Hello all, In the new stable kernel configuration (4.4.6-gentoo-sources) there is the option :
*Open-Channel SSD target support (NVM) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?* *CONFIG_NVM:* *Say Y here to get to enable Open-channel SSDs.* *Open-Channel SSDs implement a set of extension to SSDs, that* *exposes direct access to the underlying non-volatile memory.* *If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled* *only do this if you know what you are doing.* *Symbol: NVM [=n]* *Type : boolean* *Prompt: Open-Channel SSD target support* * Location:* * -> Device Drivers* * Defined at drivers/lightnvm/Kconfig:5* * Depends on: BLOCK [=y]* Gentoo is installed on a 256 Mo Crucial SSD and i see the line "*only do this if you know what you are doing"...* So is it safe to select this option or not ? Thank you in advance for your response, Regards, *--* *Jacques*
