Do you really need filesystem semantics or would ceph's object store work?
Yes, I really need file system semantics; I am storing home directories.
In that case, wouldn't it be simpler to have several separate DRBD pairs with the directory from the appropriate server automounted at login instead of consolidating them to the point where you have scaling issues?
And have you tried ceph's filesystem layer?
