CentOS 6.4, current, Dell PE R720.
Had an issue today with a bus error, and googling only found two year old
references to problems with non-Dell drives (we just added two WD Reds,
and mdadm raided them).
So, looking through dmesg and /var/log/messages, I ran into a *lot* of

Googling finds various threads, and a bug or two, and one person has an

who gave that thread's O/P what to put never responded to *how* he chose
those parms.
Anyone here have any idea how to chose them?
