Subject: [PATCH 1/3] nvme: enable multipathing by default
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 17:27:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181120162734.2013-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181120162734.2013-1-hch@lst.de>
And make it a little more clear that the only reason to disable it is
to optimize for size in constrained environment.

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 namespaces,
even if it is accessible through multiple controllers.
+ Say Y here unless you need to optimize for size in embedded
+ systems that are never going to see multi-port NVMe devices.
+
+ If you say N multiple ports of the same subsystem will show
+ up as separate devices, and none of the normal block device
+ exclusion mechanisms will work.
