Hello list,

For the last week or two my NVMe SSD isn't being detected on startup. I get 
this error on manual invocation:

# smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1
smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [x86_64-linux-4.12.5-gentoo] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-15, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org

/dev/nvme0n1: Unable to detect device type
Please specify device type with the -d option.


Most things still seem to be working, but do I need to rush out and buy 
another drive? This one's only 18 months old. I don't really want to box up 
the machine and send it to Watford under warranty.

Two things that aren't working properly are KMail (surprise!), and BOINC, 
which insists that VirtualBox isn't installed, when of course it (more or 
less) always has been.

Regards,
Peter.
