🌸 NVME-ENDURANCE-LOG(1) — the nvme manual, but make it make sense 💅

okay bestie, so this one is from the NVMe Manual and it's literally a whole deprecated little legend. grab a strawberry drink 🍓 and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

nvme-endurance-log — sends the NVMe Endurance log page request, gives you back the result and the log. also, and I cannot stress this enough, it is deprecated 😭

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nvme [<global-options>] endurance-log <device>
                        [--group-id=<group> | -g <group>]

like, that's the whole shape of it. <device>, and optionally a group id. periodt.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so real talk: this is a deprecated alias for nvme-log-endurance(1). it's still here purely as a little time capsule for scripts that were written against nvme-cli versions older than 3.0. the options and behavior are identical — the only thing that got kept is the top-level command name. that's it. that's the tea.

new scripts should use nvme log endurance instead, no cap. this alias prints a deprecation warning on stderr and — heads up — it may be removed in a future release. so like, don't get too attached 🫶

if you want the full option reference, go see nvme-log-endurance(1). the whole thing is over there.

💜 GLOBAL OPTIONS 💜

these ones live at the top-level nvme command, but they're available to this subcommand too. main character options, honestly 👑

  • --dry-run — prints the command that would be executed, but doesn't actually execute it. fake it till you make it, but make it a dry run.
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — turns off retry logic on transient errors. one shot, no second chances 💀
  • -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. only one output format at a time, bestie — pick a lane.
  • --output-format-version=<version> — picks the output format version. version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (the default) gives you more consistent and script-friendly field names. any other version gets rejected, sorry not sorry.
  • --quiet — suppresses informational messages. errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. so they're kinda enemies.
  • --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — sets libnvme library options for this invocation. supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir. slay.
  • --timeout=<ms> — sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff). she'll wait forever, literally.
  • -v, --verbose — increases the level of detail in the output. may be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. the way that just keeps going 🔥
also! these options can be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). a command-line flag always overrides the file. always. don't forget it.

and that's the whole vibe check, bestie 💖 this page came from the NVMe crew, dated 10/30/2026, and it's the NVME-ENDURANCE-LOG(1) page — deprecated but iconic, lowkey. bye bye, go use nvme log endurance 🎀✨
