Hi,
in sd.c, the timeout for a READ or WRITE command is set to 60000, which is
60s (!). Does it really need to be so high ? For sddump it's set to 10s
which looks more reasonable.

Such a long timeout is annoying with hot-plug hardware: you may unplug the
disk while a command is active, and it takes 1mn to timeout. The RAID device 
using this is hung for 1mn as well :(

If noone object I'll change this to 10000 (10s) in a few days.
