DAXCTL-DISABLE-DEVICE(1)

✨ DAXCTL-DISABLE-DEVICE ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to daxctl-disable-device from the daxctl manual 💅 this one's short and sweet, and it does exactly one thing: it disables a devdax device. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

daxctl disable-device [<options>]

literally just the command, plus whatever options you want to throw at it. no positional drama required in the synopsis, but keep reading, because the examples show you the real tea ☕

---

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

• Disables dax0.1 — one device, one command, iconic behavior:

# daxctl disable-device dax0.1

• Disables all devices in region id 0 — going full main character and doing every device in the region at once, and it even tells you how many it got:

# daxctl disable-device -r 0 all
disabled 3 devices

see that all at the end? yeah. that's the whole region, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Disables a dax device when it's in devdax mode. that's the entire description, bestie — I'm not gonna pad it out and make stuff up. it disables. the device. in devdax mode. periodt 💀✨

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -r, --region= — restrict the operation to devices belonging to the specified region(s). so like, a device-dax region is a contiguous range of memory that hosts one or more /dev/daxX.Y devices, where X is the region id and Y is the device instance id. iykyk 🔥
• -u, --human — by default the command outputs machine-friendly raw-integer data. instead, with this flag, numbers representing storage size get formatted as human readable strings with units, and other fields get converted to hexadecimal strings. so like, for humans 👑 (yes, that includes you)
• -v, --verbose — emit more debug messages. if you're the type who needs to know everything that's happening, this is your flag. lowkey obsessed 🧚
