What was confusing me was the second > line. Why does it show a second device? Why not? It shows all minors it can handle. Currently you have one configured, and one unconfigured drbd device.

If I set up drbd > first then try to create the LVM on top, pvcreate says: if you want LVM on top of drbd, you need to use LVM2 because of inherent limitations of lvm v1. search for LVM2 on top of drbd in google, or on http://search.gmane.org , group drbd. there should be a link in the faq, too, but I am not too sure about this.
