Is anyone working on SMR support for ZFS? I put support into FreeBSD for SMR drives from the block layer (GEOM) through the SCSI layer (CAM):
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=300207 <https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=300207> So far, no filesystems in the FreeBSD tree are using the SMR support. It looks like there are Linux folks working on SMR support: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/lemoal-Linux-SMR-vault-2017.pdf <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/lemoal-Linux-SMR-vault-2017.pdf> We (Spectra Logic) are considering starting work on supporting Host Aware and Host Managed SMR drives in ZFS, and we’d rather collaborate with other folks who are interested instead of duplicating the effort.
