[DRBD-user] Full DRDB device on LVM is now unusable

My DRDB device on LVM filled up with data and now it is unusable after a power cycle.

I configured two DRDB nodes running Openfiler with corosync and pacemaker as per the instructions here [http://www.howtoforge.com/openfiler-2.99-active-passive-with-corosync-pacemaker-and-drbd] over two years ago.  At one point it swapped over to what was originally the secondary node "Openfiler2" and I left it like that and all was fine (AFAIK).  (I did have a few issues in the early days with it losing sync on reboot / power failure, but that's ancient history.)  Eventually the DRBD data partition filled up as there are processes that ftp files onto it.  There were lots of proftpd processes that were stuck trying to do a CWD into the data partition and therefore the cpu 'load' went really high.  I tried to start a process to delete old files and it got stuck.  It wasn't doing anything, and I couldn't cancel or kill it.  kill -9 <pid> did not work on that process or any of the stuck proftpd processes.  So I could not unmount the drive and when I tried fuser it just killed my ssh session and failed to kill the proftpd processes.  I restarted sshd via the console, and, as there had been some kernel panics I decided to reboot, hardly expecting it to succeed.  It didn't - it got stuck and I had to kill the virtual power.  When it came back up it could not mount the DRBD data partition (that uses LVM).  Both the DRBD partitions were synchronized before and after the reboot - they reconnected and the primary stayed on 'Openfiler2'.

The first errors after the reboot were in here:

I tried to mount it manually but the device is missing.  Any suggestions on how I can get this volume mounted?  Thanks!

My last line of /etc/fstab is commented out as it is controlled by pacemaker:

Right now I have:

I intentially stopped proftpd (ftp) via the Linux Cluster Management Console 1.5.14 so that I didn't get more proftpd processes starting up if you are wondering why it says stopped above.

Many thanks and regards,
