Hello Christoph,

As you know with configfs it is not allowed to create directories in the configfs hierarchy from inside the kernel. This means that users will have to create one directory per fabric port before configuring a target port. Other virtual filesystems, e.g. sysfs, allow directory creation by kernel drivers. This means that with sysfs the fabric port directory could be created by the nvmet driver. Is this how you want the nvmet driver to work?

Thanks,

Bart.
