However, an update:<br /><br />Newer versions of nvme-cli (I'm not sure when it changed) - like the one in Fedora 31/32's repositories - needs a little extra effort:<br /><br />"nvme format -s1 " throws an "invalid lbaf:255" error, but if you use "nvme format -s1 -lb=0 " it works perfectly after a ten second remorse timer. <br /><br />Hope this helps someone along the way!pacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676448.post-75100281017164671362019-05-28T13:04:15.915+01:002019-05-28T13:04:15.915+01:00If your SSD is from Lenovo, it'll be locked ou...If your SSD is from Lenovo, it'll be locked out. Even the newest Parted Magic can't factory erase it.
