The backup machine is not connected to it's local storage device 
(/dev/sda5). Depending on when that happened, the backup node may not be 
UpToDate anymore, and thus, you may not have an actual backup of your data.

To start, try typing:

drbdadm attach r0

If the line changes to:

0: cs:WFConnection ro:Secondary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown

Then you can try promoting it to Primary with:

drbdadm primary r0

I suspect though that when it reconnects, it will be Inconsistent. At 
that point, you have trouble. Is the old primary beyond recovery?
