Is there any work going on to handle readerrors on a raid5 disk being

It's done. 2.6.15 I think, but definitely in 2.6.16.
And thanks to a dodgy drive, I can confirm it works for RAID-5 at least..
I wonder Neil, would it be possible to have a corrected error type message added somewhere to
mdadm's monitor mode.. so you at least get an E-mail to let you know something dodgy happened and
it's all good now, but perhaps you should take a periodic look at that drive to make sure it's not
flaking out ?
Or have I just asked for another feature that's already there ?
I've been doing a cat `find /sys/block -name errors` periodically to make sure the counters are not
incrementing.
