I read even technical description and if I understand it correctly then you can do 99% of functionality with actual SW tools. I was thinking about situations when your HW will fail. With normal disk you can replace electronic part and you know your passwd for softraid or vnd so you can access your data again, but in this situation you can't do that. Disks are failing so who will recover data for me after failure? (if I'm so stupid that I haven't backups :-)). How about crypto part? A lot of companies interested, but they don't provide similar policy like this http://www.openbsd.org/crypto.html
