[$] Filesystems for zoned block devices
Tuesday May 21, 2019. 02:46 AM , from LWN.net
Damien Le Moal and Naohiro Aota led a combined storage and filesystem
session at the 2019 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and Memory-Management Summit (LSFMM) on filesystem work that has been done for zoned block devices. These devices have multiple zones with different characteristics; usually there are zones that can only be written in sequential order as well as conventional zones that can be written in random order. The genesis of zoned block devices is shingled magnetic recording (SMR) devices, which were created to increase the capacity of hard disks, but at the cost of some flexibility.
