Hmm. Wouldn't it sufficient to tie the number of available plugs to the
number of open zones? Of course that doesn't help for drives not reporting that, but otherwise?
I have the same question. I think the number of zoned opened by filesystems
like BTRFS and F2FS is much smaller than the total number of zoned supported
by zoned drives.
Thanks,
