There is an alternatives like Ceph[1], but it is just too new (and potentially can have some edge cases). DRBD + GFS/OCFS2 just seem too complex for such setup. Other than that, I use glusterfs in several setups, and I don't have any dramatic performance problems with it (still slower than bare metal of course) - will depend on workload and expected performance of course.
