Is there any work being done on iSCSI for FreeBSD? And more importantly, we need both frontend AND backend for this to work. I'm no fan of vinum myself but combined with iSCSI it could pose a solution. I actually once HAD vinum doing network RAID. It's an awful hack and not of any practical use, but enough for proof of concept: Mount foreign filesystem over NFS. Use vn(4) and vnconfig to create a FS backed "partition", use disklabel to assign the correct partition type to it and you're set. It's just horrible unstable, slow and prone to error.
