Any idea why it returned after 60 mins rather than 600 seconds that I set?

I checked dmesg, no error:

[Mon Mar  1 20:53:36 2021] XFS (sda2): Mounting V5 Filesystem
[Mon Mar  1 20:53:37 2021] XFS (sda2): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
[Mon Mar  1 20:53:45 2021] XFS (sda2): Ending recovery (logdev: internal)

I ran the same command on another drive (a SSD instead) on the same box at the same time, and it finished on time and returned.

Thanks in advance!

    @Anon yes latest gave me the same issue. yes, double dashes are expected and they are fine. not sure about whether there were a lot of I/O continuing be sent to the disk after time was up. Shorter timeout same issue. `libaio` same issue. Haven't tried with `direct` and without `end_fsync`. – HCSF Mar 03 '21 at 08:31

I believe it is a related to my faulty SATA controller. Replacing it solves the issue.
