Hi,
I'm starting digging into FreeBSD and ZFS and came up with a question
which is bothering me.
I'm thinking about placing block device replication (e.g. via DRDB or
NDB) under a ZFS/ ZVOL. It would improve replication as it's done

sshfs is a file system that lets you mount a remote ftp dir on a
directory using fuse. I have it working fine on freebsd. Instead of
using the mount command to mount the fs, it's mounted by running the
sshfs command.
