Comment 31 for bug 603582

RnSC, by an large the work that I have done is merging the latest mdadm from Debian with Ubuntu related fixes. Also, I have cherry picked fixes from Neil Browns mdadm git repository and also created one other Ubuntu's mdadm related fix for initramfs - so that the auto assembly of md devices works. These need wider testing after which they will see their way in the Ubuntu's mdadm package. These patches shall be applied both to 2.7.1 and 3.4.1 soon!
As for the delta with respect to Jools work, I am not aware of it at this point. I will sync up with him on irc. Thanks for pointing this out.
