# ls /dev/pmem*
Check the size of NVDIMM-N devices /dev/pmem0 to /dev/pmemN
# lsblk
Create xfs file system for all pmemN devices
# mkfs.xfs /dev/pmem0 
Create directories on all nvdimmN
# mkdir –p /mnt/nvdimm0 
# mount –t xfs –o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt/nvdimm0
Save the mount point and option so that devices are mounted on next reboot.
# echo "/dev/pmem0 /mnt/nvdimm0 xfs dax 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
