The idea here is to have local ZFS pool(s) on each of the nodes. Then, in each local ZFS pool create ZFS volumes and use these for HAST. On the HAST device, I would again run ZFS, just without any redundancy. Just to avoid having to run fsck after switching roles. This should, I guess, permit safe use of cache and log devices for pools, thus increasing performance. However, no idea how reliability will be affected if sudden loss of one node happens, especially the active node. It seems I am going with setup1 for now, going live in about a week. Daniel
