rear does not recognize nvme when trying to format it with "rear format" #3178
Comments
@xwhitebeltx Why do you want to treat a Micron 960GB NVMe SSD as an USB device? I guess you want to make a bootable UEFI device? Remember, a local SSD device is not safe to keep ReaR archives on. |
@gdha in real use this is indeed unusual. For testing it is useful though to treat NVMe as any other disk device - you can take a machine with a secondary NVMe device, make a backup to it as if it were USB, and boot from it for recovery. |
Any thoughts why we can't use rear/usr/share/rear/format/USB/default/200_check_usb_layout.sh Lines 12 to 13 in 2073e77
It seems to me like our code simply doesn't handle the nvme use case yet, it assumes a sysfs device path like @xwhitebeltx have you tried creating a partition and specifying that instead of the whole disk? |
thank you all for your responses! @gdha - we do as @pcahyna suggested, i have 2 local NVMes:
@schlomo - it works fine when the SSD is SATA, first time i'm trying that on an NVMe, |
@xwhitebeltx Actually there is no new screen. |
@jsmeix oh, nice =) |
@xwhitebeltx Personally I would like to fix it but unfortunately |
Stale issue message |
If your ReaR version is not the current version, explain why you can't upgrade:
OS version ("cat /etc/os-release" or "lsb_release -a" or "cat /etc/rear/os.conf"):
