If you mean that I should distribute the HAST one-disk device via iSCSI
and then use it as a half of zfs mirrored pool on each node, then I
should ask how the pool will decide which half is more recent - local or
iSCSI, after I will import it and the kernel will found that it's vdevs
differs a lot ? And why should I prefere this overcomplicated scheme
over the geom_mirror, which seems rather simple when comparing. Seems
like I can point HAST to /dev/mirror/whatever device, right ?

Thanks.
Eugene.
