direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Hi,

We have 3 servers managed by a Ganeti installation that provide xen 
virtual machines on top of DRBD disks.
Last week one of the servers rebooted itself at around 3am with very 
little in the way of information in the log files.
The only possible error I can locate in the log files appears to be 
related to drbd but I cannot find any information about it after a 
considerable online search.

I think the first two lines that refer to frontend_changed may be the 
issue - could anyone shed any light as to what it means?
Software Spec:
Debian 6 Squeeze
Xen 4
Drbd 8.3.7

Many thanks,
Tom
