Support for ZBC (Zoned Block Commands), Write to LBA 0

2722272Jul 29 2014 — edited Aug 1 2014

I'm working on testing harddrives with the, at this time, unreleased T10 specification of ZBC.

With this specification all access must be sequential within the Zone, basically for SMR drives.

I would like to use vdbench for some testing, but because vdbench will not allow writes to LBA 0, where the zones current write pointer is, the drive will return an error saying that the LBA is out of range.

Is there a setting within the parms file that I can set that will allow for access to LBA 0?
