ubuntu releases dmraid activated my raid partition at boot
without intervention. I was then able to automatically mount them by
entering the proper mount instructions in /etc/fstab. That no longer
works. The symbolic links for my raid are now absent from /dev/mapper
until I manually run dmraid -ay in a terminal. I then have to manually
mount each one. This can probably be corrected by editing one of the
boot scripts. I am too new and uninformed to dig any deeper without
guidance.

A follow up serious issue is why the prior behaviour has been changed
with the release of 9.04? This current behaviour is a major obstacle to
any one attempting to install to raid0 especially, who is not
sufficiently versed in linux/ubuntu to devise a work around (including
me). It would be much simpler to the average user if the raid system
were automatically detected and activated on boot. These implementation
of fakeraid on the motherboard have become ubiquous on current MBs and
the general lack reasonably easy and clear processes for handling them
will become a major obstacle to all but skilled programers to use
ubuntu. This is especially true in an installation process that invites
the unwary user to partition their existing raid arrays out of
existence!  I know this is happening - check the forums.

Although previously reported, I see no evidence that it was fixed as
stated!
