But this way I will get two independent zfs pools (or I still didn't get
it), one half of each will be stored on another machine. And I need
something different - a continuously replicated disk resource, that
would be available on both machines in case either will crash. Cluster
filesystem would be fine, but as far as I know there's no such thing on
FreeBSD, so I accept it will be unavailable on slave while mounted as
read-write on the master. HAST looks like a thing thats fits my
requirement, only that I wank it to be redundant inside each host too,
and all the documentation shows examples without local redundancy.

Thanks.
Eugene.
