what the... these are SECONDS! What on earth could delay a sata attached disk read for 30 (now 180) seconds if not a disk failure? I OS hang? Sorry about that question, but I don't understand.. I have never seen such a problem.
A consumer drive will spend considerable time trying to read a sector before giving up. I believe 120 seconds is not uncommon.
The raid drives will typically give up after 7 seconds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-Limited_Error_Recovery -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@xxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
