HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.

cylinder groups that are created. When the filesystem is first created,
newfs always initialises the first two blocks of inodes, and then in the
UFS1 case will also initialise the remaining inode blocks. The changes in
growfs.c 1.23 broke the initialisation of all inodes, seemingly based on
this implementation detail in newfs(8). The result was that instead of
initialising all inodes, we would actually end up initialising all but the
first two blocks of inodes. If the filesystem was grown into empty
(all-zeros) space then the resulting filesystem was fine, however when
grown onto non-zeroed space the filesystem produced would appear to have
massive corruption on the first fsck after growing.
A test case for this problem can be found in the PR audit trail.
Fix this by once again initialising all inodes in the UFS1 case.

inodes by cutting back on the number of inodes per cylinder group if
necessary to stay under the limit. For a default (16K block) file
system, this limit begins to take effect for file systems above 32Tb.
This fix is in addition to -r203763 which corrected a problem in the
kernel that treated large inode numbers as negative rather than unsigned.
For a default (16K block) file system, this bug began to show up at a
file system size above about 16Tb.

Since the existing implementation searches ':' backward, a path which
includes ':' could not be mounted. You can now mount such path by
enclosing an IP address by '[]'.
Though we should change to search ':' forward, it will break
'ipv6addr:path' which is currently working. So, it still searches ':'
backward, at least for now.

Note that due to e.g. write throttling ('wdrain'), it can stall all the disk
I/O instead of just the device it's configured for. Using it for removable
media is therefore not a good idea.

Due to an issue with rc(8) in a test configuration, ifconfig was being
invoked with the address used again as the width - for example,
ifconfig vlan0 10.0.0.1/10.0.0.1
Prior to this change, that address/width would be interpreted as
10.0.0.1/10.
According to a comment, we cannot safely remove utmpx entries here
anymore. This is because the libc routines may block on file locking. In
an ideal world login(1) should just remove the entries, which is why I'm
disabling this code for now. If it turns out we get lots of stale
entries here, we should figure out a way to deal with that.
