Re-implement RAID0/MergeFS in storagenode

So, even more points of failure…
You may do so by the way, at least for docker nodes or symlinks may work. However, you may end like this:

Just because

In summary - the node checks availability, writeability and readability only in the storage subfolder (or the folder where all blobs, trash, etc. are located).
If you would use junctions/symlinks/docker mount for every satellite to the own HDD, the node will not detect, that one of the “subfolders” are now disconnected. As a result - the blazing fast disqualification (several hours).

So, the current solution for this weird request is to spin-up 4 nodes, each has trusted only the one satellite with an own HDD. I clearly do not understand why you need it like this, but well. It’s possible right now without risking to be disqualified when your symlinks are going down.
