Consider a scenario where one region is in an error state but another is
not:
# ndctl list -Ru
[
{
"dev":"region3",
"size":"127.00 GiB (136.37 GB)",
"available_size":0,
"max_available_extent":0,
"type":"pmem",
"persistence_domain":"unknown"
},
{
"dev":"region2",
"size":"127.00 GiB (136.37 GB)",
"available_size":"127.00 GiB (136.37 GB)",
"max_available_extent":"127.00 GiB (136.37 GB)",
"type":"pmem",
"iset_id":"0xba90120012b4dc",
"persistence_domain":"unknown"
}
]
# ndctl create-namespace -m devdax -v
[..]
namespace_create:887: region3: no idle namespace seed
failed to create namespace: No such device
Instead of failing when probing region3 for capacity, fallback to
region2.
# ndctl create-namespace -m devdax
{

"mode":"devdax",
"map":"dev",

"size":"125.01 GiB (134.23 GB)",
"align":2097152,
"devices":[
{
"chardev":"dax2.0",
"size":"125.01 GiB (134.23 GB)"
}
]
},
