we have several deployments of storage clusters with xfs
up into the TB range, and did not see any problem.
if you have a primary drbd0, and you did not mount it, you should be
able to run xfs_repair on it.
you say "reoccuring". when, in what circumstances, how frequently etc.
if you ignore drbd for the moment while searching the web, you'll
find similar reports, where the problem disapeared by replacing bad
ram or bad disks, or by switching off the (not-battery-backed) write
cache of the storage subsystem.
one more wild guess: is the drbd module fitting the kernel exactly?
we recently had issues with a drbd module being compiled for a slightly
different kernel, aparently loadable without complaints, but binary
incompatible with the kernel it was loaded into. it should not be
possible at all to load a binary incompatible module, but ...
