Zoned block devices have different granularity constraints for write operations into sequential zones. E.g. ZBC and ZAC devices require that writes be aligned to the device physical block size while NVMe ZNS devices allow logical block size aligned write operations. To correctly handle such difference, use the device zone write granularity limit to set the block size of a zonefs volume, thus allowing the smallest possible write unit for all zoned device types.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
