This same sequence worked fine in my QEMU setup.
My guess is the issue is that your namespaces are in raw mode:
# ndctl list
[
{
"dev":"namespace1.0",
"mode":"raw", << this
"size":18119393280,
"sector_size":512,
"blockdev":"pmem1",
"numa_node":0
},
{
"dev":"namespace0.0",
"mode":"raw", << this
"size":18119393280,
"sector_size":512,
"blockdev":"pmem0",
"numa_node":0
}
]
If so, you can solve this by putting them in fsdax mode with ndctl:
# ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace0.0 --mode=fsdax
{
"dev":"namespace0.0",
"mode":"fsdax",
"size":"16.61 GiB (17.83 GB)",
"uuid":"4c193c83-c031-41d4-8f96-2ff5c7b59c69",
"raw_uuid":"2f785f09-717a-4a5e-9e9d-88d489ef1030",
"sector_size":512,
"blockdev":"pmem0",
"numa_node":0
}
# ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace1.0 --mode=fsdax
{
"dev":"namespace1.0",
"mode":"fsdax",
"size":"16.61 GiB (17.83 GB)",
"uuid":"39ec9cc4-a7ef-4f99-8354-60105543bf47",
"raw_uuid":"403fae76-d4f8-4bed-9a3f-ef40924762be",
"sector_size":512,
"blockdev":"pmem1",
"numa_node":0
}
If that doesn't fix it for you, ping me on freenode and we'll figure it out.
