Hello all,
recently I have discovered a new panel item called "xfce4-diskperf-plugin".
Unfortunatelly it does not work. Mouse-over brings up an overlay with the information
"Device statistics unavailable".
Research in Qubes users group has ended with no helpful outcome.
I already have startet some tries with sysstat (sar & iostat) and built-in
vmstat.
All these efforts had worked for itself.
The plugin is preconfigured for /sda but I only have /dev/nvme0n1 instead.
*/sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1/*
Output: "Error Information" (NVMe Log 0x01, max 256 entries) No Errors Logged
Smartd.service had a problem while detection my nvme but I was able to fix this
by editing file /etc/smartmontools/smartd.conf
-> comment out "DEVICESCAN*" and fill in: "/dev/nvme0 -a"
After further efforts I found that nvme's have only been considered since
version 6.5 of smartmontools
https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/NVMe_Support#SmartmontoolsNVMesupport1
"Smartmontools supports NVMe starting from version 6.5. Please note, that currently
NVMe support is considered as experimental. Currently implemented features:"
For more information I oversend you status output from:
1. systemctl status sysstat
2. service smartd status
(Please have a look in attachments)
The version of the plugin is 2.6.0
Even if the version is not stable, I hope that someone has already gained
experience in this regard and please share it :)
Thank you in advance for your effort!!
Kind Regards,
Fabian
