Kernel 5.4 Can’t Read NVMe Partitions

Strike three for Kernel 5.4: it won’t read the partitions of some NVMe drives that do not strictly adhere to the NVMe specification.

State

Broken.

A fixing patch has landed in 5.5-rc2 and will be backported to 5.4. Just wait.

Workarounds

  • Downgrade kernel to < 5.4
