DRBD is configured for "internal" meta data,
for some reason does some meta data IO, and realizes that someone
resized the backing device under it, without telling it to.

Should not do further harm.

On the box that is logging these asserts,
do a "drbdadm check-resize".

Preferably, you should follow a backend resize immediately
with a drbdadm check-resize (or resize).
