LUDOC-305 maintenance: handling full/failed OSTs
Improve documentation related to handling full or failing OSTs.
Describe the "osp.*.max_create_count" parameter, and using it to
disable object creation on an OST, rather than deactivating the
OST completely.
Differentiate between disabling an OST for space balancing reasons
and a failing OST. Add references to QOS space balancing and also
degraded mode for OSTs.
Use "lctl set_param osp.*.active=0" to deactivate the OST rather
than "lctl deactivate", since that is easier for users and they
are functionally equivalent.
Describe the use of "mkfs.lustre --replace" to replace failed OSTs,
rather than the need to backup/restore/binary edit OST config files.
Use proper names for affected sections and cross references, so
that the auto-generated URLs for these sections are useful.
Line-wrap modified sections of text.
