No. Do not bypass drbd.

either forget about the fsck.
if the warnings annoy you,
disable the mount count and mount time counters,
see tune2fs -c and -i (use on drbd0!)

or fsck the DRBD.
-> umount /shared, fsck drbd0, mount /shared.

as you say you use heartbeat in haresources mode,
that should be straight forward.

if you where in CRM mode, you'd need to set the target role of the
Filesystem to stopped temporarily, or set it to unmanaged.
