They will of course offer it in their own distros, and that's it.

> "Stratis filesystems are formatted with XFS, but managed on behalf of the user"
NOPE. I just noped right out of Stratis. XFS is pretty horrible with larger disks. Fragmentation is a massive issue with modern heavy workloads and disk sizes. In past jobs we pretty much had to run defragmentation continuously or the XFS kernel driver would start erroring out about being unable to obtain massive blocks of contiguous memory.
Mix in xfs_fsr core dumping randomly and it was a horrible thing to manage. For some reason, older Ops guys advertise that XFS is superior, but all I see is a stable, but woefully outdated filesystem which can't keep up with modern disks.Last edited by kallisti5; 04 October 2018, 11:00 AM.

Back in the day, 1.0 was the VERY FIRST release you'd publish (except with Oracle of course, they start with 2.0 hahaha). Then some wise fella decided it's a good idea to converge to zero. Like we have some major libraries and applications that haven't reached 1.0 for a friggin' decade (NetworkManager, GStreamer, and so on). Heck, GStreamer's first release was called 0.0.0. Does that make any sense? No, it doesn't.
Stratis won't even be available in RHEL 8.0 I'd assume, they'll most likely release it in 8.1 at the soonest, even then only as a tech preview, after some dogfooding in Fedora.
And as someone else explained, Stratis is nothing else but some wrapper cr@p around existing building blocks. At least for now. So there's really not that much to test anyway.Last edited by anarki2; 04 October 2018, 03:42 PM.

EDIT: The point here being that there are a lot of ways to handle versioning, and some projects might have a philosophy on version numbers that makes perfect sense, if only you'd take the time to look at it.Last edited by Niarbeht; 05 October 2018, 01:40 PM.
