Private bug reported: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a Dell EMC 14G server R740xd server with NVDIMM-N, update BIOS & NVDIMM firmware to latest available to customers. 2. Install and boot to Ubuntu 18.04 3. Notice that no pmems are enumerated. 4. Try #ndctl create-namespace -> Failure with device or resource busy.
Actual results: No pmems are enumerated, cannot create namespaces. If pmems are already present, then cannot modify the namespaces. Expected results: namespace creation should be possible Additional Info: * Seen with upstream linux-4.20.2 also. * Upstream bug report - https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/issues/78 * Upstream kernel patch: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2019-January/019435.html Request you to incorporate it in bionic and xenial kernels. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Information type changed from Public to Private -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811660 Title: Unable to modify/create-namespace over NVDIMM-N Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to Reproduce: 1.
