ndctl: Remove a namespace (when applicable) or reset it to an initial state.

ndctl

$ ndctl destroy-namespace --force ${namespaceX-Y}

try on your machine

This command is used to destroy a persistent memory namespace, which is a logical partition created on a persistent memory device. It is primarily used on Linux systems that support the "libndctl" library for managing persistent memory.

The command, "ndctl destroy-namespace", is called with the "--force" option and an argument representing the namespace to be destroyed, "${namespaceX-Y}". The "--force" option ensures that the destruction process is executed without additional confirmation prompts.

The "${namespaceX-Y}" argument represents the specific namespace that you want to remove. The "X-Y" notation may refer to a range of namespaces, with "X" representing the starting namespace identifier and "Y" representing the ending namespace identifier.

By executing this command, the specified namespace(s) will be permanently destroyed, making the associated persistent memory capacity available for alternative usage.
