NAME
nvd -- NVM Express disk driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device nvme device nvd Or, to load the driver as a module at boot, place the following lines in loader.conf(5): nvme_load="YES" nvd_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The nvd driver exposes NVM Express (NVMe) namespaces as disks to the kernel disk storage API. It depends on the nvme(4) driver for notifica- tion of existing NVMe namespaces and submission of NVM I/O commands. Device nodes from the nvd driver will have the format /dev/nvdX and are GEOM(4) disks which can be partitioned by geom(8). Note that device nodes from the nvme(4) driver are not GEOM(4) disks and cannot be partitioned.
