I write a short and very preliminary blog article about hoe to get SMR drives to work, fast, with f2fs. http://blog.schmorp.de/2015-10-08-smr-archive-drives-fast-now.html This is just a heads up - due to external events, I haven't been able to look into new developments (such as background_gc=sync), which look evry exciting, but I think this informastion needs to get out, as there are a lot of people who suffer badly with these drives, mostly due to kernel issues, but of course also due to the filesystem situation. -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schmorp@schmorp.de -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
