No luck with the Xenial kernel (4.4.0-22), I could repro the crash 2 times (after a couple of hours each). Testing the Wily kernel next.
Here is the relevant part of the logs (both crashes produced near identical logs): Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] tag#73 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] tag#73 CDB: Write(10) 2a 00 01 16 6c 00 00 04 00 00 Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 18246656 Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] killing request Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] CDB: Write(10) 2a 00 01 17 60 00 00 04 00 00 Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 18309120 Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: EXT4-fs warning (device sda1): ext4_end_bio:329: I/O error -5 writing to inode 921923 (offset 234881024 size 8388608 starting block 2288896) Jun 07 20:19:44 muchcrash02 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 2288384 ..

This relates to the VSS "Windows Server Backup" process that kicks off at midnight on the host and finishes an hour and half later. Yes, we do have hv_vss_daemon and hv_kvp_daemon running for the correct kernel version we have. We're currently running kernel version 3.13.0-49-generic #83 on one system and 3.16.0-34-generic #37 on the other. -- We see the same errors on both. As a result, we've been hesitant to drop any more ubuntu guests on our 2012R2 hyper-v system because of this. We can stop the backup process and all is good, but we need nightly backups to image all of our VM's. All the windows guests have no issues of course. We also have some CentOS based guests running without issues from what we've seen.
