Do I/O timeouts and flush timeouts need to be independently adjusted? If you're having trouble with slow operations, it seems likely to be across the board.

Any other command-specific timeouts could be scaled the same way. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
