Time to get it started then!
Hi Christoph,
If someone else wants to work on this that would be great. I do not plan
to work on this because I do not expect that a SCSI zone append command
would be standardized by the time we need it. Although there are
references to T10 drafts in the UFS standard, since a few months JEDEC
strongly prefers to refer to finalized external standards in its own
standards. Hence, standardizing zoned storage for UFS would have to wait
until T10 has published a standard that supports a zone append command.
INCITS published ZBC-1 in 2016, two years after the first ZBC-1 draft
was uploaded to the T10 servers. INCITS approved ZBC-2 this month, six
years after the first ZBC-2 draft was uploaded to the T10 servers.
Because of the long time it takes to complete new versions of T10
standards we plan not to wait until T10 has standardized a zone append
operation.
Thanks,
Bart.
