This probably means there was a timeout on the replication channel,
interpreted by the backup as a failure of the primary, which caused it
to activate itself. You should see evidence of that in the remus
console logs and xend.log and daemon.log (for the disk side).

Once you've figured out where the timeout happened it'll be easier to
figure out why.
