SPDK supports FreeBSD where possible. Our NVMe driver and our I/OAT driver = work, as does our iSCSI target, but our NVMe-oF target requires a functional libibverbs which isn't available on FreeBSD. If that dependency was availab= le, our target should work. > = > for Linux, which kernel version is adviced to run SPDK? SPDK uses a very small number of kernel interfaces, so you are free to choo= se essentially any "modern" Linux kernel starting with the 3.x series. We do m= ost of our testing closer to the latest - 4.6 as of this email - but we run thi= s on 3.x kernels regularly too. The main requirement is that the kernel supports either uio or vfio. If you ever run into a problem on an older kernel we'd = love to hear about it so we can fix it. > = > = > best wishes > = > = > Tony > = > _______________________________________________ > SPDK mailing list > SPDK(a)lists.01.org > https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/spdk --===============7030437233931471773==--
