I don't know why the driver authors chose that linux default, but the todo with both your points: if the appearind device is an md member device (mdadm examine?) if smartctl tool is available if scterc is disabled in cotaining ${HDD_DEV} AND added device is not raid0/linear /usr/sbin/smartctl -l scterc,70,70 ${HDD_DEV} echo 180 >/sys/block/${HDD_DEV}/device/timeout -- 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
