The source is out there somewhere. AFAIK, it hasn't been touched in years.

It always was an offering. At one time Nexenta had it in their product, as a 
plugin called Simple-HA.
It was neither simple, nor HA. 

When SNDR was developed, the max disk size was rapidly approaching 9GB. Trying 
to use it for 1TB is 
very painful, and > 2TB is, IMNSHO, insane.

High-Availability.com has SmartOS support in their RSF-1 product. This is more 
of a traditional
failover HA solution. 

It is always better to implement high availability closer to the application. 
This is the approach
Joyent takes and it is, ultimately, the best solution.
