The best way to prevent split-brain situations is to have STONITH
devices set up with your cluster. That or quarom nodes.

I had a similar problem where split-brain would occur, something in
node 1 would fail and cause heartbeat to tell node2 to take over, but
drbd is still connected on a second LAN without problems. So node2
takes over but cannot take drbd resource for itself.  Thats when
STONITH helps, stonith will kill node1 (shut down the power) so that
node2 can successfuly take drbd resource.
