- This option enables support for multipath access to NVMe
- subsystems. If this option is enabled only a single
- /dev/nvmeXnY device will show up for each NVMe namespace,
- even if it is accessible through multiple controllers.
+ This option controls support for multipath access to NVMe
+ subsystems. If this option is enabled support for NVMe multipath
+ access is included in the kernel. If this option is disabled support
+ for NVMe multipath access is excluded from the kernel. When this
+ option is disabled each controller/namespace receives its
+ own /dev/nvmeXnY device entry and NVMe multipath access is
+ not supported.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
