You'd have to add the drain data on error hack first, right now we will

The problem with 'select' here is that it will enable BLK_DEV_SD,
but if SCSI is not enabled, it will not become enabled -- i.e.,
select does not follow the dependency chain.

Jeff Hello
We have in our machines several sata (mostly maxtor-segate) disks in an array.
These disks generate too many ata-io errors at clients sites.
From raid1 code I have learned that a re-write sometimes fixes a disk.
Question: Why ?
Question: Does it always work ?
