host A and host B are connected to the same FC switch with qla2300 HBA card. And I can see device such as "/dev/sda" through command "fdisk -l" on A. but if I reboot host B, then the device is removed for some reason. The messages are: kernel: rport-0:0-0: blocked FC remote port time out: removing target and saving binding kernel: rport-1:0-0: blocked FC remote port time out: removing target and saving binding My problem is, the device can not come back automaticly unless I reload the driver module "qla2300". But after I reload module "qla2300" on host A, the device on host B disappeared. Now I've updated my kernel to 2.6.15.git6?B I select the driver as: <*> QLogic QLA2XXX Fibre Channel Support [ ] Use firmware-loader modules (DEPRECATED) but After I reboot my host to the new kernel, I can not find the device.

Howerver, if I use the kernel 2.6.11.3, I've not encountered this problem.
