FYI I have captured the `sudo lspci -vv` output on the kernel 5.8 *before* the issue here https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/GtZyTWzKTd/ it is subtly different to the 5.4 kernel (which has not had the issue) in case that mattered.
I was also able to reproduce the issue again by causing high disk I/O, specifically I needed to have writes occurring for it to happen (I was recursive grep'ing the whole filesystem while installing apt/pip packages inside a docker container). This then froze the system for 120 seconds until write timeouts occurred, then the disk was remounted as read-only. After this point commands on the system would fail with I/O errors (even basic ones such as "top", although some such as "mount" still work). However our plan was to try to retrieve more information by copying the lspci binary and libs into a tmpfs system in RAM, so it'd still be accessible when the disk stopped. This almost worked, but it appears a few more configuration files would need to be placed in RAM (I could run "lspci --help" but not "lspci" or "lspci -vv"). Instead popey has suggested maybe using a USB key with debootstrap/chroot. (Any suggestions of how we can retrieve more information at this point are welcome and any commands that would be useful to run). Also as a note, if I use REISUB ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key#Uses ) to reboot the machine it enters a Dell BIOS/recovery thing that states that "No Hard Disk is found". Then after a full power off the machine works again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910866 Title: nvme drive fails after some time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1910866/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
