+Zone reclaim, garbage collection
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+As the zones are append-only, overwriting data or COW changes in metadata
+make parts of the zones used but not connected to the filesystem structures.
+This makes the space unusable and grows over time. Once the ratio hits a
+(configurable) threshold a background reclaim process is started and relocates
+the remaining blocks in use to a new zone. The old one is reset and can be used
+again.
+
+This process may take some time depending on other background work or
+amount of new data written. It is possible to hit an intermittent ENOSPC.
+Some devices also limit number of active zones.
