Thanks for your reply. Actually, we have met the problem in ipsan situation. When exec 'fsck -a <remote-device>', short-term fluctuations or abnormalities may occur on the network. Despite the driver has do the best effort, some IO errors may occur. So add retrying in e2fsprogs can further improve the reliability of the repair process.
But why doesn't this happen when the file system is mounted, and why is that acceptable? And why not change the driver to do more retries? - Ted
