All; Seagate is release the much requested device mapper shim for SMR. In response to requests at Linux Plumber's Conference, we've make it available as soon as possible. We've held off releasing it to ensure stability and to remove frustration and reduce bring-up time to other developers who have shown interest in exploring SMR solutions. We encourage testing and collaboration to make this a great product for the first generation of SMR drive support. Please reply to me directly for questions. location: https://github.com/Seagate/ZDM-Device-Mapper Adrian Palmer Firmware Engineer II R&D Firmware Seagate, Longmont Colorado 720-684-1307 adrian.palmer@xxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
