Hi, we were revisiting this case which was lost due to Rafael no more being able to look at it :-/ In the meantime nvme-cli is in main (since hirsute via bug 1889688). But nvmet-cli still isn't packaged in Debian/Ubuntu.
nvme-cli just did a major release following the last 1.x [1] into 2.0 [2]. But while there activity is super-active it seems not to have consumed the functionality of nvmet-cli. Also I see others have indeed picked it up and document it as the only [4] way or along the configfs based way [5]. And yes configfs works fine, but is more burdensome than this tool - so we should have a look. But OTOH nvmet-cli [3] hasn't had any change since about a year, is it just stable or on the way out? Suggestion: as the next step, one should engage with the nvmet-cli project/people to clarify if it is still active & valid and/or if plans have changed e.g. to later consume it in nvme-cli? That shall avoid us picking up and documenting it just to then deprecate and remove it a bit later.
