Discovering Stratis storage

Stratis is a command-line tool designed to simplify storage management. It uses a hybrid approach with both user-space and kernel components, based on existing block device managers, such as device mapper, and existing filesystems such as XFS.

Here’s what you can do with Stratis:

• Create, modify, and destroy storage pools
• Allocate and detach filesystems from storage pools
• Encrypt and decrypt filesystem data

Stratis storage brings together common storage management tools and automates them for ease of use. Here are some things it uses:

• device-mapper – A framework for logical to physical mapping of data blocks
• LUKS – An on-disk format for encryption that can securely manage multiple passwords
• XFS – A scalable, journaling, and performant filesystem
• Clevis – A framework for automated decryption

Here are the Stratis components:

• Blockdev – Block devices, either...
