    Subjectreducing ATA retry count
    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.
