Add a subsection for the "accept" parameter, as well as the

OST completely.

Differentiate between disabling an OST for space balancing reasons

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
