Considering the industry standard to run VM hosts from USB sticks/SD cards.

No it is not. Never has been. I've debated this back and forth with @scottalanmiller more than once.

Hopefully his recent post today clarifies that.

yep, it does.

I actually used XO to migrate the VM that XO was running on.

Now THAT was cool!

As to a two-sever pool, interestingly Ive been working with SC at HA-Lizard over the last few weeks and we've come up with a better way (I think) to support a two-server pool. I've done a lot of torture testing and think there will be a more robust implementation in the near future. I'm particularly interested in that we now have several two-server pools and there is no need to expand just for the sake of supporting HA. Stay tuned for more news on this! For HA to work, you'd still of course need shared pool storage.
