I just watched this video from DJ Ware. This is the first time I hear about Stratis.
I haven’t looked any further into it than just scrolling by the project’s Github page.
Please feel free to chime in and fill in the gaps!

Smells like from the dark side at my first sniff. One ring to rule them all. But then again, who am I to judge? To me, Fedora is one of the best “inventions” on the Linux market yet.
Guess I’m not smart enough to judge, nor to provide any insight on Stratis.

Stratis doesnt look to actually be a file system but a storage management system. Its like LVM but the underlying filesystem on the drive has to be XFS at the moment.
Its strange that he suggests it replacing XFS when it uses XFS as far as i can tell.
EDIT: Yeah according to red hat Stratis uses XFS https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/managing_storage_devices/setting-up-stratis-file-systems

I am waiting for it since the day Red Hat announced that they are working on stratis.
But stratis is not a filesystem. Stratis is more like a volume/device manager using XFS as the underlying filesystem. Stratis will eventually provide RAID functionality. I believe the goal for Red Hat is to make zfs or btrfs obsolete.
