Comment 59 for bug 872220

My case happened with 12.04: I almost never reboot my machine and since ive installed it, i never rebooted until now. i fall into a degraded state without possibility to boot in degraded mode and even using super grub disk to set the bootdegraded=true. Array start in read only mode and notting in the world make it start restoring in console.

But using Quantal test version this happens:

root@wall-e:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md125 : active (read-only) raid1 sda[1] sdb[0]
      104857600 blocks super external:/md127/0 [2/2] [UU]
       resync=PENDING

md126 : active raid0 sda[1] sdb[0]
      1743800320 blocks super external:/md127/1 128k chunks

md127 : inactive sda[1](S) sdb[0](S)
      5024 blocks super external:imsm

Im a lot afraid about data loss because even before the resync finish, i got this:

<A LOT OF MESSAGES EQUAL NEXT LINE, CHANGING INODE NUMBER>
[ 1102.993890] EXT4-fs (md125p1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 3932453

[ 1104.169317] EXT4-fs (md125p1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)

And i dont know what to do. I will wait this restore and attempt to reboot.
