Optimizing Storage Usage
In the previous chapter, during the installation of the OS, we mentioned the importance of the local storage configuration. Local storage resource optimization is vital to the well-being of the system. It is time to review basic storage management concepts that help with optimization, such as the format, filesystem, and sizing, as well as management tools such as logical volumes and Stratis.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Understanding file formats and filesystems
- Optimizing storage space size
- Deep diving into Logical Volume Manager
- Discovering Stratis storage
Let’s get started!
