Re. tuning: How? I've tried to find ways to get md to track timeouts, and never been able to find any relevant parameters.It is not in md. It is in the libata/scsi layer. Just tune the per-device parameters, e.g. in /sys/block/sda/device/* AFAIK, if libata doesn't time out the device, md won't drop it off the array.
