Doug, I was informed by another user that he didn't see any other bug
reports related to storage not populating.  So I went ahead and submitted a
report since it didn't work on both machines.  As for that bug 1841037 - I
was unaware of that bug until now.  Other users have also concurred with
what I found so I let it be.  With all of that being said if this is indeed
a duplicate then that should be noted appropriately so users aren't chasing
around the same issue twice.  I just checked the bug report 1841037 and the
difference between 1841037 and mine is nothing actually populated in the
Storage window for me which would be because I only have the nvme drive and
I also noticed that a warning was thrown by hardinfo regarding the
/cpu/procinfo "Flags" field being in excess of 896 characters.  So I guess
it's up to you and your colleagues who are working out the bugs to decide
if this is indeed a duplicate.  By all means identify it as such if you
feel it's appropriate.

Sincerely,
Tim Brockway
