Can't understand requirement of the getting started docs

[generousRocky]

While reading the document, the followings are little bit hard to understand

After booting the a supported kernel. The following must be met:

1. A compatible device, such as QEMU NVMe or an Open-Channel SSD, such as the CNEX Labs LightNVM SDK.
2. A media manager on top of the device driver. The media manager manages the partition table for the device.
3. A target on top of the block manager that exposes the Open-Channel SSD.

I understood num1 requirement and it is met cuz I have CNEX SSD, However, number 2 and number 3 are bit hard to understand and ambiguous.

This sentence means like, do I have to install or do something manually? or just is it done automatically after I compile linux kernel?

You can ignore #2, since it is deprecated since 4.8. After i#1t, you can use "nvme lnvm create" command to create a target on top. E.g. pblk on top will expose the drive as s traditional drive. Den 25. aug. 2017 12.18 skrev "RockyLim92" <[email protected]>:
