Hi I tried to understand if nvme CLI based on spdk-1.6 can somehow generate a block device without using the nvme fabrics kernel module. I managed to add tcp support and connect ,but then the code goes to the kernel module and no block device was added. In general , I know that it is possible to create block devices which are implemented in user space (for example with nbd) .. and I know spdk has block device layer.. Does someone think that what I did is somehow possible ? The motivation for this is easy host installation without the requirement to replace kernel or application changes. I'm aware there will be a performance impact.. Thanks -gili
