I verified that the -proposed package does create the NVMe disk/by-id/ serial number symlink for each drive. However, there's unfortunately a bug in the way it does it, which still exists upstream. I opened this upstream udev bug for the problem: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4833
The issue is any NVMe drives that include whitespace will break the way udev creates symlinks; e.g. if the model string is "XYZ Corp NVMe drive" then instead of creating: /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-XYZ Corp NVMe drive_SERIAL -> ../../nvme0n1 it creates: /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-XYZ -> ../../nvme0n1 /dev/Corp -> nvme0n1 /dev/NVMe -> nvme0n1 /dev/drive_SERIAL -> nvme0n1 So for NVMe drives that *do not* contain spaces in their model and serial strings, the -proposed package works correctly, but for NVMe drives that *do* contain spaces (or other chars that shouldn't be in a symlink, e.g. /$%?,), the -proposed package will create incorrect symlinks. ** Bug watch added: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues #4833 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4833 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642903 Title: introduce disk/by-id (model_serial) symlinks for NVMe drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1642903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
