I have JBOD in FL-port and if I unplug the cable or disable the switch port, the qla2xxx driver doesn't fail the I/O soon. The remote port status is 'online' all the time. The I/O's usually timeout after the usual scsi timeout. Based on the existing structure, al_pa is at the lowest addressed byte, so the b24 field's interpretation as an integer is *incorrect* on big endinan systems. You should be able to print the b24 as an integer and see what you get is incorrect on big endian systems.
Thanks, Malahal.
