DRBD doesn't slip itself under anything. It sets up a new block device atop an existing block device. You can mount the filesystem contained in this new block device. *Or* you scratch that and instead mount the same file system as seen in the original block device. Thereby bypassing drbd and invalidating the replicant instantly.
