... all the talk about this stuff, and yet noone's talked about how
ZFS is supposed to be append only, and boy wouldn't that be awesome.
:)

So - is anyone planning on working on the minimum set of stuff to
expose the write topology for these shingled disks, so experiments can
start being made?

Even just knowing the shingle size(s) for writes would be enough to do
useful amounts of work from userspace.
