    Description

      Background: 

      The business assumptions that most organizations deploy OCP to Cloud providers allowed for RHCOS to use a simple disk setup. bbreard reports that we are seeing significant bare-metal deployments where the assumption of a single root device is fallacious.

      Estimate (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL): XL

      Assumptions: 

      Bare-metal deployments can contain up to N devices

      • Users who deploy to bare-metal may do so in remote, detached environments where re-deployment of a failed node is difficult requiring more durable disk configurations.
      • Users have expressed a desire to deploy /var/lib/containers, /var, or the rpm-ostree to different devices.
      • RHCOS with 4.3 is only capable of encrypting the root device
      • Users have legitimate needs to change the rootfs type

      Acceptance Criteria:

      The feature is considered done when the following have been met:

      4.6 Phase

      • Users can deploy /var/, /var/lib/containers/, or the rpm-ostree rootfs to different devices

      4.7 Phase

      • Encryption is possible on all disk devices, not just root
      • RAID-1 is supported to add durability to nodes, including ability to boot from degraded rootfs mirror
      • Users can deploy arbitrary non-system paths (e.g. /my-user-directory) to different devices
      • Documented support for RAID 1, 5 for user-defined, non-system mount points.
