OK, calling for a solution to stop desktop drives from causing data loss and affecting the mdadm reputation: I gather that mdadm could ship with one additional udev rule that calls a script to check/set scterc, or falls back to increasing the system timout. Phil, you mentioned having posted such a script, could you prepare it for addition to the mdadm package? Would maintainers be ok with adding such a udev rule and script to the package?
