NAME¶
nvme-create-ns - Send NVMe Namespace management command to create namespace, returns results.
SYNOPSIS¶
nvme create-ns <device> [--nsze=<nsze> | -s <nsze>]
[--ncap=<ncap> | -c <ncap>]
[--flbas=<flbas> | -f <flbas>]
[--dps=<dps> | -d <dps>]
[--nmic=<nmic> | -m <nmic>]
[--anagrp-id=<anagrpid> | -a <anagrpid>]
[--nvmset-id=<nvmsetid> | -i <nvmsetid>]
[--csi=<command_set_identifier> | -y <command_set_identifier>]
[--block-size=<block-size> | -b <block-size>]
[--timeout=<timeout> | -t <timeout>] DESCRIPTION
For the NVMe device given, sends a namespace management command to create the namespace with the requested settings. On success, the namespace identifier assigned by the controller is returned. The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). OPTIONS
-s, --nsze
The namespace size.
-c, --ncap
The namespace capacity.
-f, --flbas
The namespace formatted logical block size setting.
Conflicts with --block-size argument.
-d, --dps
The data protection settings.
-m, --nmic
Namespace multipath and sharing capabilities.
-a, --anagrp-id
ANA Gorup Identifier. If this value is 0h specifies that
the controller determines the value to use
-i <nvmsetid>, --nvmset-id=<nvmsetid>
This field specifies the identifier of the NVM Set.
-y <command_set_identifier>, --csi=<command_set_identifier>
This field specifies the identifier of command set. if
not issued, NVM Command Set will be selected.
-b, --block-size
Target block size the new namespace should be formatted
as. Potential FLBAS values will be values will be scanned and the lowest
numbered will be selected for the create-ns operation. Conflicts with --flbas
argument.
