i'm a little confused by the concerns re: partitioning.  most of
what you're designing is a fast block mirroring protocol.  seems
like any notion of blocks being in the right partition would
be fairly external to the design, and the wish that "partitions
could be resized on the fly" seems to be particularly unrelated
to the low-level machinery at the core.

(i guess i probably wouldn't have said anything if the partition-related
comments had been in a separate section.)
