Without having read that paper, has zoned storage been considered? F2FS
already supports zoned block devices. I'm not aware of a better solution
to reduce write amplification for flash devices. Maybe I'm missing
something?
More information is available in this paper:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3458336.3465300.
Thanks,
Bart.
