✨ xnvme-dsm — Dataset Management ✨

okay bestie, welcome to xnvme-dsm, straight out of the xNVMe manual 💖 this is the one where you tell a device exactly which chunks of storage you're done with, and it's giving very "clean up your room" energy 🧹✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xnvme dsm <uri> [<args>]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Dataset Management. that's the whole vibe. you're handing the device a range of logical blocks and being like "hey, here's some info about this range" 👑 deallocate it, or just hint that you'll be reading/writing it as one whole unit. lowkey iconic.

🎀 REQUIRED 🎀

like, you literally cannot skip these, bestie. no cap.

  • <uri> — the Device URI. e.g. '/dev/nvme0n1', '0000:01:00.1', '10.9.8.1.8888', '\.PhysicalDrive1' 🦋
  • --nsid 0xNUM — Namespace Identifier for Command Construction. this is the namespace you're talking to, fr fr.
  • --slba 0xNUM — Start Logical Block Address. where the range begins 📍
  • --llb NUM — Length in LBAs. ⚠️ NOTE: this is a one-based value — so yes, the counting starts at one, don't come for me, that's just how it is 🙈

⭐ OPTIONAL ⭐

these are the little extras, the accessories to your outfit, the sprinkles on the 🍓

  • [ --ad ] — If set, deallocate ranges. this is the actual "yeet this data" button 💀
  • [ --idw ] — If set, hint to use range as an integral unit when writing. a lil heads-up to the device, not a demand ✍️
  • [ --idr ] — If set, hint to use range as an integral unit when reading. same energy, but for reading 📖
  • [ --subnqn STRING ] — Subsystem NQN of the NVMe over Fabrics endpoint, e.g. 'nqn.2022-06.io.xnvme:ctrlnode1' 🌈
  • [ --hostnqn STRING ] — The host NQN to use when connecting to NVMe over Fabrics controllers 🫶
  • [ --be STRING ] — xNVMe backend, e.g. 'linux', 'spdk', 'fbsd', 'macos', 'posix', 'windows' 🔥
  • [ --dev-nsid 0xNUM ] — Namespace Identifier for Device Handle 👑
  • [ --admin STRING ] — xNVMe admin. command-interface, e.g. 'nvme', 'block' 🧚
  • [ --mem STRING ] — xNVMe buffer/memory manager 🧠
  • [ --direct NUM ] — Bypass layers. straight to the metal, no middlemen ✨
  • [ --help ] — Show usage / help. your bestie when you're lost 💜
