Zoned MC Conference Kick Off
summary
Zone storage is alive and shipping: ZNS and SMR drives have kernel support, NVMe block-device patches are upstream, and device-mapper plus filesystem integrations and user-space tools exist and are being exercised. QEMU is usable to emulate zone devices for testing, multiple hardware vendors provide drives, and organizers expect follow-up code reviews and patch submissions on the mailing list to move features from demo to production.
