This seems to miss a reference to Zoned XFS, which is the Linux file system that actually looked into this kind of data placement at the file system layer. The paper includes numbers using RocksDB:https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3725783.3764399

Thanks for pointing this out. I’ll add the reference to the arXiv version later.

In our paper, we only evaluated with regular XFS (see Section 10.3, “What happens if a filesystem is used?” in the arXiv version), but evaluating Zoned XFS would definitely be interesting as well.

There seems to be more details about the Linux implementation here: https://zonedstorage.io/
