The following namespace configuration attempt: # ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 -m devdax -a 1G -f libndctl: ndctl_dax_enable: dax0.1: failed to enable Error: namespace0.0: failed to enable failed to reconfigure namespace: No such device or address ...fails when the backing memory range is not physically aligned to 1G: # cat /proc/iomem | grep Persistent 210000000-30fffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy) In the above example the 4G persistent memory range starts and ends on a 256MB boundary. We handle this case correctly when needing to handle cases that violate section alignment (128MB) collisions against "System RAM", and we simply need to extend that padding/truncation for the 1GB alignment use case.
