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.
