At work we are testing them and so far it looks promissing, but we are wondering how it behaves under heavy load. Would like to use it for replicating Maildir directories at an ISP in real time. Originally we were looking for DRBD in FreeBSD (http://www.drbd.org) and searching for that we bumped into this other link which is how we found out about these geom capabilities http://phaq.phunsites.net/2006/08/11/realtime-file-system-replication-on-freebsd
