Hello,
First of all, many thanks. I am going to test your patch on 9.0-RC1, and
try to backport it to 8.2 (which is the main version I am currently
using at work, in the environment where I have a critical need for FC
multipath redundancy...)
Again, thanks for your efforts. I hope to be giving feedback soon.
Cheers,
