Probably nothing.
We have had a serious bug in drbdmeta.
Quoting the commit message
4413afe drbdmeta: fix data corruption during offline resize
Regression introduced in 8.4.3, still present in 8.4.4.
When offline resizing internal meta data, drbdmeta forgot to
properly re-initialize the new meta data offsets in time,
and would move the old meta data into the existing data area,
starting with offset 0 instead, thereby corrupting the first part
of the data, up to the size of the old bitmap area.
(embeded disk image partition table, file system super block,
top level directory, all gone!)
