freebsd stable - Nov 2020 - HAST different disk sizes

Can HAST be run on partitions?  The documentation assumes that the drives 
being used are the same size and the examples only show the whole disk 
device (/dev/da0, for example).  In my case, the drives on each host are 
very different in size: 500GB and 1TB.  If HAST can be run on partitions, 
how are drives of different sizes handled?  It seems unlikely, in the real 
world, that drives are going to be the same size unless they are the same 
model from the same vendor.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong list.  freebsd-cluster seems to be dormant 
except for spam.

It works no problem on partitions. I?ve been running it for some time without
any issues on partitions between 2 sites on different L3 networks, sometimes
under heavy load.
