Utility for managing Non-Volatile DIMMs. More information: https://manned.org/ndctl.
- Create an 'fsdax' mode namespace:
ndctl create-namespace --mode={{fsdax}}
- Change the mode of a namespace to 'raw':
ndctl create-namespace --reconfigure={{namespaceX.Y}} --mode={{raw}}
- Check a sector mode namespace for consistency, and repair if needed:
ndctl check-namespace --repair {{namespaceX.Y}}
- List all namespaces, regions, and buses (including disabled ones):
ndctl list --namespaces --regions --buses --idle
- List a specific namespace and include lots of additional information:
ndctl list -vvv --namespace={{namespaceX.Y}}
- Run a monitor to watch for SMART health events for NVDIMMs on the 'ACPI.NFIT' bus:
ndctl monitor --bus={{ACPI.NFIT}}
- Remove a namespace (when applicable) or reset it to an initial state:
ndctl destroy-namespace --force {{namespaceX.Y}}
