[Software] mdadm.shutdown

#1 Post by rayandrews »

Yesterday I had a bit of a disaster trying to uninstall nouveau -- trashed everything. Nevermind, I'm well backed up. So, I restored from my backup and probably did a bit of housekeeping and upgraded and so on. And the system is now glacially slow. I mean five seconds to register a keystroke. (I'm here with the backup, and all is well). When I shutdown the glacier, I see this msg:

mdadm-shutdown.service - Perpare mdadm shutdown initramfs

... which sits there for the mandatory 1:30 (can that be shortened?) before Herr P. will permit my system to continue shutting down. What did I do? mdadm has something to do with RAID no? I doan need no steeenking RAID, so can I just uninstall it?

BTW initrd.img's are different, is the problem in there?
