-# Ohai Release Notes:
-
-### Virtualization
-
-Chained virtualization systems, such as containers running on virtual machines, can now be tracked in
-node[:virtualization][:systems]. This is in addition to the former system under node[:virtualization][:role] and
-node[:virtualization][:system]. For example, a node could have all of these attributes at once:
-
-```
-node[:virtualization][:system] = "vmware"
-node[:virtualization][:role] = "guest"
-node[:virtualization][:systems][:lxc] = "host"
-node[:virtualization][:systems][:vmware] = "guest"
-```
-
-Due to the requirements for being an LXC host being easily fulfilled, we only
-populate the old system (role & system) with LXC if there are no other virtualization systems detected.
-
-
-### Filesystem2
-
-There is a new plugin for filesystems in Linux & Darwin. It solves several
-problems:
-* Can handle multiple virtual FSes with the same "device" (eg, 'none')
-* Can handle a device mounted multiple places
-* Is resilient to mtab being a symlink to /proc/mounts
-* Provides multiple views for ease of use
-* Provides a mechanism that has guaranteed lack of overwritten data
-* Forks far fewer times than it's predecessor
-
-Unlike the 'filesystem' plugin, it provides 3 views into the data:
-
-* `by_pair` is the primary one and what most users are expected to use. It
- guarantees no loss of data from conflict and has an entry in the hash for each
- pair of $device,$mountpoint (or "$device," for unmounted devices).
-* `by_device` a similar layout to the original filesystem plugin which is
- indexed by device, except that 'mount' entry is now 'mounts' and is an array.
- While this solves many of the problems users can encounter by having /etc/mtab
- be a symlink to /proc/mounts it can still have data loss due to different
- mount options, or multiple virtualfs mounts with the same fake device name.
-* `by_mount` similar to the above but indexed by mountpoint. Won't include
- unmounted filesystems, of course. Instead of a 'device' entry it has a
- 'devices' entry that is an array. Similar to the 'by_device' view, this extra
- feature can solve many problems of of the old filesystem plugin, but may still
- have data loss on things like mount options.
-
-It is recommended to always use `by_pair` when iterating or wanting a full view
-of storage devices. The other two are provided for convenient lookup. Other
-notes:
-
-* The `by_mount` view handles conflicts in a last-wins manner. Other than that,
- fields should be the same except for the lack of a "mount" key inside entries
- (since that's the key to the structure)
-* The `by_device` mount changes the structure slightly to replace 'mount' key in
- each structure with 'mounts' - an array of mountpoints instead of overwriting
- values. For other conflicts last one wins. 'devices' is not a key inside
- entries since it's the key to the structure.
-
-### Miscellaneous
-
-* Ohai now collects mdadm RAID information.
-* Ohai know uses lsblk, if available, instead of blkid
-* linux::filesystem now reads all of /proc/mounts instead of just 4K
-* linux::network now handles ECMP routes
