Chris,
Thanks for you fast answers, it is working now.
I did the following:
drbd642:~# /etc/init.d/drbd stop
Stopping all DRBD resources.
drbd642:~# drbdadm create-md r0
Valid meta-data already in place, recreate new?
[need to type 'yes' to confirm] yes
Creating meta data...
initialising activity log
initialising bitmap (208844 KB)
100%
New drbd meta data block sucessfully created.
drbd642:~# /etc/init.d/drbd start
Starting DRBD resources: [ d0 s0 n0 ].
drbd642:~# drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary -o
drbd642:~# cat /proc/drbd
