From ba22dcbf106338a5c46d6979f9b19564faae3d49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 21:39:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] md: improvements to raid5 handling of read errors Two refinements to the 'attempt-overwrite-on-read-error' mechanism. 1/ If the array is read-only, don't attempt an over-write. 2/ If there are more than max_nr_stripes read errors on a device with no success, fail the drive. This will make sure a dead drive will be eventually kicked even when we aren't trying to rewrite (which would normally kick a dead drive more quickly.
