	I don't know if DRBD [1] is a good implementation (Linux only), but it
	works flawlessly, replication is fast (i got ~35MB/s) and it's quite
	simple to get it working.

	ENBD [2] isn't based on the same concept, it "exports" block devices
	through	network via userland application, though it needs a kernel
	module for client side.

	I'd like something like DRBD exists for FreeBSD but I'm not aware of
	such an implementation.
