We have 3.13.0-34.60 already running for about 22hours straight, no problems yet, as well as dfbdac2e, which also runs fine for now.
I'll just keep it running for a few days
Also, unfortunately, our result for 5e6cf71 might be invalid because the test machine ran out of disk space on the host because of excessive snapshot disks piling up. I had to add a delay of a couple of minutes after each backup to prevent this from happening, this caused basically the same error (kernel error message, readonly remount, disk i/o hang) as the real crash
So if things are stable with those two versions I will rerun 5e6cf71 and 83215219 to make sure the result can be trusted
You already tested a kernel with 6ad4874 reverted, right? Are we sure this is not the culprit?

@emsi
We experienced that too, but weirdly trying to crash it by creating snapshots in a loop only caused one crash on one machine and wasnt reproducible any more

Bug description:
  Customers have reported running various versions of Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  on Generation 2 Hyper-V Hosts.    On a random Basis, the file system
  will be mounted Read-Only due to a "disk error" (which really isn't
  the case here).    As a result, they must reboot the Ubuntu guest to
  get the file system to mount RW again.

  The Error seen are the following:
  Apr 30 00:02:01 balticnetworkstraining kernel: [640153.968142] storvsc: Sense Key : Unit Attention [current]

  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.
