21.4. Creating an unencrypted Stratis pool

You can create an unencrypted Stratis pool from one or more block devices.

Prerequisites

Stratis is installed and the stratisd service is running. For more information, see Installing Stratis.
The block device on which you are creating a Stratis pool is not in use, unmounted, and is at least 1 GB in space.
On the IBM Z architecture, the /dev/dasd* block devices must be partitioned. Use the partition device for creating the Stratis pool.
For information about partitioning DASD devices, see Configuring a Linux instance on 64-bit IBM Z.

注意

You can only encrypt a Stratis pool during creation, and not later.

Procedure

Erase any file system, partition table, or RAID signatures that exist on each block device that you want to use in the Stratis pool:
```
# wipefs --all block-device
```
The block-device value is the path to the block device; for example, /dev/sdb.
Create the new unencrypted Stratis pool on the selected block device:
```
# stratis pool create my-pool block-device
```
The block-device value is the path to an empty or wiped block device.
You can also specify multiple block devices on a single line by using the following command:
```
# stratis pool create my-pool block-device-1 block-device-2
```
