Well, this particular retry problem does not exist in 2.4. And in
general, as far as software RAID is concerned, 2.4 is a lot better...I
know, at least with raid1, you can fail a device just about anytime you
want (with lots of write activity, during a resync, etc.) and as often
as you want, and it doesn't hang...

This depends on the lower level device. qlaxxxx takes about 30s to
report the unplugging of a cable as an IO error; so access to the md
device blocks for 30s...
