The Storaged project provides a daemon, tools and libraries to access and manipulate disks, storage devices and technologies.
Storaged is a fork of UDisks2 and extends its DBus API; it is meant to be a drop-in replacement for the original project.
For API stability and intended audience of Storaged, see the API STABILITY and
AUDIENCE section of the udisks(8) man page (doc/man/udisks.xml in the
tarball and git repository).
See the COPYING file for the license. In a nutshell, the daemon and tools are licensed under the GPLv2 (or later) and libraries are licensed under LGPLv2 (or later).
Storaged has several dependencies listed in packaging/storaged.spec.
If you run rpm based distro, install the dependencies by:
# dnf builddep -y packaging/storaged.spec
To configure and install the Storaged, perform following tasks:
$ ./autogen.sh
Additional functionality of Storaged for monitoring and management is split into several modules: BCache, BTRFS, iSCSI, libStorageManagement, LVM2, LVM Cache and zRAM. By default, no additional module will be built.
To build Storaged with (a) chosen module(s), provide or leave these
configuration options for the configure script:
$ ./configure --enable-bcache --enable-btrfs --enable-iscsi
--enable-lsm --enable-lvm2 --enable-lvmcache
--enable-zram
It is possible to enable all the modules at once:
$ ./configure --enable-modules
The actual build and installation:
$ make
# make install
