Hi all,

I'd like to give a short update on the LightNVM Open-Channel SSD 
integration [1,2]. The block layer plumbing and specification is coming 
along and the first devices are becoming available.

The LightNVM integration allows SSDs to expose their internal 
organization and control the flow of data towards flash. I believe this 
can benefit both file systems, as well as user-space programs accessing 
devices directly. I'd like to discuss how information is presented to 
file-systems, how to direct write patterns, how user-space application 
can optimize data access, etc.

Furthermore, it may also be interesting to discuss if and how other 
interfaces can be integrated to make use of Open-channel SSDs.
