known bug in the config file parser that has been fixed in svn and will
be released with 8.0.1 soon.

it is the META data, that needs to be converted from v07 style to v8 style
meta data. your DATA will not be affected.

so you would need to say
drbdmeta /dev/drbd1 v08 /dev/sdb2 flex-internal create-md
and it should ask you whether you want to
convert the existing v07 meta data.
