Given that the naming of pmem devices changes from the pmemX form to the
pmemX.Y form when namespace id is greater than 0, arrange for namespaces
with id-0 to be exempt from deletion. Otherwise a simple reconfiguration
of an existing namespace to a new mode results in a name change of the
resulting block device:
# ndctl list --namespace=namespace1.0
{
"dev":"namespace1.0",
"mode":"raw",
"size":2147483648,
"uuid":"3dadf3dc-89b9-4b24-b20e-abc8a4707ce3",
"blockdev":"pmem1"
}
# ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace1.0 --mode=memory --force
{
"dev":"namespace1.1",
"mode":"memory",
"size":2111832064,
"uuid":"7b4a6341-7318-4219-a02c-fb57c0bbf613",
"blockdev":"pmem1.1"
}
This change does require tooling changes to explicitly look for
namespaceX.0 if the seed has already advanced to another namespace.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
