Description

Description

When hostd encounters a sector read/write error on a volume, it appears to mark that volume as "unavailable" for an unknown amount of time. Sometimes these errors are transient, e.g. a remote file server rebooting or the like. It would be helpful to have some control that would trigger hostd to re-check the availability of the volume when the operator believes it should be available again.

Version

v1.1.0

What operating system are you running (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04, macOS, Windows 11)?

Pop!_OS 22.04 / kernel 6.8.0

Anything else?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the volume error tracking logic in the hostd codebase (likely in the volume or storage package). Add a new API endpoint or UI button that triggers a re check of volumes marked as unavailable. Ensure the re check clears the error state if the volume is accessible again.
