Subject: reducing ATA retry count
Date: Wed, 21 May 2003 22:43:29 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030521194329.GA734@alatau> (raw)

Hello,

I've got an ATA hard disk with bad sectors. I want to read the good
sectors quickly, replacing the others with zeroes. However, when I'm
trying to read it sector by sector, reading each bad sector takes 20-150
s. Before diving into the code, I'd like to ask whether there is an
interface (like ioctl or /proc) to disable bus resets and re-reading
attempts if the first read operation fails.

Please cc to me, I'm not subscribed.

Thanks in advance,
Baurjan.
