31.Sh NAME
32.Nm nda
33.Nd NVMe Direct Access device driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd device nvme
36.Cd device scbus
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40driver provides support for direct access devices, implementing the
41.Tn NVMe
42command protocol, that are attached to the system through a host adapter
43supported by the CAM subsystem.
44.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
45The following variables are available as both
46.Xr sysctl 8
47variables and
48.Xr loader 8
49tunables:
50.Bl -tag -width 12
51.It Va kern.cam.nda.sort_io_queue
52.Pp
53This variable determines whether the software queued entries are
54sorted in LBA order or not.
55Sorting is almost always a waste of time.
56The default is to not sort.
57.El
58.Pp
59The following report per-device settings, and are read-only unless
60otherwise indicated. Replace
61.Va N
62with the device unit number.
63.Bl -tag -width 12
64.It Va kern.cam.nda.N.rotating
65.Pp
66This variable reports whether the storage volume is spinning or
67flash.
68It's value is hard coded to 0 indicating flash.
69.It Va kern.cam.nda.N.unmapped_io
70This variable reports whether the
71.Nm
72driver accepts unmapped I/O for this unit.
