Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


By a quick look of things i would say that you have put your metadata  
over your filesystem. They overlap.
You need to shrink it or put metadata to some other unused partition.
Seems the same problem as with previous topic on the list:
[DRBD-user] DRBD attempts to access beyond end of device
