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.
