There maybe many folks out there who want to use RAID on their personal,
non-production systems. Assuming access and thru-put values are not
critical a problem might be "You can't use Desktop drives for RAID".
Which, I think, most of us know is not really true, but - - If the
timing issues were to be relaxed, allowing the drive to fix itself,
before being kicked by the md process, might not the average Joe be
better served? There is a big difference between going a mile and
buying a commodity drive, and being "up" in an hour vs. finding a
working system, going online, paying price+, and getting/paying fast
shipping. Which might resolve the issue in days instead of hours.
Any possibility of a parallel, less critical to drive response, release
of md? Or a patch to allow same?
Thanks
