- Performance ;-D
- Two redundancy schemes: Replication and XOR n+1 (simplest case of EC)
- Multiple redundancy schemes: Replication, XOR n+1, Reed-Solomon erasure codes

- Automatic data distribution over OSDs, with support for:
- Mathematical optimization for better uniformity and less data movement

- Create global configuration in etcd: `etcdctl --endpoints=... put /vitastor/config/global '{"immediate_commit":"all"}'`
(if all your drives have capacitors).
- Create pool configuration in etcd: `etcdctl --endpoints=... put /vitastor/config/pools '{"1":{"name":"testpool","scheme":"replicated","pg_size":2,"pg_minsize":1,"pg_count":256,"failure_domain":"host"}}'`.
For jerasure pools the configuration should look like the following: `2:{"name":"ecpool","scheme":"jerasure","pg_size":4,"parity_chunks":2,"pg_minsize":2,"pg_count":256,"failure_domain":"host"}`.
- Calculate offsets for your drives with `node /usr/lib/vitastor/mon/simple-offsets.js --device /dev/sdX`.
- Make systemd units for your OSDs. Look at `/usr/lib/vitastor/mon/make-units.sh` for example.
