Is my NVME drive going bad? My drive is formatted xfs if that matters. This is my 2nd cache drive

(all of this was highlighted in RED.) Server went down and I pulled this from my logs:

Nvme device is dropping offline:

Oct 7 11:45:55 Metamorphic kernel: nvme nvme1: Device not ready; aborting reset, CSTS=0x1

Oct 7 11:45:55 Metamorphic kernel: nvme nvme1: Disabling device after reset failure: -19

Try this: on the main GUI page click on the flash drive, scroll down to "Syslinux Configuration", make sure it's set to "menu view" (top right) and add this to your default boot option, after "append initrd=/bzroot"

nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off

e.g.:

append initrd=/bzroot nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off

Reboot and see if it makes a difference.
