Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You enable the cluster shared volume (CSV) feature on a Windows Server 2008 R2-based failover cluster.

  • You add some disks to the list of cluster shared volumes.

  • The connection to a disk is lost unexpectedly.

In this scenario, you receive Stop error messages that resemble the following:

STOP: 0x0000003B (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTIONSTOP 0x00000027 (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) RDR_FILE_SYSTEMSTOP 0x0000007e (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Notes

  • The parameters in these Stop error messages vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.

  • Not all "0x0000003B," "0x00000027," and "0x0000007e" Stop errors are caused by this issue.

Cause

This issue occurs because of a race condition in Partition Manager (Partmgr.sys). Partition Manager does not use a removal lock for the read/write I/O request packet (IRP). This behavior causes Partition Manager to access a nonexistent device object. Therefore, you receive the Stop error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
