You need to setup DRBD again (at least on one side) so that it uses the 
same backing device as before (ie: /dev/md1). Once the DRBD resource is 
up (cat /proc/drbd -> Primary and UpToDate). This will recreate the 
/dev/drbd1 device which you can then mount as you did before.
If you want more specific help, you will need to provide the details of 
your setup.
