+*************************
+
+If a GBIC of type Short-wave, Long-wave, or Copper is detected, it will
+print out; otherwise, "none" is displayed. If the cabling is correct
+and a loop circuit is completed, you should see "Monitor"; otherwise,
+"LoopFail" (on open circuit) or some LPSM number/state with bit 3 set.
+
+
+ERRATA:
+1. Normally, Linux Scsi queries FC devices with INQUIRY strings. All LUNs
+found according to INQUIRY should get READ commands at sector 0 to find
+partition table, etc. Older kernels only query the first 4 devices. Some
+Linux kernels only look for one LUN per target (i.e. FC device).
+
+2. Physically removing a device, or a malfunctioning system which hides a
+device, leads to a 30-second timeout and subsequent _abort call.
+In some process contexts, this will hang the kernel (crashing the system).
+Single bit errors in frames and virtually all hot plugging events are
+gracefully handled with internal driver timer and Abort processing.
+
+3. Some SCSI drives with error conditions will not handle the 7 second timeout
+in this software driver, leading to infinite retries on timed out SCSI commands.
+The 7 secs balances the need to quickly recover from lost frames (esp. on sequence
+initiatives) and time needed by older/slower/error-state drives in responding.
+This can be easily changed in "Exchanges[].timeOut".
+
+4. Due to the nature of FC soft addressing, there is no assurance that the
+same LUNs (drives) will have the same path (e.g. /dev/sdb1) from one boot to
+next. Dynamic soft address changes (i.e. 24-bit FC port_id) are
+supported during run time (e.g. due to hot plug event) by the use of WWN to
+SCSI Nexus (channel/target/LUN) mapping.
+
+5. Compaq RA4x00 firmware version 2.54 and later supports SSP (Selective
+Storage Presentation), which maps LUNs to a WWN. If RA4x00 firmware prior
+2.54 (e.g. older controller) is used, or the FC HBA is replaced (another WWN
+is used), logical volumes on the RA4x00 will no longer be visible.
