Now I'm even more confused. Several apps (including gParted, which has disappeared) say that the ssd is /dev/nvme0n1, but this app says it's /dev/sda. As I mentioned before, the drive that I was sure was called /dev/sda, an was add-on ssd. But the machine is all out of whack. In the meantime, I can't install imagewriter--it's a repo problem, apparently. ..
I don't have any nvme devices, so I'm not really in a good position to advise you. I think it may be that a device may be listed in both the NVME space and the SCSI space, I guess this is similar to what happens with USB, for USB lsusb will have an listing for the device and lsscsi will also have a listing. I see that lsscsi -v appears to try to list NVME devices, so that may provide more info. Then there is lsblk which will provide yet more info from the perspective of block device, including the structure of each sd device, for example: % lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 232.9G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sda2 8:2 0 60G 0 part / ├─sda3 8:3 0 60G 0 part ├─sda4 8:4 0 96G 0 part └─sda5 8:5 0 16.4G 0 part [SWAP] sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk └─sdb1 8:17 0 1.8T 0 part /home sdc 8:32 0 2.7T 0 disk ├─sdc1 8:33 0 2.6T 0 part /mnt/backup └─sdc2 8:34 0 101.4G 0 part /mnt/osbackup sdd 8:48 0 3.6T 0 disk └─sdd1 8:49 0 3.6T 0 part Michael
