Rename the VF_KERNELOP to VF_DISKCONFIG and checkkernel () to
checkdiskconfig (), which better describes their function.
Disable configuration updates if we have an error reading in the
configuration. This stops a "shoot-in-foot" problem where a mistake
can cause the configuration to be obliterated.
Tidy up some messages, which included superfluous \ns.
Recognize RAID-5 configuration information even in the non-RAID-5
version. This fixes shoot-in-foot problems where starting the wrong
version of vinum would kill RAID-5 plexes.
Recognize drives that have been referenced, but for which no physical
location is known. This is part of a modification which will
ultimately allow incrementally reading configurations. Such drives
will have a device name "unknown".
New function return_drive_space () returns space to a drive.
Previously this was part of free_sd ().
give_sd_to_drive: don't do it if the subdisk needs more space than the
drive has available.
config_sd: if reading config from disk, accept plex offset, drive
offset and length specs of -1 to indicate error conditions.
parse_config: return ENOENT if the "read" command doesn't find any
drives.
remove_sd_entry: don't do it, even by force, if it's open.
If the size of a striped or RAID-5 plex is not an integral multiple of
the stripe size, trim the size until it is.
reinstate update_volume_config, which had atrophied, to recalculate
the size of a volume if a plex has shrunk due to stripe size
considerations.
