Ballast agent 1.0.1, the open-source component of Ballast.

What changed

  • Format a volume in place. A new job reformats a lettered volume and keeps its drive letter, alongside the existing whole-disk format.
  • Disk identity on volumes. The agent now reports, for each lettered volume, which physical disk backs it and whether that disk also carries the boot or system partition. StorageVolume gains DiskUniqueID and SharesDiskWithOS. A data volume carved from spare space on the OS's own disk (D: or I: on some hosts) can now be formatted safely, because the check is against the volume's own partition and not the whole disk.
  • Release version tag. The agent carries a marker so a release's version can be read from the compiled file. This is what lets the tooling that installs an agent binary identify which version it is holding.

Assets
