Usage: cache_metadata_size [OPTIONS] <--device-size <SIZE> --block-size <SIZE> | --nr-blocks <NUM>>
Options:
--block-size <SIZE[bskmg]> Specify the size of each cache block
--device-size <SIZE[bskmgtp]> Specify total size of the fast device used in the cache
-h, --help Print help
--max-hint-width <BYTES> Specity the per-block hint width [default: 4]
-n, --numeric-only[=<OPT>] Output numeric value only
--nr-blocks <NUM> Specify the number of cache blocks
-u, --unit <UNIT> Specify the output unit in {bskKmMgG} [default: sector]
-V, --version Print version
