Hello Guy's, i recently setuped a small ubuntu 14.4 Server, with 1x SSD Drive (Ubuntu installation on it) and 2x 3TB HDD drive, wich i combined to a Raid1 with mdadm (File Shares are on the Raid). now sometimes (arround every 3 time) i reboot, the Server hangs on boot: |incrementally starting raid arrays mdadm: Create user root not found mdadm: create group disk not found incrementally started raid arrays| these 4 lines keep repeating ( i waited arround 10 mins) if i reboot with ctrl + alt + del, the sever starts normal. If i look at the raid with "|mdadm --detail /dev/md0" everything looks ok. as i'M just a linux beginer and didn't find anything related to that error on the web, im really desperate. As far as i figured the problem out, something within the initramfs seems to go wrong? I allready tried to add these boot options to Grub bootdegraded=true raid=noautodetect didn't help.
You're not booting the OS from the md array, but from a single SSD, thus nothing about the array is needed in grub nor in the initrd image. The array should be started via post-boot scripts. Cheers, Stan
