Subject: When does a disk get flagged as bad?

OK, lets see if I can understand how a disk gets flagged
as bad and removed from an array. I was under the impression
that any read or write operation failure flags the drive as
bad and it gets removed automatically from the array.

However, as I indicated in a prior post I am having problems
where the array is never degraded. Does an error of type:
end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector ....
not count as a read/write error?

Thanks,

Alberto
