OL 8 and BTRFS

Dude!Jun 2 2019 — edited Jun 2 2019

Hi,

Starting with RHEL 8, Red Hat no longer includes a driver for BTRFS and that the technology has been abandoned in favor of Red Hat's stratis, which I understand is a wrapper for LVM an XFS. Beside that this does not supersede BTRFS

What effect will this have on technologies like LXC and Docker? I've found the following on the web:

Note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) removes the Btrfs storage driver from their build of Docker, both on the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository and the version released for RHEL7. (https://www.thegeekdiary.com/how-to-configure-btrfs-as-the-storage-engine-in-docker/ )

I'm not sure about LXC with may also supports LVM, but I understand Docker from the OL7 optional repository relies on BTRFS.

Thanks.
