Hi Ralph, That was an interesting read. I wasn't up-to-date enough to know about NVMe over fabrics, nor that the Pi 5 can be attached to an NVMe SSD.

Linux certainly had at least some support for NVMe before version 5.0. I think you must be referring to a subset of the NVMe functionality being added in version 5.0. The earliest Linux distribution I installed on NVMe storage was Kubuntu 16.04.1, using Ubuntu's 4.4.0-36-generic kernel and later versions. It had to be installed from a modified ISO image, since the standard installation media wouldn't detect the NVMe SSD. Wikipedia says NVMe support was first added to mainline Linux in version 3.3.
