NVME model does not show up

[Jeremy Soller]

The Model field for NVME drives is blank. I believe this issue comes from udisks2, and then from udev.

udisks2 has a function for getting the model which returns blank, udisks_drive_get_model

udev has a parameter that should be returned for a disk if it has a model, ID_MODEL

The Linux kernel exposes the true model in a sys file, /sys/block/nvme0n1/device/model

This data should be displayed in GNOME Disks when available, but is not.

Attached is a screenshot of the expected behavior, with a model set

Attached is the current behavior, no Model is set

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jeremy Soller (jackpot51)]

Finally, the kernel model from a SATA drive:

$ cat /sys/block/sda/device/model
Samsung SSD 850

And from an NVME drive:

$ cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/device/model
Samsung SSD 950 PRO 256GB
