U could try to access the ggate disk via localhost and from the remote host (I
think that ggate allows multiple hosts to access it _via_ggate_).

I would like to know, how u plan to do serialization/synchronization/locking...

I mean: What if both hosts update the same sector?
host A updates his local disk
host B updates his local disk
host B updates host A's local disk
host A updates host B's local disk
Then the mirror would be not in sync...

Furthermore a file system like UFS does not like multiple read/write mounts (as
far as I know)...

Maybe AFS or arla/coda6_server/coda6_client from ports/net or so is more what u
want?
