You're probably not too far off, but maybe in practice the frequency and
depth off the lookback is still lower than the minimum amount of time a dc
tech can physically walk out to a server and swap out a failing disk that
gets unmounted?

Once it's unmounted it stops generating errors, so maybe it's safer to pick
a frequency that's generally lower then the cycle time on a drive swap and
worst case you risk a replaced drive getting unmounted again for old errors
when the dc techs are super on the ball for some reason.  At least an extra
unmount can be fixed remotely.
