I see you asked this question multiple times.
see, DRBD is _supposed_ to start in secondary mode.

thats why you need some kind of cluster manager.

I think most people on this list use heartbeat.
which allso manages other services, like failing over IPs,
mounting the shared file systems, starting the file/web/mail/whatever
daemons etc.
