Good Point.

I don't know why the driver authors chose that linux default,
but the todo with both your points:


if the appearind device is an md member device (mdadm examine?)

  if smartctl tool is available
    if scterc is disabled in cotaining ${HDD_DEV} AND added device is not
raid0/linear
      /usr/sbin/smartctl -l scterc,70,70 ${HDD_DEV}

  echo 180 >/sys/block/${HDD_DEV}/device/timeout
