Reminds me of a 30 minute SCSI timeout for the rewind command to a magnetic
tape...
SCSI still has (AFAIK) 60s disk timeouts, but actually if a disk's response
time exceeds 3 seconds on reads, it's time to replace it. I don't know what the
IBM storage system does behind the scenes, but the timeout seems excessively
slow.
