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

"strange".

What does "lsblk -D" and "lsblk -t" say?

Do you have a scratch volume you can play with?
As a datapoint, you try to "blkdiscard /dev/drbdX" it?

Something like that?
Any "easy" reproducer?
