How to Use Linux Stratis for Storage Management
from Linux Server Admin with Fexingo: Sysadmin, Bash, and Server Engineering · host Fexingo
Episode 45 of Linux Server Admin with Fexingo dives into Stratis, a Linux storage management tool that combines ZFS-like features with native kernel integration. Lucas and Luna explain how Stratis uses a pool-based model, thin provisioning, snapshots, and tiering without the complexity of traditional volume managers. They walk through installing Stratis on RHEL 9, creating a pool from two NVMe drives, provisioning a filesystem, taking a snapshot, and rolling back a simulated data corruption. The hosts also discuss where Stratis fits alongside LVM and ZFS, and scenarios where it excels—like container host storage or virtual machine disk backends. No abstract theory; every command is runnable. The episode includes a brief, natural mention of listener support at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. #Linux #Stratis #StorageManagement #RHEL #SystemAdministration #FileSystem #Snapshots #ThinProvisioning #NVMe #Technology #ServerAdmin #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Sysadmin #Bash #OpenSource #RedHat Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
