1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a computer system, a read request, the read request referencing a volume and data to be read from the volume;
identifying, by the computer system, a zone segment mapped to the volume, the zone segment comprising a plurality of zones, wherein the plurality of zones are organized sequentially in the zone segment;
identifying, by the computer system, (a) a stored pointer indicating a read position in a first zone of the zone segment and (b) a read length indicating a length of a track to be read, wherein the read length corresponds to multiple zones of the zone segment;
based on the stored pointer and the read length: reading, by the computer system, the data from at least the first zone of the plurality of zones of the zone segment and a second zone of the plurality of zones based on (a) the second zone being organized sequentially subsequent to the first zone in the plurality of zones, the reading starting at the read position in the first zone and (b) the read length corresponding to multiple zones of the zone segment; and
outputting, by the computer system, the read data to a destination location.
