Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) hard drives are a new type of "zoned" storage device that behave differently from standard block storage devices, but provide greater capacity per drive. While the different interface provides some challenges, these devices can be very useful for "near-line" large object storage applications.

In the past year, several improvements in the Linux kernel and utility programs have made it easier to use zoned block devices. This session provides a practical overview on how to use SMR drives, focusing on the developer experience in Fedora, while concentrating on the mechanics and restrictions of using a zoned block storage device.
