The changes came in three batches: the first prepared for and then added the ability to pair a single regular block device, the second was a batch of fixes to improve zoned's reclaim heuristic, and the third removed the limitation of only adding a single additional regular block device to allow many devices. Testing has shown linear scaling as more devices are added. - Add new emulated block size (ebs) target that emulates a smaller logical_block_size than a block device supports The primary use-case is to emulate "512e" devices that have 512 byte logical_block_size and 4KB phy...
