[DRBD-user] Problem with disk errors

I have had a strange problem with DRBD 8.3 twice.  The server running as a
secondary had a disk problem and went diskless.  The primary then saw the
secondary was diskless and showed the transition for the secondary from
UpToDate to Diskless.  However, the primary still had problems with
timeouts. My question is what do I need to do to allow the primary to run
after the secondary has a disk problem?

My drbd.conf is as follows:

global {
    usage-count yes;
}

common {
  syncer { rate 25M; }
}


resource drbd0 {

  protocol C;

  handlers {
    pri-on-incon-degr "echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger ; halt -f";
    pri-lost-after-sb "echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger ; halt -f";
    local-io-error "echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger ; halt -f";
    outdate-peer "/usr/lib64/heartbeat/drbd-peer-outdater";
  }

  startup {
    degr-wfc-timeout 120;    # 2 minutes.
  }

  disk {
    on-io-error   detach;
  }

  net {
    max-buffers     2048;
    max-epoch-size  2048;
    after-sb-0pri disconnect;
    after-sb-1pri disconnect;
    after-sb-2pri disconnect;
    rr-conflict disconnect;
  }

  syncer {
    rate 25M;
    al-extents 257;
  }

  on bg-host-m1 {
    device     /dev/drbd0;
    disk       /dev/sdb2;
    address    172.20.0.1:7788;
    meta-disk  /dev/sdb1[0];
  }

  on bg-host-m2 {
    device    /dev/drbd0;
    disk      /dev/sdb2;
    address   172.20.0.2:7788;
    meta-disk /dev/sdb1[0];
  }
}



Here is a small part of /var/log/messages on the primary.  Also, please note
the Concurrent local write message:
