Hi Shambhu-

I believe neither the ldiskfs nor ZFS OSDs support an active-active 
configuration (except in the sense that one can have multiple targets, some of 
which are active on one host and others on another).  It seems reasonable to 
me, only having used DRBD and Lustre independently of each other, that it would 
be possible to use DRBD in active-passive mode in place of shared storage for 
fail-over, but with inferior performance.  Clients would connect to whichever 
server is currently active for a particular target.

If instead what you're talking about is mounting a filesystem for simultaneous 
use on the DRBD hosts themselves, you're looking for a "shared-disk" clustered 
filesystem, not Lustre, which is a "distributed" clustered filesystem.
