Maroš,

just so we can see whether you are using any "unusual" DRBD config
options, can you post your drbd.conf please? Also, one of your Xen domU
config files (or libvirt domain config files, if using libvirtd) would
be helpful.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Florian

We are having kernel panics and reboots of the primary node just seconds after we plug out the dedicated DRBD (crossover) connection. The failure is occuring all the time when we pull out the cable if DRBD devices are primary and Xen VMs are running. I thought upgrade/downgrade could solve it, but 8.0.13, 8.0.14, 8.2.7, 8.3 are acting exactly the same way. So it seems like the failure is not DRBD-related but more into Xen/xenified kernel.
