I'm not sure about how to moderate the reported DMSMR behaviors reported in this thread. But I wonder if folks are better off buying host managed or host aware drives instead, and pairing it with either dm-zoned and their preferred file system; or a file system that supports ZBC and ZAC natively (Btrfs does, I'm not sure about others). Note that dm-zoned has significant changes starting with kernel 5.5. https://zonedstorage.io/linux/dm/# https://zonedstorage.io/linux/dm/#
