ndctl: Change the mode of a namespace to 'raw'.

ndctl

$ ndctl create-namespace --reconfigure=${namespaceX-Y} --mode=${raw}

try on your machine

The command "ndctl create-namespace --reconfigure=${namespaceX-Y} --mode=${raw}" is used to create and configure a new namespace on a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) device using the ndctl utility.

Here is an explanation of the options and arguments used in the command:

"ndctl": This is the executable command for the ndctl utility, which is used to manage and configure NVM devices.
"create-namespace": This is a sub-command of ndctl used to create a new namespace.
"--reconfigure=${namespaceX-Y}": This option is used to specify the namespace to reconfigure. The "${namespaceX-Y}" is a placeholder representing the specific namespace you want to configure. You need to replace it with the actual namespace name or ID.
"--mode=${raw}": This option is used to specify the mode for the new namespace. The "${raw}" is a placeholder representing the desired mode. You need to replace it with the actual mode you want to set for the namespace. The available modes depend on the capabilities of the NVM device and can include modes like "raw", "fsdax", or "sector".

By running this command with appropriate values for the namespace and mode, you can create a new namespace on an NVM device and configure its mode according to your requirements.
