stratis

Manage local storage pools and volumes using the Stratis storage manager. Stratis volumes use the XFS filesystem and require the stratisd service. More information: https://stratis-storage.github.io.

• Start the Stratis service (must be active before managing pools or volumes):

sudo systemctl start stratisd

• Create a storage pool from one or more devices:

sudo stratis pool create {{pool_name}} {{/dev/sdX}} {{/dev/sdY}}

• Create a filesystem (volume) in a pool:

sudo stratis filesystem create {{pool_name}} {{volume_name}}

• List all Stratis filesystems:

sudo stratis filesystem list

• Format and mount a Stratis volume manually:

sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/stratis/{{pool_name}}/{{volume_name}} && sudo mount /dev/stratis/{{pool_name}}/{{volume_name}} {{/mnt/target}}

• Add a volume to /etc/fstab for mounting at boot:

echo /dev/stratis/{{pool_name}}/{{volume_name}} {{/mnt/target}} xfs defaults,x-systemd.requires=stratisd.service 0 0 | sudo tee {{[-a|--append]}} /etc/fstab

• Extend an existing pool by adding a new device:

sudo stratis pool add-data {{pool_name}} {{/dev/sdZ}}

• Delete a volume:

sudo stratis filesystem destroy {{pool_name}} {{volume_name}}
