Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and computing system for deploying a kernel driver extension in a kernel of a storage processor communicatively coupled to one or more non-volatile memory express (NVMe) devices. The kernel driver extension may be communicatively coupled with a standard NVMe kernel driver deployed in the kernel of the storage processor. One or more input/output (I/O) operations may be performed on the one or more NVMe devices via the standard NVMe kernel driver and the kernel driver extension.
