Stratis 3.8.2 Release Notes

mulhern, Stratis Team

Stratis 3.8.2, which consists of stratisd 3.8.2 and stratis-cli 3.8.2 adds a facility for maintaining keys of an encrypted pool.

stratisd now maintains an encrypted pool's volume key in the stratisd process keyring. The key is automatically loaded into the process keyring by stratisd when the pool is unlocked or when stratisd is started when an encrypted pool is already set up. The key is removed when stratisd exits or when the pool is destroyed or stopped. This ensures that when stratisd extends the pool, something that stratisd does automatically when it judges that circumstances require it, the extension of the pool's crypt device will not fail due to missing encryption information.

stratisd now supports a pool-level DBus property, VolumeKeyLoaded, which is:

• false if the pool is a V1 pool or not encrypted
• true if the pool is a V2 pool and encrypted and all is well
• an error message otherwise

If the pool is a V2 encrypted pool and the VolumeKeyLoaded property is not true, stratis-cli will display an alert in its pool listing.

Subsequent releases of stratisd were made to address the following:

• 3.8.3: Failure to build on a newly supported architecture due to an outdated libmount dependency.
• 3.8.4: Failure to build with a new version of systemd libraries due to bindgen-generated uncompilable test code.
• 3.8.5: Change to numbering of stratis dracut modules to conform to new dracut ordering requirements.
• 3.8.6: Failure to build introduced by Rust 1.90.0 due to redundant parentheses in a map closure.

The subsequent release of stratis-cli, stratis-cli 3.8.3, adds some man page entries omitted in stratis-cli 3.8.2.

Please consult the stratisd and stratis-cli changelogs for additional information about the release.
