Finishes one or all zones
Usage
nvme [<global-options>]
zns
finish-zone
<device>
[{--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n
<NUM>}]
[{--start-lba=<LBA> | -s
<LBA>}]
[{--select-all | -a}]
Overview
For the NVMe device given, issues the Zone Management Send command with the "Finish Zone" action. This will transition the zone to the full state on success.
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
Options
-
-n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM> -
Use the provided namespace id for the command. If not provided, the namespace id of the block device will be used. If the command is issued to a non-block device, the parameter is required. The broadcast value 0xffffffff can also be given as all or -1.
-
-s <lba>, --start-lba=<lba> -
The starting LBA of the zone to finish.
-
-a, --select-all -
Select all zones for this action.
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.
-
--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.
-
--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.
