From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Since commit f931d8374cad ("nfs/blocklayout: refactor block device opening"), an error is reported when no multi-path device is found. But this isn't a fatal error if the subsequent device open is successful. On systems without multi-path devices, this message always appears whether there is a problem or not. Instead, generate less system journal noise by reporting an error only when both open attempts fail. The new error message is more actionable since it indicates that there is a real configuration issue to be addressed.
