Arg. No. No way. AHCI will totally break with that because most AHCI adapters do not send commands to the drive in the order they are delivered to the LLD. In more details, the order in which tag bit in the AHCI ready register are set does not determine the order of command delivery to the disk. So if zone locking is removed, you constantly get unaligned write errors. > > Increase the number of retries for write commands sent to a sequential > zone to the maximum number of outstanding commands. > > Cc: Martin K.
