Subject: [PATCH docs v2 4/5] zfsnvme: document target reboot prerequisites
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 00:36:29 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5208017ed6266e36b7094a4938891ecf5b67ec74.1785636981.git.joaquinvarela@neatech.ar> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785636981.git.joaquinvarela@neatech.ar>
Document module loading and configfs availability on the Linux nvmet
target. Clarify that target configuration is derived state reconstructed
from ZFS properties during activation.

`/etc/pve/priv/zfs/<server>_id_rsa`.
+The NVMe target modules and configfs must be available after a target reboot,
+before a {pve} node attempts to reconcile the exported namespaces. On a Linux
+target using systemd, load the transport at boot and verify the configfs mount:
+
+----
+# echo nvmet_tcp >/etc/modules-load.d/pve-nvmet.conf
+# modprobe nvmet_tcp
+# mountpoint /sys/kernel/config
+----
+
+The target configuration below configfs is derived state. It does not need a
+separate persistence service: after the module and ZFS pool are available, the
+backend reconstructs subsystems, namespaces, UUIDs, ACLs, and ports from the
+ZFS user properties during activation.
+
Each {pve} node needs `nvme-cli`, the `nvme-tcp` module, native NVMe multipath,
a unique `/etc/nvme/hostnqn`, and `/etc/nvme/hostid`. Interface names listed in
the storage configuration must exist on every node where the storage is
