Hi Rajat,
Thanks for bringing this up.
I would like to request a FFE for the LVM+nvmet patches.
They had a small bug that was detected by the WIP tempest CI job which got fixed a while back, but I've been fighting the normal CI job with spurious errors since then.
Now they all have +1 from CI and are ready to merge.
These patches add new features to the LVM driver over NVMe-oF, like native multipathing and sharing targets. Thanks to those any developer will be able to work on the NVMe-oF os-brick code without needing a high end storage array, and we'll be able to have CI jobs that can exercise those code paths as well.
Cheers, Gorka.
