How could I check if that's the case?
I tried to format the device with different block sizes, with no better 
result. And I also tried to OCFS2-format the DRBD underlying device to be 
sure it was not a hardware-related problem, and it mounts without any 
problem.

To sum-up my current setup:
/dev/drbd0 is defined as:
  on moby {
    device    /dev/drbd0;
    disk      /dev/md2;
    address   10.0.0.2:7788;
    flexible-meta-disk internal;
  }
/dev/md2 is a RAID0 MD device, 2.5TB in size, assembled from two ICP Vortex 
SATA-RAID cards [1] 

Even in (DRBD) disconnected mode, starting the OCFS2 cluster services and 
formatting the device does not allow to mount it.

The whole previous operation works flawlessly if applied on /dev/md2 rather 
than /dev/drbd0.
