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?
