GSmartControl & NVME drive

[psl]

Ubuntu 18.04.5 (Linux Mint 19.3)
gsmartcontrol 1.1.3-1, amd64

I see that GSmartControl cannot work with NVME (SSD disk) correctly. I test with WD SN550 - 1TB, blue NVME drive.

Problem:
gsmartcontrol list my drive as /dev/nvme0n1. That is OK, but there is parent drive (/dev/nvme0) and that is not listed. /dev/nvme0 has some important information related to SMART, including value of TBW.

Other issue is that gsmartcontrol cannot identify NVME disk, it list it as "Unknown model".

I dump here output from GSmartControl and after that dump from tool smartctl.

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

[saber716rus (saber716rus-r)]

I raised the issue in the upstream.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your bug report. Could you check with a udisk git master build as upstream requested?

[saber716rus (saber716rus-r)]

unfortunately, there is no way to get out of the master branch, but they released an upstream release with a bugfix.
https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/1121#issuecomment-1611711834

[saber716rus (saber716rus-r)]

but before the release, a test version for the linux mint fork will be needed.
