Hi all! Just run into the standard problem by not having SCTERC enabled for my drives due to a spelling mistake in my rc.local script setting the parameters and started wondering: - What if the md module automatically set this during assembly of the RAID? - In the kernel module itself. It could always set it, if the set failed we could spit out a kernel warning that the used drive might not be the best as a RAID device. Would there be any ill effects from this? - And ditto for the device time-out. This would definitely make md work a lot better for people. I have a strange feeling that most don't know the parameter needs setting...
