28788c47fcSHans RosenfeldNVMe compliant solid-state storage devices.
29788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.Lp
30788c47fcSHans RosenfeldNVMe devices supporting multiple namespaces will present each
31788c47fcSHans Rosenfeldnamespace as its own

35788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.Sh CONFIGURATION
36788c47fcSHans RosenfeldThe
37788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.Nm
3853475f71SHans Rosenfelddriver can be configured by defining properties in the
3953475f71SHans Rosenfeld.Pa nvme.conf
4053475f71SHans Rosenfeldfile.
4153475f71SHans RosenfeldThe parameters are considered an unstable interface, subject to
4253475f71SHans Rosenfeldchange without notice.
4353475f71SHans RosenfeldThe following properties are currently supported:
44788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.Bl -tag -width Va
45788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.It Va strict-version
46788c47fcSHans RosenfeldThis can be set to 0 to allow
47788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.Nm
48788c47fcSHans Rosenfeldto attach to devices supporting newer version of the NVMe
4953475f71SHans Rosenfeldspecification.
5053475f71SHans RosenfeldThe default value is 1, limiting
51788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.Nm
52*c8ded1b3SRobert Mustacchito work with devices that support major version 1.
53788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.It Va ignore-unknown-vendor-status
54788c47fcSHans RosenfeldThis can be set to 1 to allow
55788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.Nm
56788c47fcSHans Rosenfeldto continue operating even if it receives an unknown vendor command
57788c47fcSHans Rosenfeldstatus.
58788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.It Va admin-queue-len
5953475f71SHans RosenfeldThis is the number of entries in the admin command queue.
6053475f71SHans RosenfeldLegal values are between 16 and 4096, the default value is 256.
61788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.It Va io-queue-len
6253475f71SHans RosenfeldThis is the number of entries in each I/O command queue.
6353475f71SHans RosenfeldLegal values are between 16 and 65536, the default value is 1024.
64788c47fcSHans Rosenfeld.It Va async-event-limit
65788c47fcSHans RosenfeldThis is the maximum number of asynchronous event requests issued by
6653475f71SHans Rosenfeldthe driver.
6753475f71SHans RosenfeldAsynchronous events are used to report error conditions.
68788c47fcSHans RosenfeldThe driver will never use more asynchronous events than this value, or
6953475f71SHans Rosenfeldwhat the hardware supports if it is less, or 1/10th of the admin queue
7053475f71SHans Rosenfeldlength if it is less.
715f836503SHans Rosenfeld.It Va volatile-write-cache-enable
725f836503SHans RosenfeldThis property can be set to 0 to disable the volatile write cache, if
735f836503SHans Rosenfeldthe hardware supports it.
745f836503SHans RosenfeldThe default setting is 1, which enables the volatile write cache.
759974ca0cSHans Rosenfeld.It Va min-phys-block-size
769974ca0cSHans RosenfeldThis is the minimum physical block size that is reported to
779974ca0cSHans Rosenfeld.Xr blkdev 7d .
789974ca0cSHans RosenfeldThis value must be a power of 2 greater than or equal to 512.
799974ca0cSHans RosenfeldIf the device reports a best block size larger than what is
809974ca0cSHans Rosenfeldspecified here the driver will ignore the value specified here.
