oops.

you'll find in dmesg something like
 drbd0: unexpected md_size: 262144 (expected 524584)

as a workaround:
you have "meta-disk /dev/mapper/xeon2-vm01 [0]" in your config.
try "flexible-meta-disk /dev/mapper/xeon2-vm01" instead,
which is what we use now all along.
(and thus we did not notice that bug...)

sorry :-/
we'll fix that asap.
