ndctl

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}}
