Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

You also have a cache on OS level. Perhaps some kind of delayed write ?

Di you tried to run :
# sync
on the copying node ?

You can also make a test with :
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/drbdvolume/testfile bs=1G count=1 oflag=direct

Of course, change /drbdvolume/ with mountpoint of your drbd device.
