My wife has kindly bought the basics I need for a new PC for my birthday (yeah! :-) and I've ordered two Seagate Ironwolfs to go with it, so I will be setting this up from scratch. Raid, KVM, LVM, the works. So hangcheck timeouts, documenting on the wiki, all the other bits, the important thing is I'll have a brand new system I can play with that's not got anything important on it and if the system (software side only, of course :-) gets trashed, so what. I can try stuff out without worrying about putting my live system at risk. But back to topic. I know we have the disk timeout (on desktop drives, any random number up to 180secs :-). We have the linux i/o wait timeout - by default 30 secs. And now we have the hangcheck timeout, whatever that is ...
