I swapped my Lite-On drive for a replacement Samsung drive that Dell sent to me. As a result, I'm unable to help any further on this bug report. I returned the Lite-On drive to Dell for further testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is

After wiping out my Ubuntu installation with Windows 10 Pro and running the firmware upgrade, I discovered that it was an upgrade to the version I already have (48811QD). I also tried a separate DOS firmware upgrade program that Dell sent to me by e-mail, with the same result: Model:

Dell asked me to apply the following firmware upgrade, which fixed some problems on Windows: LITEONIT Solid State Drive Firmware http://www.dell.com/support/home/ca/en/cabsdt1/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=CWX68 The update program, though, works only on Windows. I'm waiting to find out from

I opened a Service Request yesterday with Dell regarding my Lite-On CX2 NVMe Series drive. The workstation group escalated the support ticket to their "High Complexity or Ubuntu" group and told me they would get back to me by tomorrow (in 24-48 hours). The last time this happened, there were 329

My system is under warranty, so I'll find out in the next week what Dell says about the problem. I don't see any way for me to upgrade the firmware on the device: http://www.liteonssd.com/en/pcie-ssd/item/client-pcie-ssd/CLIENT- CX2-SERIES.html I'm on firmware revision 48811QD, while you're on

No, the errors stopped when I reverted to the Ubuntu 16.04 GA kernel and X server on May 31. I have been running error-free for over two weeks with the "linux- generic" package version 4.4.0.79.85. It appears there may be something in Linux kernel version 4.8.0-53.56 that caused the problems, but

I'm adding the actual errors I saw, just for the record. What happens is that the root file system becomes read-only due to errors on the drive. My root file system is a logical volume on an encrypted partition (LVM with LUKS encryption), mounted and encrypted with the following options: $ mount

My NVMe drive failed again yesterday. I no longer think the errors are due to the APST support. I'm starting to think it's either something in the Linux kernel 4.8.0-53 upgrade or simply a problem with the drive hardware or firmware. The time-line of the errors is shown below. Note that I never
