Hi,

There's lots of recipes out there for HAST failover based on devd.

HAST also has the ability to run scripts on events, with the exec
function in hast.conf.

It *seems* it make more sense to have HAST mount filesystems and start
processes when it claims the master role for a resource, as opposed to
triggering that mount via a devd event and waiting for HAST to perform
the switch.

Thanks for any insight. I'm researching the "specialty filesystems"
book, and want to give the best advice.
