Hi :)

Still experimenting with NVMe drives and FreeBSD, and I have ran into =
problems, I think.

I=C2=B4ve got a server with 10 Intel DC P3500 NVMe drives. Right now, =
running 11-BETA2.

I have updated the firmware in the drives to the latest version =
(8DV10174) using the Data Center Tools.
And I=E2=80=99ve formatted them for 4 KB blocks (LBA format #3)

nvmecontrol identify nvme0ns1
Size (in LBAs):              488378646 (465M)
Capacity (in LBAs):          488378646 (465M)
Utilization (in LBAs):       488378646 (465M)
Thin Provisioning:           Not Supported
Number of LBA Formats:       7
Current LBA Format:          LBA Format #03
LBA Format #00: Data Size:   512  Metadata Size:     0
LBA Format #01: Data Size:   512  Metadata Size:     8
LBA Format #02: Data Size:   512  Metadata Size:    16
LBA Format #03: Data Size:  4096  Metadata Size:     0
LBA Format #04: Data Size:  4096  Metadata Size:     8
LBA Format #05: Data Size:  4096  Metadata Size:    64
LBA Format #06: Data Size:  4096  Metadata Size:   128


ZFS properly detects the 4 KB block size and sets the correct ashift =
(12). But I=E2=80=99ve found these error messages
generated while I created a pool (zpool create tank raidz2 /dev/nvd[0-8] =
spare /dev/nvd9)

And the same for the rest of the drives [0-9].

Should I worry?=20

Thanks!
