So your hosts are vms?

.. because they all access _one common_ blockdevice passed through by
kvm? Two of them play drbd with this device while the others do not?

Why?

Just dd if=/dev/zero of=/MOUNTPOINT_GFS/10GB bs=1M count=10000

And add this as a Lun to e.g. IET

We should get more clearness about what you need - what is your goal?

Do you want to access a Filesystem from all this hosts?
        Well known NFS with or GFS/OCFS2 on DRBD with iSCSI, AoE or FCoE
        could be a Solution...

Or do you want to Share your _Raw Storage_?
iSCSI, AoE, FCoE on LVM on top of DRBD would be nice...
