you have several options.

the most easy one would be to go to the secondary,
and wipe the drbd meta data area.
if you use external meta-data, that is
  /etc/init.d/drbd stop
  dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 count=1 of=/dev/whatever-your-drbd-meta-data-device
  /etc/init.d/drbd start
and, on the primary, do "drbdadm connect all" again.
you'll see a Full Sync of the device then.

if you use internal meta-data, this is slightly more involved,
to get the offset right... if that is the case, please post again
with the output of "drbdadm dump", as well as "cat /proc/partitions".
