Hi, I'm new to the Linux SCSI community. I got a few questions on how SCSI drivers handle read/write failures.
When there is a latent sector fault (unable to read/write into a sector), or if the data is corrupted (CRC failed), does the SCSI drivers reissue the command ? Does this differ from one SCSI driver (say, for IBM disk) to another (say, for Seagate) ? >From my code browsing, I assume that retry happens in few cases. Some of them are: 1. MEDIUM_ERROR What types of errors are classified as MEDIUM_ERROR ? Is this same as data corruption ? 2. ABORTED_ERROR Again, what types of errors are classified as this type ? Any information regarding this will be greatly helpful.
