How to under-(over?)provision an NVME drive?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Hi all.

according to the documentation this is the way to use only a set amount of a drive's capacity:

10. Storage — FreeNAS®11.3-U3.2 User Guide Table of Contents

www.ixsystems.com

This is the result when I try that on my system:

Code:

root@freenas-pmh[~]# disk_resize nvd0 16GB
Resizing nvd0 to 31277232 sectors
Unknown device type

Would using the nda(4) instead of the nvd(4) driver help? What's the direction of development, anyway? Will both devices continue to exist in parallel?

Thanks,
Patrick
