We currently have our own solution to this, but it not a general solution.
We have taken a different tact and modified zfs, to handle node failures and
large numbers of simultaneous disk failures.

How big are the iSCSI target clusters you aiming at? If its not too large
you may be able to create a solution using cleverly placed raw iSCSI targets
and multiple RAIDz and mirrors but YMMV

How far did the OHAC / AVS get? What areas of the project needs work? Its
certainly an area I'm also interested in.

Happy Holidays,
