NVME-MEDIA-UNIT-S(1)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 NAME 💅

nvme-media-unit-stat-log — sends an NVMe Media unit status Log pages request, hands you back the result and the log. Also, bestie… it's deprecated. 😭

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] media-unit-stat-log <device>
                        [--dom-id | -d]
                        [--raw-binary | -b]

yeah that's the whole vibe — one device, two optional flags, no drama 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: this is a deprecated alias for nvme-log-media-unit-stat(1). It's still here because we love our legacy scripts and we would never ghost them — specifically, it's kept for scripts written against nvme-cli versions older than 3.0. The options and behavior are identical; literally the only thing retained is the top-level command name. iykyk 💅

New scripts? Babes. Use nvme log media-unit-stat instead. This alias prints a deprecation warning on stderr and may be removed in a future release, so don't get too attached fr fr 🫶

For the full option reference, go see nvme-log-media-unit-stat(1) — that's the main character here 👑

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈

These are defined up at the top-level nvme command and they're available to this subcommand too. Group-chat-wide settings, basically 💖

  • --dry-run — prints the command that would be executed, but doesn't actually execute it. Manifesting the command without committing 🔮
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support. No poking around, we're just gonna assume ✨
  • --no-retries — kills the retry logic on transient errors. One shot, one opportunity 😤
  • -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format at a time, please — we don't do "why not both" 🎀
  • --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 — not on the list, not invited 💀
  • --quiet — suppresses informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet also cancels any --verbose for the library log level. Silence is golden, but the tea still gets spilled when something breaks 🙈
  • --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — sets libnvme library options for this one invocation. Supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir. Customize your little heart out 🍓
  • --timeout=<ms> — sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. Passing infinite or -1 waits with no time limit (0xffffffff). Patient queen behavior 👑
  • -v, --verbose — increases the level of detail in the output. You can specify it multiple times to crank the verbosity even further. More, more, MORE 🔥
Heads up bestie: these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file — CLI stays winning, no cap 💜
