Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I read quite some stuff of the more general kind about NVMe, the |
| 4 |
technoloy etc...and would not state to be sure of haveing understood |
| 5 |
all that ... |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Currently I have installed (physically) a NVMe drive, which is |
| 8 |
unaltered and in the state as the company has delivered it. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This drive should become my boot drive with a complete root system. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I read something about NVMe-fabric which seems to me like a network |
| 13 |
enable access to that drive, which I don't need. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Then there was something mentioned about namespaces, which should |
| 16 |
be allocated smaller than the physical drive. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Is this really needed - just to boot from this SSD? |
| 19 |
Or is it sufficient (and harmless for the SSD) to just |
| 20 |
partitioning and format the drive? |
| 21 |
Anything different than handling a harddisk? |
| 22 |

| 25 |
I found some hints regarding page sizes and erase block sizes |
| 26 |
when partitioning the drive. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
On several page in the internet I read, that this is |
| 29 |
"old magic"...the problems do no longer appear, since |
| 30 |
the controller of the SSD maps all that to the physical |
| 31 |
NAND by itsself. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Currently I got confused and want my diesel driven |
| 34 |
calculator back. ;) |

Cheers! |
