You haven't actually stated whether you want the backing devices distributed
or have the file system support more than one mount?

You likely don't need a cluster aware fs, if you need to access the data
in more than one place any of several file sharing methodologies will
work.

I suspect as your storage need is large, you need to distribute it across
more than one block device probably on several servers? DRBD is of no use
here.

Clarify what you're after...
