[Formatting NVME Cache Drive Failure]

I was able to figure this out. Looked into my motherboard PCIE slots and found out I was using a gen2 slot instead of a gen 3. Appreciate you trying to help!

Put it into my Windows Desktop and was able to format it. But still getting the same issue when its put back into the server.

[Formatting NVME Cache Drive Failure]

I don't seem to be able to format a brand new NVME SSD drive to use as a cache drive. I check that I want to format the drive and click format it then acts like it is formatting the drive.

I'm getting these errors:

Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: writing MBR on disk (nvme0n1) with partition 1 offset 64, erased: 0
Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy kernel: print_req_error: I/O error, dev nvme0n1, sector 0
Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev nvme0n1, logical block 0, lost async page write
Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: error: mkmbr, 1967: Input/output error (5): write: /dev/nvme0n1

Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: shcmd (1526): mkdir -p /mnt/cache
Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: /mnt/cache mount error: Unsupported partition layout

Could I have gotten a bad drive/adapter for it?

Thanks,
