Agreed, contrary to conventional storage devices, with the zone storage ecosystem we simply have a requirement of zone drive replacements matching zone size. That requirement exists for po2 or npo2. The work in this patch set proves that supporting npo2 was in the end straight forward. As the one putting together the BoF I can say that there were no sticking points raised to move forward with this when the topic came up. So I am very surprised to hear about any other perceived conclusion. Luis -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
