Re: [PATCH 05/13] lightnvm: pblk: Count all read errors in stats

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Igor: Have you seen this happening in real life?

I think it would be better to count all expected errors and put them
in the right bucket (without spamming dmesg). If we need a new bucket
for i.e. vendor-specific-errors, let's do that instead.

Someone wiser than me told me that every error print in the log is a
potential customer call.

Javier: Yeah, I think S.M.A.R.T is the way to deliver this
information. Why can't we let the drives expose this info and remove
this from pblk? What's blocking that?

Thanks,
Hans
