2. Create a list of drives that are not part of a recovery group and did not format as 4 KiB + 0 B.
# nvme list | grep Flash | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v -f /tmp/DONOTFORMAT.list | grep -v
'4 KiB + 0 B' | sort > /tmp/FORMAT.list
Check the listed drives.
# cat /tmp/FORMAT.list
A sample output is as follows:
/dev/nvme0n1
/dev/nvme12n1
/dev/nvme13n1
/dev/nvme14n1
/dev/nvme15n1
/dev/nvme16n1
/dev/nvme17n1
/dev/nvme1n1
/dev/nvme2n1
/dev/nvme3n1
/dev/nvme4n1
/dev/nvme5n1
3. Check both lists to ensure that the FORMAT.list list does not contain any drives from the
DONOTFORMAT.list list.
# grep -f /tmp/DONOTFORMAT.list /tmp/FORMAT.list
4. Format the drives in the FORMAT.list list.
# while read drv; do printf "$drv "; nvme format --lbaf=0 $drv; done < /tmp/FORMAT.list
A sample output is as follows:
/dev/nvme0n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme12n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme13n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme14n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme15n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme16n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme17n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme1n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme2n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme3n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme4n1 Success formatting namespace:1
/dev/nvme5n1 Success formatting namespace:1
5. Verify that all the drives are formatted correctly.
# nvme list
