It sounds like you've got /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 mounted already
(assuming that's the device associated with /dev/drbd0). You have to
unmount it before you can create or use your DRBD volume. DRBD must have
exclusive access to the device otherwise Bad Things(tm) will happen.
# umount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
