So I'm in the process of building a ZFS based SAN. After toying with it at

I'm wondering what the possibilities of two-way replication are for a ZFS

The scenario - the ZFS SAN will

these are partitions and not entire disks (disks are, from what I have read,
apparently the preferred unit of storage for zfs).

I believe this is something that needs to be supported in the kernel. it would
be nice to have, currently Linux and (newer) BSD versions support it. On one
