since we know people are using it successfully since over a year in not
too small production environments, I'm very confident that whatever
weirdness you see is not drbds fault.
1. make sure you use at least 8K stack size in your kernel.
2. make sure you use a 2.6.12.4 or later kernel.
(the bio-clone data corruption issue)
3. make sure you use recent lvm and xfs and whatnot tools.

sorry, no time for that, right now...
but one thing is strange from a glance:
sometimes I see
> XFS mounting filesystem drbd1
^^^^^^^
then I see
> XFS mounting filesystem dm-5
^^^^^^
and I recommend to explicitly specify the file system type,
to avoid mounts guessing heuristics:
> FAT: Unrecognized mount option "usrquota" or missing value
cheers,
