Hi, I read quite some stuff of the more general kind about NVMe, the technoloy etc...and would not state to be sure of haveing understood all that ...
Currently I have installed (physically) a NVMe drive, which is unaltered and in the state as the company has delivered it. This drive should become my boot drive with a complete root system. I read something about NVMe-fabric which seems to me like a network enable access to that drive, which I don't need. Then there was something mentioned about namespaces, which should be allocated smaller than the physical drive. Is this really needed - just to boot from this SSD? Or is it sufficient (and harmless for the SSD) to just partitioning and format the drive? Anything different than handling a harddisk? Addtionally here https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SSD I found some hints regarding page sizes and erase block sizes when partitioning the drive. On several page in the internet I read, that this is "old magic"...the problems do no longer appear, since the controller of the SSD maps all that to the physical NAND by itsself. Currently I got confused and want my diesel driven calculator back. ;) Cheers! Meino
