Subject: Disabling ATAPI retry?
Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2003 15:58:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3e67c49b.7c12.1804289383@wideopenwest.com> (raw)
I am attempting to copy data off a damaged partition on an
ATAPI hard drive onto a new drive using 'dd
conv=sync,noerror' since my Deskstar recently blew up.
My main problem is the fact that when it hits a bad sector,
the drive goes into retry mode for a sizeable portion of
time before coming back with an error. This means that as a
rough estimate, it is going to take a month to copy the
partition.
Is there a boot parameter or a runtime command that can tell
the linux IDE driver not to automatically retry on error.
Sorry if this is an FAQ, but I could not find the
information.
