So tired of seeing this. The problem is you don't want to do ANY striping on ANY SMR drives. It's not a ZFS problem. It's not a SMR problem. It's STRIPING on SMR. PERIOD.
Once upon a time people knew what they were talking about. Now everybody's an EXPERT NPC.
Could you explain why? Isn't the problem rather in the fact the filesystem does not know it is SMR and does not have a capability to work with such device optimally?
