Error description

  • A server crash occurs if 'protect stgpool' or 'repair stgpool'
    are cancelled, and an error had been received when
    sending the data, in a timing window between starting to send
    the data and finishing to send the data.
    This error can be the cancel itself or another communications
    type error.
    
    It can be a manual cancel by an admin or an automated cancel due
    to maximum duration.
