Bug Description

Binary package hint: mdadm

(8.04)

"mdadm --assemble --scan --no-degraded" creates inactive arrays that will not start with a subsequent "mdadm --assemble --scan (--run)"

(N.B. that is what the the udev rules and boot scripts are trying to do instead of using --incremental)

looping error message:
mdadm: SET_ARRAY_INFO failed for /dev/md0: Device or resource busy

(The array will be crated inactive only if degraded of course)

Using --incremental (Bug #157981) avoids this bug with ubuntu udev hotplugging.

We are now using --incremental, is this bug still relevant?

I am not sure, last time I looked (when still using ubuntu), initramfs was not using --incremental to set up the rootfs.

The issue itself may be something worth forwarding/asking to upstream, though.
