Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] HOWTO/man: Describe trim support by zone reset for zoned devices
Date: Thu,  5 Aug 2021 12:28:34 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210805032835.1119908-5-shinichiro.kawasaki@wdc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210805032835.1119908-1-shinichiro.kawasaki@wdc.com>

Previous commits added trim support for zoned devices. Update HOWTO and
man page to describe it. Also add missing description about libzbc I/O
engine to HOWTO.
