is it possible to mount a vinum-fs on 2 hosts?

[Michael Grant]

I would love to see a cluster capable filesystem for freebsd.  

I do not know if this will help your situation but I have seen people
mount the file system read/write on Host A and then mount the file
system from Host A via NFS on Host B.  This allows B to write to the
file system using A.
