nVME crashes system

[mamboman777]

@mamboman777, The Wiki instructions were updated to show the "-s" option for saving the settings.

There is at least 1 NVMe that does not allow "-s". If your NVMe is like that, a startup script might be in order.

That number might be 2, now, but I can't recall the other drive that wouldn't accept saving. Tried on my Sabrent Rocket Nano last night, and it wouldn't accept the -s flag, either.

Here you go: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...r_limiting

You may need to install nvme-cli first.

I think it would be helpful to list "first, install nvme-cli" in the wiki.  It took me a while to figure that out.  

0 - 6.2w operational
1 - 4.3w operational
2 - 2.1w operational
3 - .04w non-operational
4 - .005w non-operational

Good point, just added "The package 'nvme-cli' is required to run these commands." to the section.

Have you checked for any firmware updates to the drive, from Samsung? Also, does it feel like it's running hot at all? It might also be useful to know what firmware version it's currently using. (I'm seeing several issues in the Arch forums with this drive, though they do vary.)

I have not checked for firmware updates.  From what I have read, the firmware update is an iso that you boot into.  Is that safe to run on a pinebook pro using the microSD?  It does not feel hot.  The battery life dropped, but not what I would consider drastic.  It went from approx. 8hours estimated to approx. 6 hours estimated.

what is the process for figuring out the firmware that the nvme is running?
