Why not figure out how long the device takes and if it fails, slowly back off until the full time delay happens and then you can abort? > It's IOP issue and difficult to figure out because it depends on device itself. Agreed. > I know we have multiple devices with delay_use=0, but then it's recovered and detected by reset after 30s timeout, that is too long than 1 sec. So how do you know that making this smaller will help? There are many many odd and broken devices out there that take a long time to spin up before they are able to be accessed. That's what that option is there for, if you "know" you don't need to wait, you don't have to wait. Otherwise you HAVE to wait as you do not know how long things take. sorry, greg k-h
