You could also use pacemaker to manage promoting the drbd device and mounting it with a dead master role as a dependency. Are you using anything to automatically promote the send slave already?
That is a DRBD master role, not dead master. Good ol' auto correct.

If you manage your server with something like Puppet, you could configure it to ensure the file system is mounted. Or use cron to check periodically.
