NAME
     ebsnvme-id -- NVMe disk identification tool for Amazon EC2

SYNOPSYS
     ebsnvme-id [-b] [-m] [-s] [-u] [-v] <device>

DESCRIPTION
     The  Amazon  EC2 "Nitro" platform exposes disks to virtual machines via the
     NVM Express protocol.  There are two types of  disks  so  exposed:  Elastic
     Block Store disks, which persist and can be detached and reattached to dif-
     ferent   virtual	machines,  and	Instance  Store  disks	(also  known  as
     "Ephemeral" disks), which exist only while the virual machine is running.

     Amazon Linux provides a tool  "ebsnvme-id"  for  identifying  the	attached
     Elastic  Block  Store  disks;  this ebsnvme-id is a re-implementation which
     also exposes some information about Instance Store disks.

     The options are as follows:

     -b      Print the "Linux device name" associated with the specified Elastic
	     Block Store disk.

     -m      Print the Model Number of the disk; this is either "Amazon  Elastic
	     Block Store" or "Amazon EC2 NVMe Instance Storage" depending on the
	     type of disk.

     -s      Print the Serial Number of the disk.

     -u      Identical to the -b option.

     -v      Print  "Volume  ID:" followed by the volume ID of the Elastic Block
	     Store disk.

     If no options are specified, ebsnvme-id operates as if invoked with the op-
     tions -v -b.

     If multiple option are specified, output is printed for each option, in the
     order -v [-b | -u] -m -s.
