No.... maybe not too surprising though.
The data-check will pause to let other IO through, but if there is lots of IO
queued up it could cause some longish delays...

2 minutes does seem a bit long though, so maybe there is a bug somewhere. 

And had 3 consecutive timeouts, so that makes it 6 minutes which really is
too long.

What sort of array was this?  RAID1? RAID5 ??

Thanks,
NeilBrown
