Networking and servers • Building a new pi cluster-ish

Bought a Pi5 with dual nvme hat.
I went to setup boot from nvme - somebody suggested to use zfs
had a bit of a look into it and was thinking what I want I think is

2 x pi5 with dual nvme hat with 2 x nvme drives - so pi5-a and pi5-b

then I can setup a vdev with 1 local disk and 1 attached disk in a mirror setup
so on pi5-a I can use nvme1.1 + iscsi from pi5-b
pi5-a nvme1.2 I can server up via iscsi to pi5-b

and
on pi5-b I can use nvme1.1 + iscsi from pi5-a
pi5-b nvme1.2 I can server up via iscsi to pi5-a

This way I can lose a nvme and also a whole pi5 .. lets say my dog eats pi5-a I still have a copy (mirror) of the zfs on pi5-b

Then as my final bit of backup wizardry I can sync up via google drive !

I've been in the corporate world too long haven't played with the new fun stuff in a while.(ZFS), I have done iscsi servers
