# [NAME](#NAME)

nvme-fdp-feature - Show or change Flexible Data Placement (FDP) Feature

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
nvme [<global-options>] fdp <device> [--endgrp-id=<NUM> | -e <NUM>]


                        [--enable-conf-idx=<NUM> | -c <NUM>]


                        [--disable | -d]
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

For the NVMe device given, configure and manage the Flexible Data Placement (FDP) feature.

This command can be used to either show the current FDP feature configuration or change it.

```


 If no `--enable-conf-idx` or `--disable` options are provided, the current configuration is
displayed.
```

If the --enable-conf-idx or --disable options are provided, configuration is changed accordingly. Device may refuse the change if there is a namespace.

The &lt;device&gt; parameter is mandatory and must be a NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0)

# [OPTIONS](#OPTIONS)

-e &lt;NUM&gt;, --endgrp-id=&lt;NUM&gt;

Specify the endurance group ID. This option is mandatory if device supports endurance groups.

-c &lt;NUM&gt;, --enable-conf-idx=&lt;NUM&gt;

Enable FDP feature with the specified configuration. The configuration index matches position listed by [nvme-fdp-config(1)](/man/os/nvme-cli/nvme-fdp-config.1).

-d, --disable

Disable the current FDP feature configuration.

# [GLOBAL OPTIONS](#GLOBAL_OPTIONS)

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

--dry-run

Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

--no-ioctl-probing

Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

--no-retries

Disable retry logic on transient errors.

-o &lt;fmt&gt;, --output-format=&lt;fmt&gt;

Set the reporting format to *normal*, *tabular, 'json*, or *binary*. Only one output format may be used at a time.

--output-format-version=&lt;version&gt;

Select the output format version. Version *1* uses the original field naming, while version *2* (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names.

--timeout=&lt;ms&gt;

Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v, --verbose

Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in [nvme-cli.conf(5)](/man/os/nvme-cli/nvme-cli.conf.5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.
