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.
