It is actually described in hammer manual page, hammer.8, see below.

There is also hint in HAMMER manual page, where we have a better description of slave PFS usage IMO.

But we could use a more complete description of HAMMER usage; you are welcome to write it.

	     You will not be able to access a slave
	     PFS until you have completed the first mirroring operation with
	     it as the target (its root directory will not exist until then).

     The /home/pfs/slave link is unusable for as long as no mirroring opera-
     tion has taken place.
