Subject: [PATCH v6 1/4] docs/qcow2: add the zoned format feature
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2023 12:37:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231127043703.49489-2-faithilikerun@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231127043703.49489-1-faithilikerun@gmail.com>

Add the specs for the zoned format feature of the qcow2 driver.
The qcow2 file then can emulate real zoned devices, either passed
through by virtio-blk device or NVMe ZNS drive to the guest
given zoned information.
