Bug#644876: initramfs-tools: Boot failure from software RAID1 + LVM2 by timing of mdadm + lvm initiation

[Dave Whitla <Dave.Whitla@wotifgroup.com>]

I believe this might be the culprit:

In /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/mdadm:


if [ -x "$(command -v udevsettle)" ]; then
  verbose && log_begin_msg "Waiting for udev to process events"
  udevsettle 10
  verbose && log_end_msg
fi

The condition will never be true because udevsettle was a symlink to /sbin/udevadm which has been absent from Debian since Lenny.

Try editing this file to replace the above with:

if [ -x "$(command -v udevadm)" ]; then
  verbose && log_begin_msg "Waiting for udev to process events"
  udevadm settle --timeout=10
  verbose && log_end_msg
fi
