NVME-SEAGATE-VS-P(1)

💅 nvme-seagate-vs-pcie-stats 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the NVME-SEAGATE-VS-P(1) page — it lives in the NVMe Manual and honestly? it's giving niche-but-iconic. this is the nvme-seagate-vs-pcie-stats page, and we're gonna get you fluent in it, fr fr 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nvme-seagate-vs-pcie-stats — grab Seagate vendor specific PCIe error statistics. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nvme [<global-options>] seagate vs-pcie-stats <device> [OPTIONS]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so heads up first: this command only works on Seagate devices that support this feature. not all commands work across all product families — so if your drive isn't a Seagate (or doesn't do this thing), sorry bestie, it's not gonna slay for you 😭

the <device> parameter is mandatory — like, you cannot skip it, main character energy only. and it can be either:

• an NVMe character device, ex: /dev/nvme0
• or an nvme block device, ex: /dev/nvme0n1

both are valid, pick your fighter 💅

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

👑 GLOBAL OPTIONS 👑

these options are defined at the top-level nvme command, and they're available to this subcommand too. so yes, you get the whole toolbox:

• --dry-run — prints the command that would be executed, but does not actually execute it. all the anticipation, zero commitment 🙈
• --no-ioctl-probing — disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
• --no-retries — disables the retry logic on transient errors. one shot, no do-overs 💀
• -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, json, or binary. only one output format at a time, bestie — pick one and commit ✨
• --output-format-version=<version> — selects 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 versions are rejected — no cap, they said no 🚫
• --quiet — suppresses informational messages. errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. so it's --quiet > --verbose, periodt 💅
• --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.
• --timeout=<ms> — sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff) — literally forever, no thoughts just waiting 🫠
• -v, --verbose — increases the level of detail in the output. may be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity (stack 'em, queen 👑)

💡 lowkey important: these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). but a command-line flag always overrides the file — CLI stays on top, as it should 💖

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

get the vendor specific PCIe error statistics for the specified device:

# nvme seagate vs-pcie-stats /dev/nvme0

that's it. that's the whole ritual. iconic, honestly 🎀
