Abstract
Wear on a zoned storage device can be reduced in some examples. One particular example can involve a system that can receive delete requests configured for erasing multiple files from a zone of a zoned storage device. In response to receiving the deleting requests, the system can update a log to indicate that the multiple files in the zone are to be erased. The system can determine, based on the log, that a predefined amount of data encompassing the multiple files in the zone is to be erased. The system can then transmit a command to the zoned storage device for causing the predefined amount of data in the zone to be erased. Erasing the data in this way may reduce write amplification and thereby increase the longevity of the zoned storage device.
