Description : cli interface to stratisd storage management service
Stratis is a storage management solution built on device-mapper and XFS,
featuring both volume management and snapshot capability.
Being a rather new solution stratis is not yet commonly used.
Version 1.0 was released late 2018. Quoting their announcement, it
"is ready for more widespread testing and evaluation by potential users".
At this point the package will be useful for evaluation and testing of Stratis outside
of RedHat systems. My personal motivation is that I am running Debian on a NAS,
and want to explore Stratis on it.
It is my believe that ultimately Stratis will be a much more user-friendly alternative to
LVM - and interesting from a technology standpoint.
Obviously the CLI client alone is not useful, instead my goal is to package both the daemon,
and the management application. However the client utility is integral to testing of the
daemon package, so it should be done first imo.
What I am looking for in the community is co-maintainers /-developers and a packaging team
to join for access to build infrastructure, as well as some assistance with the packaging
if I come across roadblocks.
