+Introduction to Blivet
+======================
+
+Blivet is a python module for system storage configuration.
+
+The main thing that blivet offers is the ability to model a series of changes
+without necessarily commiting any of the changes to disk. You can schedule an
+arbitrarily large series of changes (called 'actions'), seeing the effects of
+each (within the :class:`~.devicetree.DeviceTree` instance) as it is scheduled.
+Nothing is written to disk, however, until you execute the actions.
+
+Building Blocks
+===============
+
+Individual block devices are represented by the various subclasses of
+:class:`~.devices.StorageDevice`, while the formatting of the data they contain
+is represented by the various subclasses of :class:`~.formats.DeviceFormat`.
+The hierarchy of devices is represented by :class:`~.devicetree.DeviceTree`.
+
+:class:`~.devices.DiskDevice`, :class:`~.devices.PartitionDevice`,
+:class:`~.devices.LVMLogicalVolumeDevice`, and
+:class:`~.devices.MDRaidArrayDevice` are some of the most important examples of
+:class:`~.devices.StorageDevice` subclasses.
+
+Some examples of :class:`~.formats.DeviceFormat` subclasses include
+:class:`~.formats.swap.SwapSpace`, :class:`~.formats.disklabel.DiskLabel`,
+and subclasses of :class:`~.formats.fs.FS` such as :class:`~.formats.fs.Ext4FS`
+and :class:`~.formats.fs.XFS`.
+
+Every :class:`~.devices.StorageDevice` instance has a :attr:`~.devices.StorageDevice.format` that contains an instance of some :class:`~.formats.DeviceFormat`
+subclass -- even if it is "blank" or "unformatted" (in which case it is an instance of :class:`~.formats.DeviceFormat` itself).
+
+Every :class:`~.formats.DeviceFormat` has a
+:attr:`~.formats.DeviceFormat.device` attribute that is a string representing
+the path to the device node for the block device containing the formatting.
+:class:`~.devices.StorageDevice` and :class:`~.formats.DeviceFormat` can
+represent either existent or non-existent devices and formatting.
+
+:class:`~.devices.StorageDevice` and :class:`~.formats.DeviceFormat` share a similar API, which consists of methods to control existing devices/formats
+(:meth:`~.devices.StorageDevice.setup`,
+:meth:`~.devices.StorageDevice.teardown`), methods to create or modify
+devices/formats (:meth:`~.devices.StorageDevice.create`,
+:meth:`~.devices.StorageDevice.destroy`, :meth:`~.devices.StorageDevice.resize`)
+, and attributes to store critical data
+(:attr:`~.devices.StorageDevice.status`, :attr:`~.devices.StorageDevice.exists`)
+. Some useful attributes of :class:`~.devices.StorageDevice` that are not found
+in :class:`~.formats.DeviceFormat` include
+:attr:`~.devices.Device.parents`, :attr:`~.devices.Device.isleaf`,
+:attr:`~.devices.Device.ancestors`, and :attr:`~.devices.StorageDevice.disks`.
+
+:class:`~.devicetree.DeviceTree` provides
+:attr:`~.devicetree.DeviceTree.devices` which is a list of
+:class:`~.devices.StorageDevice` instances representing the current state of the
+system as configured within blivet. It also provides some methods for looking up
+devices (:meth:`~.devicetree.DeviceTree.getDeviceByName`), for listing devices
+that build upon a device (:meth:`~.devicetree.DeviceTree.getDependentDevices`),
+and for listing direct descendants of a given device
+(:meth:`~.devicetree.DeviceTree.getChildren`).
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+First Steps
+-----------
+
+First, create an instance of the :class:`~.Blivet` class::
+
+    import blivet
+    b = blivet.Blivet()
+
+Next, scan the system's storage configuration and store it in the tree::
+
+    b.reset()
+
+Now, you can do some simple things like listing the devices::
+
+    for device in b.devices:
+        print device
+
+To make changes to the configuration you'll schedule actions, but
+:class:`~.Blivet` provides some convenience methods to hide the details. Here's an example of removing partition '/dev/sda3'::
+
+    sda3 = b.devicetree.getDeviceByName("sda3")
+    b.destroyDevice(sda3)   # schedules actions to destroy format and device
+
+At this point, the StorageDevice representing sda3 is no longer in the tree.
+That means you could allocate a new partition from the newly free space if you
+wanted to (via blivet, that is, since there is not actually any free space on
+the physical disk yet -- you haven't commited the changes). If you now ran the
+following line::
+
+    sda3 = b.devicetree.getDeviceByName("sda3")
+
+sda3 would be None since that device has been removed from the tree.
+
+When you are ready to commit your changes to disk, here's how::
+
+    b.doIt()
+
+That's it. Now you have actually removed /dev/sda3 from the disk.
+
+Here's an alternative approach that uses the lower-level
+:class:`~.devicetree.DeviceTree` class directly::
+
+    import blivet
+    dt = blivet.devicetree.DeviceTree()
+    dt.populate()
+    sda3 = dt.getDeviceByName("sda3")
+    action1 = ActionDestroyFormat(sda3)
+    action2 = ActionDestroyDevice(sda3)
+    dt.registerAction(action1)
+    dt.registerAction(action2)
+    dt.processActions()
+
+Here's the Blivet approach again for comparison::
+
+    import blivet
+    b = blivet.Blivet() # contains a DeviceTree instance
+    b.reset()   # calls DeviceTree.populate()
+    sda3 = b.devicetree.getDeviceByName("sda3")
+    b.destroyDevice(sda3)   # schedules actions to destroy format and device
+    b.doIt()    # calls DeviceTree.processActions()
+
+
+Scheduling a Series of Actions
+------------------------------
+
+Start out as before::
+
+    import blivet
+    b = blivet.Blivet()
+    b.reset()
+    sda3 = b.devicetree.getDeviceByName("sda3")
+
+Now we're going to wipe the existing formatting from sda3::
+
+    b.destroyFormat(sda3)
+
+Now let's assume sda3 is larger than 10GB and resize it to that size::
+
+    b.resizeDevice(sda3, 10000) # size is in MB
+
+And then let's create a new ext4 filesystem there::
+
+    new_fmt = blivet.formats.getFormat("ext4", device=sda3.path)
+    b.formatDevice(sda3, new_fmt)
+
+If you want to commit the whole set of changes in one shot, it's easy::
+
+    b.doIt()
+
+Now you can mount the new filesystem at the directory "/mnt/test"::
+
+    sda3.format.setup(mountpoint="/mnt/test")
+
+Once you're finished, unmount it as follows::
+
+    sda3.format.teardown()
+
+
+Disk Partitions
+---------------
+
+Disk partitions are a little bit tricky in that they require an extra step to
+actually allocate the partitions from free space on the disk(s). What that
+means is deciding exactly which sectors on which disk the new partition will
+occupy. Blivet offers some powerful means for deciding for you where to place
+the partitions, but it also allows you to specify an exact start and end
+sector on a specific disk if that's how you want to do it. Here's an example
+of letting Blivet handle the details of creating a partition of minimum size
+10GB on either sdb or sdc that is also growable to a maximum size of 20GB::
+
+    sdb = b.devicetree.getDeviceByName("sdb")
+    sdc = b.devicetree.getDeviceByName("sdc")
+    new_part = b.newPartition(size=10000, grow=True, maxsize=20000,
+                              parents=[sdb, sdc])
+    b.createDevice(new_part)
+    blivet.partitioning.doPartitioning(b)
+
+Now you could see where it ended up::
+
+    print("partition %s of size %dMiB on disk %s" % (new_part.name,
+                                                     new_part.size,
+                                                     new_part.disk.name))
+
+From here, everything is the same as it was in the first examples. All that's
+left is to execute the scheduled action::
+
+    b.doIt()    # or b.devicetree.processActions()
+
+Backing up, let's see how it looks if you want to specify the start and end
+sectors. If you specify a start sector you have to also specify a single disk
+from which to allocate the partition::
+
+    new_part = b.newPartition(start=2048, end=204802048, parents=[sdb])
+
+All the rest is the same as the previous partitioning example.
