Hi, today my new machine's EFI came up with a text screen rather than its fancy graphics, saying that my disk is about to fail and that i shall make a backup. No specific information about the problem, though.
It offered to go on with booting and everything seems fine for now. I executed smartctl -x /dev/sda with "0" or "No Errors Logged" where the headlines would suggest it is about errors. With the SSD i did smartctl -d nvme,0xffffffff -x /dev/nvme0n1 to get Error Information (NVMe Log 0x01, max 16 entries) Num ErrCount SQId CmdId Status PELoc LBA NSID VS 0 30 0 0x001a 0x4004 0x004 0 1 - 1 29 0 0x0015 0x4005 0x004 0 1 - (smartctl option -d nvme,0xffffffff works around === START OF SMART DATA SECTION === Read NVMe SMART/Health Information failed: NVMe Status 0x2002 Found on https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/1134 ) Further googling made me install "nvme-cli" and run nvme error-log /dev/nvme0 to get Error Log Entries for device:nvme0 entries:16 ................. Entry[ 0] ................. error_count : 30 sqid : 0 cmdid : 0x1a status_field : 0x4004(INVALID_FIELD: A reserved coded value or an unsupported value in a defined field) parm_err_loc : 0x4 lba : 0 nsid : 0x1 vs : 0 cs : 0 .................

Have a nice day :) Thomas
