RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dominic Robinson 2017-08-07 15:48:23 UTC
Description of problem:
The current smartmontools package in RHEL 7 (even the just released 7.4) does not support NVME storage drives. This is because the package is based on 6.3 whereas support was introduced in 6.5.

Could NVME support be backported to RHEL or if failing that could RHEL rebase to 6.5?

I am aware that this has been raised before here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1418868

^ However that was closed as a duplicate of:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1369731 

However access to that bug is restricted - so if nothing else this is to put some visibility around the situation.

There are a number of enhancements to NVME support in RHEL 7.4 and if support for these devices is to be provided, then it is very important that the associated monitoring tools also have support.
