Public bug reported: Ubuntu 18.04.5 (Linux Mint 19.3) gsmartcontrol 1.1.3-1, amd64
I see that GSmartControl cannot work with NVME (SSD disk) correctly. I test with WD SN550 - 1TB, blue NVME drive. Problem: gsmartcontrol list my drive as /dev/nvme0n1. That is OK, but there is parent drive (/dev/nvme0) and that is not listed. /dev/nvme0 has some important information related to SMART, including value of TBW. Other issue is that gsmartcontrol cannot identify NVME disk, it list it as "Unknown model". I dump here output from GSmartControl and after that dump from tool smartctl. ======================================================================= ## gsmartcontrol (detail of /dev/nvme0n1 - 'Unknown model') smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-5.0.0-32-generic] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Number: WDC WDS100T2B0C-00PXH0 Serial Number: 2052FQSECRET Firmware Version: 211070WD PCI Vendor/Subsystem ID: 0x15b7 IEEE OUI Identifier: 0x001b44 Total NVM Capacity: 1 000 204 886 016 [1,00 TB] Unallocated NVM Capacity: 0 Controller ID: 1 Number of Namespaces: 1 Namespace 1 Size/Capacity: 1 000 204 886 016 [1,00 TB] Namespace 1 Formatted LBA Size: 512 Local Time is: Thu May 27 18:31:08 2021 CEST Firmware Updates (0x14): 2 Slots, no Reset required Optional Admin Commands (0x0017): Security Format Frmw_DL *Other* Optional NVM Commands (0x005f): Comp Wr_Unc DS_Mngmt Wr_Zero Sav/Sel_Feat *Other* Maximum Data Transfer Size: 128 Pages Warning Comp.
