Not sure I follow -- wouldn't such users prefer a transport like e.g.
scsi that *does* perform retries (as well as other error recovery)?

(Possibly they would also want features like mirroring & multipath, but
in those scenarios doing additional retries from the filesystem is also
unlikely to help much.)
