DevConf.US 2022 is the 5th annual, free, Red Hat sponsored technology conference for community project and professional contributors to Free and Open Source technologies coming to Boston this August!!
There have been a number of advancements in both storage and the Linux boot process in recent years. This talk aims to take a look at the process for fully supporting Stratis, a userspace volume manager, in early boot. While many newer Linux storage solutions are kernel based, our process for early boot support can provide some insight into design recommendations, usability considerations, and best practices for userspace volume management code in early boot. This talk will primarily focus on how best to abstract complexity in the boot process for storage solutions and provide simple, usable interfaces for projects aimed at user experience while designing a robust systems solution. The audience will gain understanding with how to integrate a device mapper stack and daemon in early boot using Stratis root filesystem support.
I am a software engineer in storage who enjoys working on low level systems problems and trying new programming languages. These days, I primarily gravitate towards working in Rust.
