- Implement automatic OSD activation via udev and simple on-disk superblock storage
- Add a new `vitastor-disk` tool and merge all disk-related functionality there.
Now it can prepare new OSD disks, upgrade plain old systemd units to the new scheme,
resize OSD data area, manage OSD services by disk paths, manage superblocks,
automatically check and disable disk cache, dump and write back journal and metadata.
- Add a documentation section about `vitastor-disk` (read it if you want details!)
- Install systemd services during package installation instead of the older method
of manually creating them via separate shell scripts
- Add a new `make-etcd` script that reuses /etc/vitastor/vitastor.conf to configure etcd
- Allow to configure block_size, bitmap_granularity and immediate_commit per-pool
- Fix "fatal error: tried to overwrite non-zero metadata entry" which was possible
in some cases after unclean OSD shutdown (caused by old metadata entries not being zeroed)
