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 Group 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.
- -l <lbstm>
- --lbstm=<lbstm>
-
Logical Block Storage Tag Mask for end-to-end protection.
- -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.
