Thanks for the clarification. The -Di parameter indeed listed all 8 modules. I had forgotten that dmesg had some errors about two modules: # dmesg|grep nvdimm [7.746213] nvdimm: probe of nmem3 failed with error -5 [8.217295] nvdimm: probe of nmem5 failed with error -5 About memmap, yes, I forgot to mention that I expected no output from ndctl list when using memmap on a machine that has no nvdimm modules.

[Bug 1781268] Re: SRU ndctl into Bionic
A couple notes. It is possible that one or more DIMMs are disabled. You can list disabled devices by specifying "-i" to ndctl list: ndctl list -Di One reason for a DIMM to not be recognized is a failure reading the DIMM label area. As for the the memmap= option, it is expected that there are no DIMM devices associated with that. Only the ACPI NFIT provides the information to associate DIMMs to an address range, the memmap= option only specifies an address range with no associated DIMM information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1781268 Title: SRU ndctl into Bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndctl/+bug/1781268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I did a quick smoke test on an nvdimm-enabled machine and "ndctl list --dimms" returned a list of the modules (6 out of 8, not sure why 2 were missing), whereas on another machine without the nvdimm modules nothing was returned, not even with the memmap kernel command line option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1781268 Title: SRU ndctl into Bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndctl/+bug/1781268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The only fix in ndctl v62 that would rise to the level of a feature freeze exception is a workaround for a kernel bug: a91dff022cd7 ndctl: Work around kernel memory corruption However, it would be better to ensure that the kernel bug is fixed.

Ubuntu 18.10 is in feature freeze mode since Aug 23rd (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseSchedule), and I can't update the ndctl version there without a justification in the form of a Feature Freeze Exception (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess). Furhtermore, that ndctl v62 update has a new daemon which fails to start if the hardware isn't available, and that fails the package installation, which is something we cannot have. I will need to find ways to handle this in a more graceful manner. That being said, are there important bug fixes that exist in ndctl v62 that make v61.2 unsuitable for release in both Ubuntu 18.10 and Ubuntu 18.04?
