in drbd 8, this has been renamed,
since people not always know what they are saying...

what you need to do is 
drbdadm  --  --overwrite-data-of-peer primary all
         ^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
note the extra "--" in front of the plain english long option.

in case you have existing data in that partition, you should obviously
give this on the node with the good data.
you should normally give this extra option exactly _one_ time in the
lifetime of one drbd device (the first time you make it primary).
unless you have to recover from some deasaster, maybe.
