#698 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Support nvme nvd device IDs

Reported by: cpuroast Owned by: Alex Samorukov
Priority: minor Milestone: Release 7.0
Component: all Version: 6.5
Keywords: nvme freebsd Cc:

Description (last modified by Christian Franke)

As per: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=nvd

The nvd driver exposes NVM Express (NVMe) namespaces as disks to the kernel disk storage API

Device nodes from the nvd driver will have the format /dev/nvdX

smartctl -a /dev/nvd0

/dev/nvd0: Unable to detect device type
Please specify device type with the -d option.

smartctl -a /dev/nvd0 -d nvme

Smartctl open device: /dev/nvd0 failed: NVMe controller controller/namespace ids must begin with '/dev/nvme'

smartctl -a /dev/nvme0

Would it be somehow possible to alias nvd0 to nvme0?

Hi, i don't think that such alias needs to be done:

  1. It is possible to have nvme device without nvd nodes exported. E.g. if no nvd driver loaded or if device does not export any usable namespace.
  2. On system level only /dev/nvme* supports corresponding ioctl-s
  3. I would like to keep syntax compatible with windows/linux versions were it is /dev/nvme* only.

As quick workaround i will just add warning "Please use /dev/nvme* syntax" if user will try o use /dev/nvd*.
