Hello,

I use many windows as xen domu and installed your winpv driver. I experience the problem in very special case, but not an unique.
The windows freeze when the disk backend of domu is DRBD and the the DRBD secondary node (DRBD status=secondary) goes to disconnect, for example i reboot the computer. 

The problem is reproducible:
- Two DELL server with PERC RAID controller
- RAID0,1,10 virtual disks boot side
- DRBD backend is an RAID virtual disk
- Primary side installed an Windows with XEN VBD driver

If the secondary side goes to offline, the DRBD status change to disconencted, but working
continuously, but the windows freeze.

- No problem with linux domu
- No problem until the winpv VBD install
- No problem if the DRBD backend is not a RAID virtual disk (for example with M.2 NVME backend)

I tested the
- Winpv driver 9.0 (signed)
- Winpv driver latest (testsigned)
- citrix xenserver driver (managementagent-9.4.0)
and the problem is occurs in everyone.

Everyting workin fine until the secondary DRBD node goes to offline / disconnected. I think i tested many situation and finally left the WinPV driver what is caused the problem i mean.

Do you have any tipp, what can i set?
How can i debugging this problem?

I try to see what happened on linux domu when the DRBD status change, but i can't find anything.

Have any ideas?

Thank you and best regards.
Attila
