nothing to do directly with drbd, but, since you are using xfs:
it supports "project quotas", see man xfs_quota, search for directory
tree quota.
(you maybe want to check for upgrades of your xfsprogs package)
man page is slightly confusing in the examples, though. basically, for
your setup on one single mountpoint, you'd have something like
/etc/projects
10:/mntpoint/home
11:/mntpoint/mysql
12:/mntpoint/basic
13:/mntpoint/smb
/etc/projid
home:10
mysql:11
basic:12
smb:13
mkfs.xfs /dev/drbdX
mount -o prjquota /dev/drbdX /mntpoint
mkdir /mntpoint/{home,mysql,basic,smb}
xfs_quota -x -c 'project -s home mysql basic smb' /mntpoint
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=20G home' /mntpoint
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=10G basic' /mntpoint
...
