In linux kernel since version 4.2 (release Date: 2015-08-30)
This device-mapper target takes a host-managed or host-aware zoned
block device and exposes most of its capacity as a regular block
device (drive-managed zoned block device) without any write
constraints. This is mainly intended for use with file systems that
do not natively support zoned block devices but still want to
benefit from the increased capacity offered by SMR disks. Other uses
by applications using raw block devices (for example object stores)
are also possible.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called dm-zoned.
If unsure, say N.
