Good choice.

Activate the DRBD service again. Examine the contents of the device
using "file -sL /dev/drbd0" (should recognize the gfs2?).
I believe that if you want to get data back, you may want to run some
sort of fsck against drbd0.

Speaking of cluster file systems - is this a dual-primary setup? Is the
"good node" Primary?
In this case, you will most likely face split brain either way, so
syncing back up won't be easy. It may then be your best shot (and most
simple solution) to heal your "good node" (find out what's blocking it)
and use that as sync source.

On the "good node", could it be that the dlm is biting you since the
peer node is in trouble?

HTH,
