If you're going to bother fixing the spelling, may as well fix the grammar

... actually, I don't know what is meant here. Could it mean:
/*
* The full zone was scanned for compaction, but didn't produce

* Zone compaction had to stop before scanning the full zone, and
* no suitable pages were produced.
