Re: Support for Intel P3xxx(3500) series PCIe SSD



Thanks Warner

OK Ill wait for a fix, and if anyone needs access to the hardware Ill put it on the public net ill probaby get the new nvme supported motherboard as well when supermicro releases the hardware in a few days




It almost certainly would, since NVMe is unlike any SATA or RAID controller.
There's a FreeBSD driver, which might be helpful. It's likely a relatively large
lift to write one from scratch. A port likely wouldn't be horrible, since the driver
is fairly clean, though it lacks big endian support. But you're still likely looking
at a bunch of time. And the underlying drives are fast enough that it will find
all the bottlenecks in the I/O subsystem that aren't apparent today, so there
may be some work there as well.
