you tell it to sync after drbd1 (--after=1,
syncer { after "mysql" } in your drbd.conf file).
only that does not (yet) exist.
so, it is "invalid" - at that point in time.

and, please, all of you:
if posting drbd.conf files,

best post the output of drbdadm dump.

or, at least, pre-process them by

sed -e '/^[[:space:]]*#/d;/[^[:space:]]/!d' < /dev/drbd.conf

I know all those boring comments.
I wrote most of them myself ;)
