It is an adapter for an M.2 SSD NVMe disk to USB 3. It works fine on Windows, but on Ubuntu, when I plug it in, the drive shows for a second then disappears. If I try to do fdisk or gparted, it seems to lock something and I can't shutdown the laptop (it is stuck on the Disk Management Unmounting step. My info: 1) Release: Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 2) Package version: usb-modeswitch: Installed: 2.5.2+repack0-2ubuntu3 Candidate: 2.5.2+repack0-2ubuntu3 Version table: *** 2.5.2+repack0-2ubuntu3 500 500 http://th.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 3) What I expect to happen: I expect the drive to stay mounted 4) What happened instead: The disk is mounted then immediately unmount. Before I create the partitions in Windows, nothing mounted but the disk briefly appeared in the Disk Manager. Attached is my (filtered) syslog when I plug to the USB-C (notice the message advising to tell the developers about the model. Maybe it's just vendor info missing). I have modified 2 flags in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf: - DisableSwitching=0 changed to 1 - #SetStorageDelay=4 changed to un-commented then restarted. That didn't help.
