Yup this is mayastor -- I noted that (iscsi & NVMe-oF) -- NVMe and NVMe over Fabric.

iSCSI would be 90% of the usecases I'd think though -- unless you know every server you're getting NVMe attached, most providers are SSD or HDD right?

NVMe-oF is a transport protocol between an initiator (e.g. Linux nvmf module) and a target (e.g. spdk, Linux nvmf module, etc.) much as iSCSI is a transport protocol. The storage behind the target does not need to be NVMe for NVMe-oF nor does it need to be SCSI for iSCSI.

TIL -- I had no idea NVMe-oF was a transport protocol just like iSCSI was, so rather I should characterize it as NVMe-oF/iSCSI transport protocols. Thanks for the clarification
