- Add a SPDX header;
- Add a document title;
- Some whitespace fixes and new line breaks;
- Mark literal blocks as such;
- Add it to filesystems/index.rst.

ZoneFS - Zone filesystem for Zoned block devices

Introduction

@ -29,6 +33,7 @@ Zoned block devices
Zoned storage devices belong to a class of storage devices with an address
space that is divided into zones. A zone is a group of consecutive LBAs and all
zones are contiguous (there are no LBA gaps). Zones may have different types.
* Conventional zones: there are no access constraints to LBAs belonging to
conventional zones. Any read or write access can be executed, similarly to a
regular block device.

--------------
Several optional features of zonefs can be enabled at format time.
* Conventional zone aggregation: ranges of contiguous conventional zones can be
aggregated into a single larger file instead of the default one file per zone.
* File ownership: The owner UID and GID of zone files is by default 0 (root)

Further action taken by zonefs I/O error recovery can be controlled by the user
with the "errors=xxx" mount option. The table below summarizes the result of

zonefs define the "errors=<behavior>" mount option to allow the user to specify

The written file can be truncated to the zone size, preventing any further
write operation.

Truncation to 0 size allows freeing the file zone storage space and restart

Since files are statically mapped to zones on the disk, the number of blocks of
a file as reported by stat() and fstat() indicates the size of the file zone.

maximum file size of 524288 * 512 B = 256 MB, corresponding to the device zone
