Description Dennis Keefe 2021-06-10 18:40:01 UTC
Request to include Stratis support to the installer.

Stratis 2.4.0 added support for Stratis filesystems as the root filesystem. 
A blog post describing the feature and how to use it can be found here: 
https://stratis-storage.github.io/stratis-rootfs/

Stratis 2.4.x is currently available in Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 34.
Packages names:
- stratisd
- stratis-cli

Comment 1 Dennis Keefe 2021-06-23 14:00:15 UTC
Adding a mention to Stratisd sub-package named stratisd-dracut.

Stratis 2.4.x is currently available in Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 34.
Packages names:
- stratisd
- stratisd-dracut
- stratis-cli

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 35 development cycle.
Changing version to 35.

Comment 3 ed leaver 2021-08-31 19:49:20 UTC
One hopes Anaconda stratis support can be implemented in a Fedora 34 re-spin. That, or a "dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=34" downgrade will work from a Fedora 35 fresh workstation install. Reason being iirc CentOS Stream 9 will be branched from Fedora 34. I have a large number of personal apps and third-party library dependencies compiled under 34; I'm hoping to avoid repeating the effort for Stream 9.

Comment 4 ed leaver 2021-08-31 20:06:39 UTC
I've tried copying (cp -a) a Fedora 34 ext4 root fs to a stratis filesystem, using a separate ext4 boot partition. With stratis* installed and stratisd enabled, I then ran dracut -a stratis to update the /boot/initramfs and tried to boot following the hints (and flags) at https://stratis-storage.github.io/stratis-rootfs/, but the boot failed with a "Failed to start D-Bus System Message Bus" error. The new initramfs boots the old ext4 root partition just fine.

ed leaver, I've moved your issue to a new bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2000247).
This bug will be used for tracking Stratis' inclusion in Anaconda.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '35'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2022-12-13 15:24:59 UTC
Fedora Linux 35 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-12-13.

Fedora Linux 35 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
