OK, this seems to work, the drbd devices are no longer
busy.
The strange part is that it alaso removes all but the
last mount from the current df and mount listings in
the host namespace. This has another nasty side
effect: when using the FileSystem ocf script with
heartbeat, it can no longer unmount any of the hidden
filesystems so I am back to the same point, unable to
failover gracefully.
I guess I could modify the FileSystem script to use
/proc/mounts instead of the mount command, but it
still seems wrong to not be able to see my filesystems
when I use df. Is there a better workaround / fix to
this namespace cleanup behavior?

Yes, sorry aptitude cut off the last 0.
