It doesn't currently.

I'm not 100% sold on the idea of TP. Look at it this way: if you're
spending upwards of $250K on an entry level NAS/SAN from the big boys,
where cost/GB is essentially dictated by their comittment to
shareholders rather than determined by market forces, then TP makes a
lot of sense because you don't want to waste dollars on provisioning
expensive storage upfront. OTOH, when you consider that a 1TB drive
today costs as little as $220 -- well, if you use a solution like
Openfiler, you can more than afford to give every single application its
own dedicated 1TB mirrored volume without breaking the bank or worrying
about capacity draw.

Having said that, I think TP would be a nice feature for us to bullet in
our feature list ;).
