I doubt that drbd, nbd or enbd will help you here because they are just
distributed block devices on which you have to set a filesystem like
ext2.
But ext2 or any other common FS can only be mounted on one node (rw).
Sure, you can mount it one one node rw and on the other one ro - but
that other one will never see changes because of caching.

What you really need is something like NFS or GFS which can be mounted
rw on several nodes.
