I thought the OP wanted to make the data available over 50 nodes! DRBD can only have two simultaneous primaries. Maybe I misread the original intention. Unless there's shared storage, the best way would be to set up an NFS or SMB cluster. What sort of data is this anyway? What size? What usage pattern? Also - do you have gigabit network or are you still on 100Mbit?
