No, of course not! It should not hang or crash!
Please, retry it and do it in this order:
1. Freshly boot the machine.
2. Start DRBD, (i.e. attach the /dev/drbd0 onto /dev/sda2
3. [optional] Start the peer node and start DRBD there,
wait until the two are connected.
4. drbdadm primary r0
4. mkfs -t ext3 /dev/drbd0
5. mount /dev/drbd0 /mnt/something
What I want to say here, do not access the backing storage directly:
no mkfs -t ext3 on /dev/sda2, do not mount /dev/sda2 !
