I looked at this commit and it actually adds SMR support to SCSI layer. Reverting ATA_DEV_ZAC means going back to zones-unaware algorithms. It is suboptimal but still much better than IO failures and "BTRFS: lost page write due to I/O error on /dev/sdc" errors I see at my computer. If this SMR support is considered as non-stable, can we at least get a kernel boot (or config) option that disables ZAC? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
