With regard to SMR drives, note that there are three basic types:
Some completely hide the fact that they are SMR. These suck, hands down.
Performance is unpredictable and random.
Some at least advertise that they're SMR, and expose basic counters about where
they are in their maintenance
Note also that “regions” aren’t actually full children of sessions. If you set

So the old inconsistency was a super-bad kind of inconsistency. The interfaces
got named based on the order in which the devices were discovered. Which, on a
lot of systems, meant that every boot was essentially rolling the dice on a
race condition. If you only have one device, you're fine.
