Unfortunately, that's not an option. We need to be able to boot with
e.g. one NVMe device and hot-plug one or more devices later.
That was also my suggestion, but not necessarily as a "solution". It's
just to see if it works, which might indicate what the kernel could do
differently.
I see, thanks. Right now, I don't have enough NVMe devices available to
do such a test. I'll add it to my list for tests that should be done
though.
Thanks,
