Happy Friday!

re:

We have to deploy an important SL server by 1 Oct and we'd like it
to be SL6.2. We intend it to have Linux Software RAID1 pair of OS disks,
but this dreadful problem is of much concern.

We already have some SL6.2 servers (with hardware RAID1) so would like to 
go with SL6.2 - we're familiar with it & don't wish to yet go with SL6.3
(very little site support available, can't risk any "too new" problems)

Naturally we'd like to ready+test new important server well before 1 Oct.

What's the probability that a fixed dracut will be released for SL6.2 
Very Soon (any ETA?) so that an SL6.2 build on this new server in few
weeks wouldn't be vulnerable to this "can't boot from degraded Linux 
Software RAID1" dracut bug?

Many thanks!
