This means that most of the "zonemode=zbd" support added to fio since version 3.9 apply to ZNS. Only a few minor modifications will be necessary to generically handle all devices due to some minor differences in the interface between SMR HDDs and ZNS SSDs (e.g. the addition of zone capacity). But nothing major. The current fio zbd support will work mostly as is. -- Damien Le Moal Western Digital Research
