Hello, I've been trying to do some basic testing with dm-multipath and in the course of that have hit a strange situation with the following setup: - HBA: scsi0 : qla2xxx qla2300 0000:07:01.0: QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver: 8.01.00b5-k-debug QLogic QLA2342 - ISP2312: PCI-X (133 MHz) @ 0000:07:01.0 hdma-, host#=0, fw=3.03.15 IPX going to: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01 Vendor: IFT Model: A16F-R2221 Rev: 342E Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 on kernel 2.6.13. The strange situation is that when disconnecting the fibre on the disk/enclosure end and reconnecting it, the FC port is not reenabled. I've enabled DEBUG_QLA2100 and QL_DEBUG_LEVEL_14 and am seeing the following debug messages: ...

The most worrying indication is the final "blocked FC remote port time out" which seems like the port is not being unblocked when it should. Has anyone seen this issue, and is it known, and if so, are there any fixes for it? Any information about this would be appreciated. Thanks
