Yes, I mean 2 tries, so 1 unnecessary rerty.

If kernel tries to read the same sector more then one time, I call that 
retry :)

I found that it depend on vm someway... First 'dd if=/dev/sdb 
of=/dev/null skip=300000 count=1' causes 2 failures (1 retry), but next 
'dd's only 1failure. After I drop vm cache 'sysctl vm.drop_caches=1', I 
get two failures again.

running 'dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null skip=300000 count=1 iflag=direct' 
always causes only 1 failure

IMHO, looks like cavity somewhere... Any ideas?
