Does SnapRAID retry reads or writes if a disk is not working?

-No. SnapRAID never retries disk operations. At the first reported Input/Output error, -it just stops the execution. +No. SnapRAID never retries disk operations. It reports the error and then it tries +to continue anyway. After a limit of 100 errors, it then stops the execution.

-If after a such error, you want to retry, you have to just repeat the command. +You can control the 100 errors limit using the "-L, --error-limit" option.

In the case of "fix" and "check" commands you can restart from the interrupted point using the "-s, --start"
