+Zoned Filesystems
+=================
+
+For zoned file systems, the following attributes are exposed in:
+
+ /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/zoned/
+
+ max_open_zones (Min: 1 Default: Varies Max: UINTMAX)
+ This read-only attribute exposes the maximum number of open zones
+ available for data placement. The value is determined at mount time and
+ is limited by the capabilities of the backing zoned device, file system
+ size and the max_open_zones mount option.
+
+ zonegc_low_space (Min: 0 Default: 0 Max: 100)
+ Define a percentage for how much of the unused space that GC should keep
+ available for writing. A high value will reclaim more of the space
+ occupied by unused blocks, creating a larger buffer against write
+ bursts at the cost of increased write amplification. Regardless
+ of this value, garbage collection will always aim to free a minimum
+ amount of blocks to keep max_open_zones open for data placement purposes.
