reset

The command blkzone reset is used to reset one or more zones. Unlike sg_reset_wp(8), this command operates from the block layer and can reset a range of zones.

By default, the command will operate from the zone at device sector 0 and reset all zones. Options may be used to modify this behavior as well as specify the operation to be performed on the zone, as explained below.

 

OPTIONS

The offset and length option arguments may be followed by the multiplicative suffixes KiB (=1024), MiB (=1024*1024), and so on for GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB, ZiB and YiB (the "iB" is optional, e.g., "K" has the same meaning as "KiB") or the suffixes KB (=1000), MB (=1000*1000), and so on for GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB and YB. Additionally, the 0x prefix can be used to specify offset and length in hex.
-o, --offset sector
The starting zone specified as a sector offset. The provided offset in sector units (512 bytes) should match the start of a zone. The default value is zero.
-l, --length sectors
The maximum number of sectors the command should operate on. The default value is the number of sectors remaining after offset. This option cannot be used together with the option --count.
-c, --count count
The maximum number of zones the command should operate on. The default value is the nuber of zones starting from offset. This option cannot be used together with the option --length.
-v, --verbose
