DESCRIPTION

For the NVMe device given, issues the Zone Management Send command with the "Open Zone" action. This will transition the zone to the opened state.

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.

-s <lba>
--start-lba=<lba>

The starting LBA of the zone to open.

-r
--zrwaa
