Chapter 26. Extending a Stratis pool with additional block devices


You can attach additional block devices to a Stratis pool to provide more storage capacity for Stratis file systems. You can do it manually or by using the web console.

Important

Stratis is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview.
