Right.

Could be. I've included the SMART info for one of the drives below.
Most of the values look very good to me. E.g. no re-allocated sectors
at all. The only one that raises an eyebrow is:
195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x001a 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 540903625
Do the stats below support the theory that these are timeouts due to
media errors? Does anyone know if Samsung Spinpoint drives can be
tweaked to not try so hard to retrieve data? Or is it possible to make
the kernel more tolerant of such timeouts?
Thanks,
Dan
