A zoned device with limited resources to open or activate zones may return an error when the host exceeds those limits. The same command may be successful if retried later, but the host needs to wait for specific zone states before it should expect a retry to succeed. Have the block layer provide an appropriate status for these conditions so applications can distinuguish this error for special handling.
Hi Jens, Just checking in -- do you have any thoughts on this, or should I just wait a bit more? thx, Keith
