#34 worked for me for all of about two weeks or so, then no more. I suspect an update, but I couldn't find any update of any package that seemed relevant.

I've now resorted to my first workaround in #8, i.e. to mount and unmount the raid partitions separately from the ordinary boot and shutdown process. That of course only works when the raid filesystems aren't used during boot.

Since upstart is gone I converted my workaround to an old-school init.d script, which works with systemd. I've attached it in case it helps someone, but note that MDDEV and MOUNTS will need to be changed for the local configuration.

While trying the script manually, I did notice that umount sometimes failed due to filesystem being busy. I couldn't find any process with open files though, and during shutdown such things should be cleaned up earlier anyway. Might be a hint for this latest failure.

I usually stick to technical issues in bug reports, but I have to say that this problem has gotten quite tedious and the lack of action - even for an open source project - is disappointing.
