Comment 38 for bug 120375

I have had a bit of a look into what Diego has found.

Took me a while, nearly gave up until I found this script: "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mdadm". This script looks be a modified version of the one Diego has found on his Debian machine. It has the identical header and some similar code.

I would be hesitant to add the Debian script to the local-top folder. If you wanted a simple file copy solution and don't want to wait the 180seconds on the rare occasions you boot with a degraded array, create a script file with my suggested code in it and place is in the "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top" folder and it will be called from the "local" script before the time delay.
