4286 error when executing nvme format #412
Comments
Sounds like your device has a security feature that's locked the drive. Unfortunately security implementation is vendor specific (or at least not defined by NVMe), so nvme-cli doesn't have device specific unlocking capabilities. |
Thanks for the reply! So I checked if there is any option in the BIOS to "unlock" the drive but I was unsuccessful. After doing some research I finally stumbled upon the Thinkpad Drive Erase Utility so I guess you're right. For anybody with the same issue (Thinkpad specific), just check out the link! I'll test this today and report back. In any case I guess the issue is solved / closed? |
So I erased all contents of my drive with the Thinkpad Drive Erase Utility and the performance is indeed better than before. Too bad |
If you have a Lenovo E590 with similar problem and Thinkpad Drive Erase utility does not support your laptop, go to BIOS and run Secure Wipe. |
[Hope you don't mind me spreading the possible solution] |
As mentioned by tomty89, a possible solution may be to suspend/resume your computer. |
Hi,
I recently was experiencing performance issues so I thought I'd try
nvme-cli
. Having read the docs I executed the commandsudo nvme format /dev/nvme0n1
without any success. I am getting the following error:# nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvme0n1
outputs the following model name LENSE20512GMSP34MEAT2TA which apparently is a NVMe device created by Lenovo?Anyways, is there any solutions to execute the command?
Thanks in advance :)
