🌸 NVME-SNDK-DRIVE-RESIZE 🌸

okay bestie, so this is a page from the NVMe Manual, section 1, and it's literally all about nvme-sndk-drive-resize — yes that's a mouthful, iykyk 💅

It's the one that sends the NVMe sndk Resize Vendor Unique Command, and then hands you back the result. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

nvme-sndk-drive-resize — send the NVMe sndk Resize Vendor Unique Command, and return the result. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nvme [<global-options>] sndk drive-resize <device> [--size=<sz> | -s <sz>]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So for the NVMe device you hand it, it sends a Vendor Unique sndk Resize command. no cap, that's the entire plot 🫶

The <device> parameter is mandatory — like, you cannot skip it, bestie, it's not optional — and it can be either:

  • the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or
  • a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
🙈 important vibe check: this will only work on Sandisk devices that support this feature. results for any other device are undefined — so like, literally don't, unless you're on a Sandisk that supports it. undefined behavior is not the moment, fr fr 💀

On success it returns 0, and an error code otherwise. simple as that ✨

🧚 OPTIONS 🧚

  • -s <sz>, --size=<sz> — the new size (in GB) you want to resize the drive to. that's the whole option, she's simple and she serves 👑

👑 GLOBAL OPTIONS 👑

these ones are defined up at the top-level nvme command, but they're available to this subcommand too, so don't act surprised 💅

  • --dry-run — print the command that would be executed, but don't actually execute it. window shopping, basically 🛍️
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — disable retry logic on transient errors. one shot, no second chances, main character energy 😭
  • -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, so pick a lane bestie ⭐
  • --output-format-version=<version> — select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (the default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names. other versions are rejected — she does not entertain them 💀
  • --quiet — suppress informational messages. errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. so if you want silence, you get silence 🌸
  • --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). she'll wait forever if you ask her to 🫶
  • -v, --verbose — increase the level of detail in the output. may be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. stack it, queen 👑

these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). a command-line flag always overrides the file. always. periodt 💅

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

  • have the program issue the sndk Resize Vendor Unique Command:
# nvme sndk drive-resize /dev/nvme0n1 --size=100

🍓 NVME 🍓

part of the nvme-user suite. iconic, honestly 💜

✨ that's the whole page, bestie ✨ this was NVMe's nvme-sndk-drive-resize, dated 10/30/2026 — go forth and resize responsibly, and remember: only on supported Sandisk devices, or the universe gets undefined on you 😭💖🦋
