Zoned XFS: Transparent and Efficient Zoned Storage Support For Scalable Storage Systems
Zoned storage enables higher storage densities with Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) hard disks and reduces costs and improves tail latency with Zoned Namespace (ZNS) SSDs.
Zoned XFS adds zoned storage support to the existing scalable XFS file system for Linux to seamlessly enable the benefits of zoned storage for unmodified applications such as key-value stores or distributed storage systems with performance beating that of existing zone-aware file systems on Linux.
