Additional Resources

In this lab, you're a sysadmin who needs to understand what Stratis is, and how it can be implemented, on your server systems for storage use. You'll install Stratis, prepare disks for use in a Stratis pool, create a pool and filesystem, and then mount and check function on that filesystem using stratis command line tools.

You'll then add more disk space into the Stratis pool, take a snapshot of the Stratis filesystem before deleting a file, and then restore the filesystem via mounting the snapshot.

Red Hat Exam Requirements Covered:

  • Manage layered storage.
  • Access a shell prompt and issue commands with correct syntax.
