In other threads I've seen that kpartx -d /dev/mapper/data1-test should fix this, but for me it does not and that mapping stays there.

Did you solve your problem yet?
1) ls /dev/mapper
Are there any nodes which end with partition numbers there (i.e, 1, 2
etc.). These are the mappings.
2) Go to /etc/udev.
Look for multipath.rules, or a udev rule which looks similar to:
#
# multipath and multipath partitions nodes are created in /dev/mapper/
# this file should be installed in /etc/udev/rules.d
#
# take care of devmap partitioning
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="dm-*", \
PROGRAM="/sbin/dmsetup -j %M -m %m --noopencount --noheadings -c
-o name info", \
RUN+="/sbin/kpartx -a /dev/mapper/%c"
Try to comment it out, and reboot your machine. Does drbd start now?
It may be that by commenting it out you won't see i.e. your LVM anymore,
because it is also a mapping - in that case, add it manually (kpartx -a
...) - generally, it will depend on your setup.
