With heartbeat-1.2.3 on Debian sarge I have something like:

node1  drbddisk::r0  Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/mnt/drbd0::ext3 
node2

where I understand the syntax to be

nodename resource resource ...
nodename

where the nodenames are as specified in your ha.cf

which means something along the lines that drbddisk::r0 and
the mounted filesystem of it Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/mnt/drbd0::ext3
are a resource group that must be failed over together, and 
the filsystem depends on the drbddisk.  If I continue to add resources
on that line then each added resource depends on the one to its left.

At standby from node1 to node2 heartbeat will do something like

node1# /etc/heartbeat/resource.d/Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/mnt/drbd0::ext3 stop
node1# /etc/heartbeat/resource.d/drbddisk::r0 stop
node2# /etc/heartbeat/resource.d/drbddisk::r0 start
node2# /etc/heartbeat/resource.d/Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/mnt/drbd0::ext3 start

so you can try out the steps you've specified very easily.
on the system I'm looking at the mountpoint is not an optional parameter.

those scripts in turn do something like

node1# umount /mnt/drbd0
node1# drbdadm secondary r0
node2# drbdadm primary r0
node2# mount /dev/drbd0 /mnt/drbd0

You can find out the details by reading them.

Hope this helps

Paddy
