This issue was reported to DRBD list and Citrix forums 2 weeks ago. There was no official follow up from neither of the vendors. Seems it's a Xen new kernel issue which was resolved internally at Citrix, but fix is not available at present time. See thread below: http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jsp
