== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
Stratis symlinks have moved. Existing symlinks in /stratis/<pool
name>/<filesystem name> will need to be migrated to
/dev/stratis/<pool name>/<filesystem name>. This is accomplished by
running the migration script (stratis_migrate_symlinks.sh) that comes
with the
2.2.0 release of Stratis or rebooting the system. Any configurations
that make use of the old symlink locations will
need to be updated to use the new location. So, if there has been
manual changes to systemd unit files or /etc/fstab
for automatically mounting Stratis filesystems, then these will need
to be updated to reflect the change.
How large is the risk that systems that were using the old /stratis/foo
paths will fail to mount the filesystems, and possibly fail to boot, after
the upgrade? (Sorry, I have never used stratis, so I don't know how often
those migration steps would be necessary.)
Shouldn't /startis symlink be created for compatibility on *upgrades* ?
