Hi Danti,
The behavior you are experiencing is normal. As I pointed out previously, I've been using this setup for many years and I've seen the same thing. You will encounter that when the filesystem is written on the DRBD device without the use of a partition table.
As a side note, I've had some nasty stability issues with the DRBD version in the kernel (4.4/4.9 kernels) when running on ZFS, but DRBD 8.4.10 and ZFS 0.6.5.11 seem to be running great. I also run the storage as part of dom0, which many admins don't recommend, but generally it works alright. The stability issues were typically rare and happened under high I/O loads and were DRBD related deadlock type crashes. Again, those problems seem to be resolve in the latest DRBD 8 RELEASE.
