I have quoted the relevant parts below and am going to interpret it for you: Your disk already contains a filesystem and uses the space up to the last bit. If you don't want to preserve the fs, copy some random stuff or zeros to the first couple of MB of the partition. If you want to preserve the data and just add redundancy, shrink the filesystem a bit to make room for drbd's internal meta data and then try the create-md again. Or learn about and use external meta-data.
