New features: - Implement QCOW2 image/snapshot export via qemu-img (bdrv_co_block_status in the driver) - Remove OSDs from PG history during `vitastor-cli rm-osd` to prevent `left_on_dead` PG states after deletion - Add a new recovery_pg_switch setting to mix all PGs during recovery, to almost fully reduce the probability of ENOSPC during rebalance - Introduce partial ENOSPC ("OSD is full") handling - now ENOSPC doesn't turn into cascades of crashes - Add migration support to Proxmox VE Vitastor driver - Track last_clean_pgs on a per-pool basis thus reducing data movement in a cluster with pools remaining unclean/degraded for a long time Bug fixes: - Fix a bug where monitor could generate degraded PGs if one of the hosts had no OSDs - Fix a bug where monitor could skip PG redistribution with a lot of OSDs in cluster - Report PG history synchronously on the first write, which improves PG consistency and availability at the same time, because history now gets reported correctly and doesn't get reported without the need for it - Fix possible write and recovery stalls which could happen in a cluster with both EC and replicated pools - Make OSD and monitors sanitize & deduplicate PG history items in etcd - Fix non-working OSD peer config safety check - Fix a rare journal flush stall where flushing wasn't activated with full journal, but with empty flush queue - Fix builds without ISA-L (jerasure-only) crashing with EC N+K, K>=2 due to the lack of 16-byte buffer alignment - Fix a possible crash for EC N+K, K>=2 when calculating a parity chunk with previous parity chunk missing - Fix a bug where vitastor-disk purge with suppressed warnings didn't work |

Vitastor
The Idea
Make Clustered Block Storage Fast Again.
Vitastor is a distributed block SDS, direct replacement of Ceph RBD and internal SDS's of public clouds. However, in contrast to them, Vitastor is fast and simple at the same time. The only thing is it's slightly young :-).
Vitastor is architecturally similar to Ceph which means strong consistency, primary-replication, symmetric clustering and automatic data distribution over any number of drives of any size with configurable redundancy (replication or erasure codes/XOR).
Vitastor targets SSD and SSD+HDD clusters with at least 10 Gbit/s network, supports TCP and RDMA and may achieve 4 KB read and write latency as low as ~0.1 ms with proper hardware which is ~10 times faster than other popular SDS's like Ceph or internal systems of public clouds.
Vitastor supports QEMU, NBD, NFS protocols, OpenStack, Proxmox, Kubernetes drivers. More drivers may be created easily.
Read more details below in the documentation.

Proxy Programs may be made public not only under the terms of the same license, but also under the terms of any GPL-Compatible Free Software License, as listed by the Free Software Foundation. This is a stricter copyleft license than the Affero GPL.
Please note that VNPL doesn't require you to open the code of proprietary software running inside a VM if it's not specially designed to be used with Vitastor.
Basically, you can't use the software in a proprietary environment to provide its functionality to users without opensourcing all intermediary components standing between the user and Vitastor or purchasing a commercial license from the author 😀.
Client libraries (cluster_client and so on) are dual-licensed under the same VNPL 1.1 and also GNU GPL 2.0 or later to allow for compatibility with GPLed software like QEMU and fio.
You can find the full text of VNPL-1.1 in the file VNPL-1.1.txt. GPL 2.0 is also included in this repository as GPL-2.0.txt.
