Hi,

here they are now. The smartctl-timeouts scripts fix commonly
mismatching defaults with drives that have no error recovery timeout
configured, which has often lead to data loss.

To test, extract the files to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and
*reboot*. For me, the rules somehow had no effect without
rebooting.

Please test, report, and then ship it with smartctl/mdadm.

Cheers,
Chris
