Ah! Now I've actually read through some of the finds (and found dozens 
of instances where you recommend the same - you *should* have a dime for 
every time you mention that to people), I'm happy to report that just 
one of my drives (at least from what they claim) does not support scterc 
- the rest just had it disabled... This is fixed now, and a brand new 
udev rule should take care of the timeout for the other drive. This 
should make my array way more stable - thank you so much!

Smartd is notifying me of all such - and since most of the drives are 
still under warranty - I replace them as soon as possible when they 
start to show up bad blocks.

Again, thank you Phil for your patience.
