I don't have root on nvme, just my xfstests device, but I still didn't see the problem, neither did my various nvme development setups. > I opened a bug against SUSE to tell them to turn it on: > > https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965497 > > The second problem is that there's currently no way to transition to > using the serial attribute the way the udev 60-persistent-storage.rules > are written, so if distros have some by-id hack, it will have to be > maintained for a while.
