Dear WinDRBD community, We just released WinDRBD 1.1.17. It contains a refactored implementation of how WinDRBD handles disk timeouts. In this version WinDRBD has its own timer and if that timer elapses it compiletes all I/O requests pending with an error status. To DRBD it looks just like the disk has failed, so DRBD will detach the disk. An automation or cluster manager should react to that event, repair the disk and attach it again.
If you are using disk timeouts then please upgrade to this version. If not there is no urgent need to upgrade. An evaluation copy can be downloaded from: https://linbit.com/linbit-software-download-page-for-linstor-and-drbd-linux-driver/ To run this version on your system you have to put it into test mode by: bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON and reboot the Windows machine. Best regards, - Johannes
