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 notification of existing NVMe namespaces and submission of NVM I/O commands.

SEE ALSO

       nvme(4), nvmecontrol(8), disk(9).

HISTORY

       The nvd driver first appeared in FreeBSD 9.2.
