I read that a single RAID1 device (the second is missing) can be

When a component of a raid disappears without warning, the raid will
refuse to assemble properly on next boot. You need to get at a
command line and force-assemble it
since when is it broken that way?
from where should that commandlien come from when the operating system
itself is on the for no vali dreason not assembling RAID?
luckily the past few years no disks died but on the office server 300
kilometers from here with /boot, os and /data on RAID1 this was not
true at least 10 years
* disk died
* boss replaced it and made sure
the remaining is on the first SATA
port
* power on
* machine booted
* me partitioned and added the new drive
hell it's and ordinary situation for a RAID that a disk disappears
without warning because they tend to die from one moment to the next
hell it's expected behavior to boot from the remaining disks, no
matter RAID1, RAID10, RAID5 as long as there are enough present for
the whole dataset
the only thing i expect in that case is that it takes a little longer
to boot when soemthing tries to wait until a timeout for the missing
device / componenzt
The behavior here in the post is rather debian specific. The initrd from
debian refuses to continue if it cannot get all partitions mentioned in
the fstab. On top i suspect an error in the initrd that the OP is using
which leads to the raid not coming up with a single disk.
The problems from the OP have imho not much to do with raid, and a lot
with debian specific issues/perhaps a mistake from the OP
