Bug Description

Binary package hint: mdadm

Sorry for such a simple report, but I'm a linux newbie. Since doing a clean install of 10.10 desktop, my 2 disk linux raid autodetect raid10 hangs on the skip screen at boot when added to fstab. No system files on the raid, strictly media. Also see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468064

I experience a similar problem. I have a two disk raid-0 configuration as root and sometimes the system boots, sometimes it does not. In my opinion a race-condition at start-up.
