the xfs_info is read from the super block, which is located at the very
start of the device, and has been mirrored by drbd, so it is identical.
obviously.

if I just take this line,
this is 8*384008192 == 3072065536 sectors.
this is clearly _the_same_ as [A],
but clearly larger than [B] and
therefore beyond end of device (after connect).

                  [A] ^^^^^^^^^^        ^^^^^^^^^^ [B]

you want to compare
 # cat /proc/partitions
 # lvs --units s
 # dmsetup table
