🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme-seagate-vs-smart-add-log — retrieve Seagate vendor specific extended-SMART Information. No cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] seagate vs-smart-add-log <device> [OPTIONS]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so for the NVMe device given, this sends the Seagate vendor log request and either saves the result to a file or dumps the content to stdout. Very demure, very log. 💅

The <device> parameter is mandatory — yes, mandatory mandatory — and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). 🫶

The log contents may be associated with the controller, in which case the namespace parameter is ignored. Noted, bestie. ✨

Two logs exist, page 0xC4 (Extended SMART log page) and page 0xCF (DRAM Supercap SMART log page). Both are giving specific. 🍓

This command will only work on Seagate devices supporting this feature. Not all commands work across all product families. 💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -l <NUM>, --log=<NUM> — Log number, page 0xC4 (Extended SMART log page) and page 0xCF (DRAM Supercap SMART log page). Pick your page, bestie. 🎀
• -n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM> — Namespace number.
• -o <FILE>, --output-file=<FILE> — Output in binary format. Defaults to text-formatted dump to stdout.

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

• --dry-run — Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it. Look, don't touch. ✨
• --no-ioctl-probing — Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
• --no-retries — Disable retry logic on transient errors.
• -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time. Periodt.
• --output-format-version=<version> — Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names. Other versions are rejected.
• --quiet — Suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.
• --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — Set libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir.
• --timeout=<ms> — Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff).
• -v, --verbose — Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file. File says one thing, flag says another? Flag wins, obviously. 💅
