well, NegRSDReply.
code is correct, error message has copy'n'paste error.

because you probably configured "on-io-error = detach", and the primary
had still the hope it could continue as diskless client?

anyways.
these corner cases are not really good tested,
because it does not matter that much what exactly you do:
you have lost the last good copy of the data,
you are screwed, and you just cannot recover anyhow.

maybe the resync target should not panic in this particular situation,
but allow for the operator to try and rescue something else.
