Thanks for that hint.
But does fc_remote_port_unblock set online devices that were
previously offlined?
If not the problem of offlined devises is not solved with
this. If zfcp would block requests if it detects a path error a scsi
request might have already send to the devise which might cause that
the devise if offlined. Now if zfcp detects the path is up again and
calls fc_remote_port_unblock the device can still not be used because
it is offline.
I'll have to check the code if I am back from vacation.
