Thanks so much for your reply!

There is no directory by that name. There is only /var/lib/drbd, which contains...

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Jul 11 11:32 drbd-minor-0.lkbd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Jul 11 11:32 drbd-minor-1.lkbd

..and also /etc/drbd.d, which contains...

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  684 Jul 11 11:33 drbdctrl.res
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  541 Mar  8  2016 drbdctrl.res_template
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  211 Mar  8  2016 drbdmanage-resources.res
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2062 Mar 27 07:37 global_common.conf

That's what I thought, but I'm clearly missing something.
