Hi, This patch serie adds support for explicit control of zone transitions. To test it, one can use an updated blkzone version that is available here: https://github.com/MatiasBjorling/util-linux.git zonemgmt blkzone can be compiled with: ./autogen.sh ./configure make blkzone After that, the binary is available in the compile directory.
