I appear to have found a small issue. On my test machine (a physical x86 server), once I've configured mdadm to boot degraded arrays automatically, it seems impossible to change it back. These are the steps I took:

1. Installed 8.04.1 x86 to a physical box with 2 SCSI disks in a Raid-1 mirror.
2. Removed first disk.
3. Bootde the server. The server pauses and displays the degraded array warning and asks if I wish to continue as intended.
4. Continued the boot.
5. Ran 'dpkg-reconfigure mdadm' and enable automatic booting from degraded arrays.
6. Rebooted the server, server reboots fine and doesn't pause when it detects the degraded array.
7. Ran 'dpkg-reconfigure mdadm' again and disable automatic booting from degraded arrays.
8. Rebooted the server, servers reboots and continues to automatically boot, even though the array is still degraded.

Can anyone else replicate?
