hmm ... what is that fence-peer script doing? If you want to use
resource-level fencing with the help of dopd, activate the
drbd-peer-outdater script in the line above ... and double check if the
path is correct

Where did you read that? No, deactivate the startup of DRBD on system
boot and let Pacemaker manage it completely.

This is really not needed.
