1 Hello list,
2
3 For the last week or two my NVMe SSD isn't being detected on startup. I get
4 this error on manual invocation:
5
6 # smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1
7 smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [x86_64-linux-4.12.5-gentoo] (local build)

9
10 /dev/nvme0n1: Unable to detect device type
11 Please specify device type with the -d option.

14 Most things still seem to be working, but do I need to rush out and buy
15 another drive? This one's only 18 months old. I don't really want to box up
16 the machine and send it to Watford under warranty.
17
18 Two things that aren't working properly are KMail (surprise!), and BOINC,
19 which insists that VirtualBox isn't installed, when of course it (more or
20 less) always has been.
