I have been getting the same problem.  Fresh install from Proxmox 4.2 DRBD9.  I get the dreaded DBus error.   I can't get the secondary to work at all the DBUS errors on everything using dbus.   Been waiting for a resolution for a long time from DRBD9 developers.   I think they just gave up.   DRBD9 is not ready for use yet.   I suggest you move to ceph.   I am working on doing that as well.   Proxmox decided to rip out the stable DRBD 8.x version to put in 9.  I got it working once and after a reboot it never worked again. 

So I wouldn't put DRBD9 into anything critical. I even had their DRBD9 staff try to resolve it.   Glad I didn't have it in production.
