We test against the NVMe-oF initiator that will be added to the Linux kerne= l. It currently exists as a set of patches against kernel 4.8. Here is an article from Mellanox expla= ining how to set up your Linux kernel for NVMe-oF:=C2=A0https://community.mellanox.com/docs/DOC-2508= . SPDK can run against essentially any modern Linux kernel, so you only have to put kernel 4.8 on = the initiator system. > =C2=A0 > =C2=A0 > Thanks, > -kiru > = > _______________________________________________ > SPDK mailing list > SPDK(a)lists.01.org > https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/spdk --===============6419877080865404216==--
