Symptom & Impact

Stratis pool will not activate after reboot on CentOS Stream 10 disrupts services and slows incident response until the root cause is resolved.

Environment & Reproduction

Stratis filesystem remains unmounted because the stratisd service started before block devices were ready.

stratis pool list
stratis filesystem list
systemctl status stratisd

Root Cause Analysis

Misalignment between storage configuration and CentOS Stream 10 defaults causes the failure path described above.

Quick Triage

Confirm package state, service status, and recent changes before deeper diagnostics.

systemctl status
rpm -qa | grep -i 
journalctl -p err -b --no-pager | tail -100

Step-by-Step Diagnosis

Capture detailed logs, configuration deltas, and runtime state to isolate the failing component.

journalctl -u stratisd -n 200
stratis report
lsblk -f

Solution – Primary Fix

Apply the targeted configuration change and restart the relevant services to restore expected behavior.

sudo systemctl restart stratisd
sudo stratis pool start 
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Solution – Alternative Approaches

Replace Stratis with XFS-on-LVM when boot-time activation is critical.

Verification & Acceptance Criteria

Validate the fix with deterministic checks and ensure no regressions in dependent services.

stratis pool list
mount | grep stratis

Rollback Plan

Revert configuration and restart services to return to the previous known-good state.

stratis pool stop 
umount /mnt/

Prevention & Hardening

Add [email protected] to mount units depending on Stratis.
