Hello Sam.

Of course I would prefer to see the kernel fixed, or at least a
explanation of why it slows down after an error.
FYI this is actually a deliberate action by the Linux kernel (and by
some other Unix derivatives, and by Windows, but I don't know about
OSX on Macs) when some disk drive errors occur.
Thank you for this informative message.
This raises the obvious question about whether there is an easy way
(e.g. without recompiling the kernel) to influence or reverse this
behaviour, if wanted, under user control. I haven't yet looked into
this, but I suspect the possibilities to influence this easily (if
there are any at all) will also vary depending on OS, kernel version,
and more especially for pre-libata.
I would be more or less happy if a solution could be found (or
developed) at least for linux. :-)
Hope that starts to answer your question, but I know we'd all prefer
a different situation. :-)
Sure. Thanks.
Antonio.
