Thanks for the interest. I didn't post them online as the conference didn't provide it, and I don't think the slides would be particularly interesting without the prepared speech anyway. The presentation described a simple prototype implementing a redirection table on zone block devices. There was one bullet point explaining how a generic kernel implementation would be an improvement. For zoned block devices, an "append" like copy offload would be an even better option. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
