 This is automatically done in the `make setup` step. The amount of hugepages can be configured with `make setup HUGEPAGES=512`.
 
+ℹ️ **Info:** To eliminate the dependency on huge pages, set [mem_size=4096](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-nvmeof/blob/bf83ae504e77358944c8a0150d390cf66086fa2b/tests/ceph-nvmeof.no-huge.conf#L68) (memory size in megabytes) in the spdk section of the ceph-nvmeof.conf file.
