Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that
curiosity killed the cat, I say only that the cat died nobly.

Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
While Greg Oster and I were discussing RAID features, we decided it'd be
neat to have a kernel interface that could report disk or raid errors to
a file system.
The file system could then use the information from below to translate
this to errors that are meaningful to the user.
Direct reports from the disk/RAID are not as useful, since you could
have e.g. ffs-on-cgd-on-RAID, and if RAID just reports a checksum problem
in block 5100194 then the user will have no useful information at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Design such a kernel interface, support it from sd/wd/raid/ccd/lvm/...
and the file systems.
