If we could somehow compile a static binary for timeout, then maybe it can be stored in JFFS. It is alot of work for doing such though..Here's some log output from running the test loop on tighter timings.
It reported 5 retries, while the average is 2-3.
Running time appears unaffected: 5:07 min per 3000 loop iterations.
I switched to these versions because the other one using timeout falls apart if I unplug the USB drive.
Experienced it during the shutdown process. Unmounted the USB device and before executing sync;halt a few seconds later I was flooded with errors.
