NVMe over fabrics support in FreeBSD

Mon Apr 11 15:58:41 UTC 2016

Hi,

As you may be aware, in the last year or so a group of companies (Mellanox included) are defining the NVMe-over-fabric spec, and also developing the Linux drivers implementation (both initiator and target).

The spec is about to be finalized (next Q), and with that the code developed will become open source and available, under the GPL license.

What are FreeBSD plans to support NVMe-over-fabrics?
Is there a parallel effort happening or planned to happen as soon as the spec becomes available?
Is there a plan/facility to allow the GPL Linux code ported to FreeBSD?

Best regards,
