[Users] BFA FC driver no stable on Fedora

Fri Jan 25 14:16:50 UTC 2013

Hi Mike

thanks for your reply.
I'm using oVirt Node Hypervisor release 2.5.5 (0.1.fc17).
On the latest kernel on fedora17 the problem is still here.

I've other issue on this node image, so I will test on fc18 and vdsm from
repo.
