The MD driver for level-456 should prevent re-reading read errors.
For redundant raid it makes no sense to retry the operation:
When one of the disks in the array hits a read error, that will
cause a stall for the reading process:
- either the read succeeds (e.g. after 4 seconds the HDD error
strategy could read the sector)
- or it fails after HDD imposed timeout (w/TLER, e.g. after 7
seconds (might be even longer)
The user can enable/disable this functionality by the following
commands:
To Enable:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/raid456_retry_read_error
To Disable, type the following at anytime:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/raid456_retry_read_error
