This problem can occur when an SDC sends a zero-write (a write I/O where the data payload is all zeros) to an SDS. The inflight checksum is enabled in the system. SDS disconnects from an MDM, then reconnect. The "exp.0" file shows the following panic string: 02/03 14:58:34.740139 Panic in file /data/builds/workspace/ScaleIO-Common-Job@2/src/tgt/ioh/ioh.c, line 2227, function ioh_PrepareDataAndChksmForWrite, PID 2648.Panic Expression !(((((*pReqFlags) & (0x8)) != 0) ?

When the inflight checksum is enabled in the system, SDCs calculate and attach a checksum to each write I/O. If a write request happens to be all-zeros, the checksum might not be calculated (invalid) which trigger an SDS panic - it expects a valid checksum for all writes, even an all-zeros write.
Disable the inflight checksum mechanism.
