Stratis – local storage management

Stratis is a tool to easily configure pools and filesystems with enhanced storage functionality that works within the existing Linux storage management stack.

To achieve this, Stratis prioritizes a straightforward command-line experience, a rich API, and a fully automated approach to storage management. It builds upon elements of the existing storage stack as much as possible. Specifically, Stratis uses device-mapper, LUKS, XFS, and Clevis. Stratis may also incorporate additional technologies in the future.

Stratis can configure an encrypted or unencrypted pool of storage with one or more file systems quickly and without prior knowledge of the many storage layers and commands.

Linux has a number of storage technologies that provide advanced functionality to applications for accessing and storing data. Examples of some of these products that Stratis uses are:

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

Learning and gaining experience in a number of different storage technologies can take many years. Each of those technologies may have their own unique command-line syntax, APIs, options, and logging. Stratis simplifies volume and filesystem management by providing a single CLI and API for users to set up complex storage stacks without having to spend time learning each independent storage technology.

This is free and open source software.
