Hello, I would like to attend LSF/MM with the goal to participate in the discussion related to the OCSSDs - SMR, Hierarchical Interface, and Vector I/Os topic. I am implementing the flash-friendly file system for the host-managed SSD device model. When we started our project we haven't any restrictions on the model of interaction with SSD device. And we've used approaches in file system architecture that could be affected by this discussion. Finally, I would like to share my vision of distinction between host-aware and host-managed models of SSD device. I believe that it's really important to discuss the SMR-like zone model from the flash-friendly file systems point of view too. Thanks, Viacheslav Dubeyko. ---------------------------------------------------------- Viacheslav Dubeyko Principal Research Engineer Western Digital Corporation e.
