Failed Array prevents transition to Runlevel 2 in Jessie
I am having a persistent problem. I have an array system that is having problems. Obviously, that needs to get fixed, but it is taking quite some time to find the root cause. In the meantime, the array is not bootable, so it is not needed during the initrd phase of the startup. Previously, this made little difference, but in Jessie, the system refuses to transition to Runlevel 2 while any mount target in fstab is failing. This is a real problem, because the system is headless, and getting the system working from the console is a huge pain. I don't think this behavior was present prior to Jessie. In any case, does anyone have any recommendations on how to get the system to boot at least to the point where ssh is available even if the array assembly fails?
