28 udev upgrade was no problem, new kernel booted as well, but again I saw
29 the FC flapping up and down and no filesystems coming up there.
30
31 So I patched the older kernel and went back ... for now our one issue is
32 solved (enabling ACLs for the filesystems) but 4.1.15 as kernel isn't
33 quite up to date.
34
35 I wonder if that FC adapter would need a firmware update or so. Too
36 risky anyway, the server is a few 100 kms away etc etc
