All attributes +are user readable and can be found in the directory /sys/fs/zonefs/<dev>/, +where <dev> is the name of the mounted zoned block device. + +The attributes defined are as follows. + +* **max_wro_seq_files**: This attribute reports the maximum number of + sequential zone files that can be open for writing. This number corresponds + to the maximum number of explicitly or implicitly open zones that the device + supports. A value of 0 means that the device has no limit and that any zone + (any file) can be open for writing and written at any time, regardless of the + state of other zones. When the *explicit-open* mount option is used, zonefs + will fail any open() system call requesting to open a sequential zone file for + writing when the number of sequential zone files already open for writing has + reached the *max_wro_seq_files* limit. +* **nr_wro_seq_files**: This attribute reports the current number of sequential + zone files open for writing. When the "explicit-open" mount option is used, + this number can never exceed *max_wro_seq_files*. If the *explicit-open* + mount option is not used, the reported number can be greater than + *max_wro_seq_files*. In such case, it is the responsibility of the + application to not write simultaneously more than *max_wro_seq_files* + sequential zone files. Failure to do so can result in write errors. +* **max_active_seq_files**: This attribute reports the maximum number of + sequential zone files that are in an active state, that is, sequential zone + files that are partially writen (not empty nor full) or that have a zone that + is explicitly open (which happens only if the *explicit-open* mount option is + used). This number is always equal to the maximum number of active zones that + the device supports. A value of 0 means that the mounted device has no limit + on the number of sequential zone files that can be active. +* **nr_active_seq_files**: This attributes reports the current number of + sequential zone files that are active. If *max_active_seq_files* is not 0, + then the value of *nr_active_seq_files* can never exceed the value of + *nr_active_seq_files*, regardless of the use of the *explicit-open* mount + option. + Zonefs User Space Tools ======================= |
