stratis file system creation failed bcuz log stripe unit is too large. mkfs.xfs: libxfs_device_zero write failed: no space left on device

Question

I am studying for RHCSA with the book by Asghar Ghori. I use virtualbox 7 and RHEL 9 on my macbook. Currently I am in Chapter 14 about Stratis and doing the exercise to create and confirm a pool and file system. But An error occurred and I cannot move forward.

Here are the steps and the error.

1. first confirm the disk availability

$ lsblk /dev/sdf
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sdf    8:80   0   1G  0 disk

2. create a pool and verify

$ sudo stratis pool create bookpool /dev/sdf
$ sudo stratis pool list
Name      Total / Used / Free               Properties    UUID                                  Alerts
bookpool  1 Gib / 5126.82 Mib / 507.18 Mib  ~Ca, ~Cr, Op  7fe605a5-8620-4c65-9cfl-326270784c78  WS001

3. display the block device used to form the pool

$ sudo stratis blockdev list bookpool
Pool Name   Device Node   Physical Size   Tier
bookpool    /dev/sdf             1 Gib    Data

so far so good. But here's the problem.

4. The fourth step should create a file system called bookfs in the bookpool and return no output. But I got an error instead.

$ sudo stratis filesystem create bookpool bookfs
Execution failed:
stratisd failed to perform the operation that you requested. It returned the following information 
via the D-Bus: ERROR: Command failed:  cmd: "/usr/sbin/mkfs.xfs" "-f" "-q" "/dev/dm-7" 
"-m" "uuid=26c8b46b-2a4b-44db-947d-e8fd89268fdc", exit reason: 1 stdout: stderr: log stripe unit 
(1048576 bytes) is too large (maximum is 256KiB) log stripe unit adjusted to 32Kib
mkfs.xfs: libxfs_device_zero write failed: No space left on device.
$

I searched the error message but no luck. Can anyone please help me out?

Answer 1

1. Increase the block device size as 2GB and proceed as usual
2. Run the filesystem command with --size option like the one below

   sudo stratis filesystem create --size 10GiB pool_name filesystem_name
