✨ nvme-lnvm-factory ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is literally the factory reset button for your LightNVM device and she is not subtle 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme-lnvm-factory — factory reset a LightNVM device 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

nvme lnvm-factory [--device-name=<DEVICE> | -d <DEVICE>]
                        [--erase-only-marked | -e]
                        [--clear-host-side-blks | -s]
                        [--clear-bb-blks | -b]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the way that this works is: you instantiate a target on top of a LightNVM enabled device. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Doing so exposes the physical for the user to use. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --device-name=<DEVICE>, -d <DEVICE> — the device name you wanna factory initialize. yes, that's the one. 👑
  • --erase-only-marked, -e — erases only the blocks that are marked in the bad block list. selective queen behavior, no cap.
  • --clear-host-side-blks, -s — removes the host-side bad block marks. this clears the media manager registration. wiping the receipts fr fr 🧹
  • --clear-bb-blks, -b — removes the grown bad block marks, which allows them to be rediscovered. it's giving amnesia but make it intentional 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

  1. Factory reset of device nvme0n1
# nvme lnvm-factory -d nvme0n1
  1. Complete factory reset of device nvme0n1
