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.


AUTHORS
     The nvd driver was developed by Intel and originally written by Jim Harris <jimharris@FreeBSD.org>, with
     contributions from Joe Golio at EMC.
