Private bug reported: Every time you run an nvme format on a Intel NVMe drive (whether specifying the secure/crypto erase options or not), the format apparently works (drive is wiped clean) but the drive's admin queue (queue 0) times out, making the nvme device driver flag an error and reset the controller.
Here's an example: nvme-cli-1.5 # ./nvme format -l 0 /dev/nvme1 NVME Admin command error:ABORT_REQ(7) nvme-cli-1.5 # dmesg|tail -1 [79725.404910] nvme nvme1: I/O 151 QID 0 timeout, reset controller Patch required: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/62843c2e4226057c83f520c74fe9c81a1891c331 Request you to include the patch for LTS kernel 4.15 of Ubuntu 18.04 ** Affects: dell-poweredge Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Information type changed from Public to Private ** Also affects: dell-poweredge Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797587 Title: Intel NVMe drives timeout when nvme format is attempted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-poweredge/+bug/1797587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
