Thank you for your reply. In scenarios similar to UNC error, where a 
disk returns an error through D2H or SDB, no error is reported for other 
I/Os in the disk. In this case, AHCI will increase the number of retry 
times for other I/Os, and AHCI may face similar problems you say, but 
default failures may not be very good for users.

In addition, for commands with pass through type, other I/Os are 
immediately returned with default errors and are not retried, but AHCI 
only report one single error I/O.

Thanks,
Xingui
