Hi xor, thanks for trying it out again.
No the new mdadm package hasn't been moved to natty-updates yet. Since
this is a race condition, its entirely possible that something else was
slightly different enough in your new install to avoid the issue. While
it sometimes manifests with an install on degraded RAID1, the test case
is to install on a full RAID1 and then remove one drive. That seems to
cause the problem much more reliably. Especially on a KVM virtual machine.
