Hey there,
In linux/drivers/scsi/st.c, there is a LONG_TIMEOUT of 14 seconds.
Is it dangerous to set this value to a higher one, like 30s or 60s ?
Because i sometimes have a problem with a raid-system finding bad-blocks on
one drive. Sometime it take 10 or more seconds and the raid is sending data
again, but often the linux says: scsi-reset due to timeout and then the
system hangs. May be this LONG_TIMEOUT is to short.
My config:
linux 2.0.29
pentium 200
adaptec 2940UW + raid
symbios 53c810 + tape + cdrom + jaz
linux is booting from raid
thanks
