Can you increase your timeout values so that instead of returning an error, it waits for the disk? >From Dell Equallogic's recommendations, for example: " For most Linux operating systems, use the following script to update the timeout value: for i in ‘ls /sys/class/scsi_disk‘; do echo "60" > /sys/class/scsi_disk/$i/device/timeout; done • For Red Hat operating systems, use the following script to update the timeout value: for i in ‘ls /sys/class/scsi_device‘; do echo "60" > /sys/class/scsi_device/$i/device/timeout; done You can add the appropriate script to your system start up script. The location of the startup script varies with different Linux distributions; for example, /etc/rc.local, /etc/init.d/rc.local. If devices are connected after startup, run this script again to update the new devices’ timeout value.
