Never, EVER, modify the underlying data.
If you are going to insist on doing that, then you must know what you
are doing, and shouldn't be asking about it here.
If you really want to do this, then you might end up with a totally
broken system (as you have discovered). You *might* be lucky and get a
working system by
1) discard the "other" data
2) make sure the modified copy is started as primary, and then do a
verify and resync to properly bring the secondary up to date, and
remember that it contains invalid data until the resync is completed.
You would have to ignore the status from DRBD, you have lied to DRBD, so
it will lie to you.
What you *should* do:
1) Switch primary
2) Mount the new primary
3) Make changes as needed
4) Switch primary
5) Mount and check
