Re: [9front] Install to NVMe (MNT Reform)

[alex-ml@posteo.de]

Hello cinap,

thank you very much. pci shows the following:

0.0.0:      brg    06.04.00  16c3/abcd  255
128.0.0:  brg    06.04.00  16c3/abcd  255
129.0.0:  disk   01.08.02  15b7/5019  0  0:20104004  16384  4:20100004  
256

Unfortunately I do not understand this output, is there perhaps a 
possible indication of such a problem with the pcie controller?

Please excuse the missing information: I am using the nightly build from 
yesterday ("9front-10499.reform.img") and I have not noticed any error 
messages (I do not see any warnings / error messages when booting).

On boot there are the following lines (regarding "sdN0"):
...
sdN (nvme): using 4 submit queues
...
/dev/sdN0: WDC WDS100T2B0C-00PX
/dev/sdN0/data
...

Is there any way to test the functionality of the controller?

Thank you very much and best regards,
Alex
