Take bonding out of the picture entirely for now. When dealing with 
problems, the first thing you do is take as many variables out of the 
equation you can.

If you are on 8.3.10, or 8.3.13, upgrade to 8.3.15. Perhaps your issue 
was resolved in an update.

With fencing, you would not have avoided the original problem, but you 
would have protected the setup from a split-brain and would still be 
operating, albeit in a degraded state.

8.3 to 8.4 was a massive jump. Stay in 8.3.x for now.

If you are needing to fix this immediately, then I would call Linbit and 
ask for (paid) support. They will fix this better than anyone else can. 
If you can't wait until Monday, Hastexo is available for (paid) support 
24/7. They are also extremely capable with DRBD and HA support.
