I strongly encourage you to run "smartctl -l scterc /dev/sdX" for each of your drives. For any drive that warns that it doesn't support SCT ERC, set the controller device timeout to 180 like so: echo 180 >/sys/block/sdX/device/timeout If the report says read or write ERC is disabled, run "smartctl -l scterc,70,70 /dev/sdX" to set it to 7.0 seconds. You then set up a boot-time script to do these adjustments at every restart.
Sounds like a very bad idea if your drive is part of a RAID array. -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. ....
