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

quoting the example drbd.conf file

# NOTE that if you do not have some dedicated partition to use for
# the meta-data, you may use 'internal' meta-data.
#
#	THIS HOWEVER WILL DESTROY THE LAST 128M
#	OF THE LOWER LEVEL DEVICE.
#
# So you better make sure you shrink the filesystem by 128M FIRST!
# or by 132M just to be sure... :)

or, put in an other way:
 you do mkfs on /dev/drbd0,
 not on /some/lower/level/device

why? try to
 dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/fd0
 mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/wont_work
