Using raw zoned disks by filesystems requires special handling, only f2fs currently supports this. All other filesystems do not support dealing with zoned disks directly. As such using raw zoned disks is not supported by e2fsprogs, to use them you need to use dm-zoned-tools, format them with dzadm, set the scheduler to deadline, and then setup a dmsetup with zoned type, and somehow set this up on every boot to live a semi-happy life for now. Even if you use dmsetup on every boot, the zoned disk is still exposed, and a user may still think they have to run mkfs.ext[234] on it instead of the /dev/mapper/ disk, and then mount it by mistake. In either case you may seem to believe your disk works and only eventually end up with alignmet issues and perhaps lose you data. For instance the below was observed with XFS but its expected ext[234] users would see the same: [10869.959501] device-mapper: zoned reclaim: (sda): Align zone 865 wp 28349 to 30842 (wp+2493) blocks failed -5 [10870.014488] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [10870.016137] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] [10870.017696] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Add. Sense: Unaligned write command We have to prevent these mistakes by avoiding mkfs use on zoned disks. Note that this not enough yet, if users are on old AHCI controllers, the disks may not be detected as zoned. More work through udev may be required to detect this situation old old parent PCI IDs for zoned disks, and then prevent their use somehow. If you are stuck on using ext[234] there a udev rule out there [0], this is far from perfect, and not fully what we want done upstream on Linux distributions long term but it should at least help developers for now enjoy their shiny big fat zoned disks with ext[234]. This check should help avoid having folks shoot themselves in the foot for now with zoned disks. If you make the mistake to use mkfs.ext4 on a zoned disk, you will now get: # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda mke2fs 1.44.2 (14-May-2018) /dev/sda: zoned disk detected, refer to dm-zoned-tools for how to use while setting up superblock [0] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180614001147.1545-1-mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@xxxxxxx> Cc: Bart Van Assche <Bart.VanAssche@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Luis R.
