Hello, The Open Channel SSD - SMR, Hierarchical Interface LSF topic proposed by Matias led to a long and interesting discussion on the list. I think this is a worthy topic to discuss directly at LSF in order to steer development of the zoned block device interface in the right direction to make it useful to more use cases beyond SMR disks. Considering the relation and implication of this topic to ZBC/ZAC support, I would like to attend LSF/MM to participate in this discussion. Thank you.
