[PATCH v2] nvme-user: Minor enhancement and fixes

Fri Dec 5 08:40:37 PST 2014

Hi Keith and Swati,

I have used my vendor specific tool to create namespace and managed to create it,

It doesn't appear in GUI as a file system where I can save things in but in /dev/ it lists nvme0 and nvme0n1

So I thought I might need to format it ? then I have used your tool nvme-format-ns and formatted the namespace ?

Nothing success and says icotl interrupted.

and then I thought that I might need to mount it ? I used linux built-in mount function as following:- mount /dev/nvme0n1

Since then the nvme0 and nvme0n1 disappeared and when I call lspci -v I noticed slight change, which is the " module driver in use nvme0" line has disappeared ? when it use to appear ? 

Any idear or help

Thanks a in advance.

Zakaria.

Thanks, applied.

On a side note, some people asked if I could take the example programs here and turn it into something more useful with just one program to run all nvme instead of a bunch of stand-alone programs. I took a stab at it:

http://git.infradead.org/users/kbusch/linux-nvme-cli.git

It's still a work in progress, but just linking here in case others have ideas or find it useful too.
