Please demonstrate to me where the map file created in initramfs is then copied to the root filesystem so it is available for mdadm at that stage. It isn't! I'm not going to play the game setting the bug to confirmed/invalid back and forth.

to fix this you need to either copy the map file to the root fs once it is mounted, or place the map file location in /dev/.mdadm for example.

This is a bug. If it wasn't then I wouldn't need to make my own packages to fix it. (which work much better than ubuntu's).
