Correct. But I think that we should never had reported that. In any case, with
host aware also now deprecated, we now definitely do *not* want to report that a
drive managed disk is compatible zbc, as we treat such drives no different than
regular disks.

The old code was buggy ! we do not want to set rc basis for drive managed devices.

Yes it does and that is fine.
