• updated storage volume create dialog to include storage pool RAID level info
• updated QuantaStor kernel to be based off 2.6.35 to resolve ENOSPC edge conditions with Advanced storage pool type
• minor fix to storage pool diagram colors to improve contrast
• improved quantastor shutdown logic to bring down storage pools more cleanly
• updated storage pool partitioning logic to align storage pools to physical disk cylinder boundaries
