thanks for this link, which shows us, that there might be better solutions in near future.

if "different" means that they use SMR - yes, we know this. Our current use is mostly write-once/read-many, so the described additional timeouts might not happen here.
nevertheless, the cooperation beetween filesystem and disk, which is mentioned at the given link, sounds better, so we'll try to wait some weeks or might find a temporary solution.
(perhaps this new series will have ERC/TLER enabled, when they let the kernel do the SMR-control...)
