The single thing I think would be most useful in bringing FreeBSD up as a high availability cluster platform would be to repeat Simon's (proprietary, due to choices that were not his to make) work on integrating a distributed lock manager in PostgreSQL. I have the lock manager code (which I hope to integrate in FreeBSD when I get time to bug bde about what the problems he was handwaving about actually are), but not the PostgreSQL mods. After that comes integrating Ron Minnich' work on using /proc cross-cluster; after that again replacing the startup system and cron/inetd configuration system (which is really inconvenient if you want to do a full cluster with slightly different functions on the different nodes), and after that integrating MOSIX (re-implementing the parts we can't get the source to).
