Our motivation was really your second guess:
To make sure the admin knows something is wrong.We couldn't come up with any way to absolutely, reliably *guarantee* that the sysadmin would get notified except to have the box turn itself off. We even joked about putting lights and sirens on the box, but the problem is, at smaller sites, people sometimes stick these things in a closet somewhere and forget about them.
What does the system do when the raid.timeout is reached? Does the LCD display anything, is there an SNMP trap, autosupport email, autosupport note, etc. ? Also, does it completely power off?
I'm wondering if we should disable the feature or possibly extend the timeout.
Thanks.
