Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    x = device number
    y = partition number

    NVMe device names follow this pattern: nvme n , where: is an integer that is assigned by Linux during the boot process. The first NVMe device that is detected is assigned 0

    You also can have a 'c' in there, when it wants to model multipath nvme...

    I still don't understand the point of namespaces. I guess it's less overhead to pass through a namespace to a VM rather than having a virtualised disk image or bind mount.

    The other dragons aren't specifying a partition

    So the 3rd dragon should just be /dev/nvme%d
