Hi all, I just rebuilt my system adding a new SSD, switching to BTRFS and systemd-boot. But now I’m getting random crashes. Could this be a bad ssd?
Any help appreciated
Jose
These messages are from the nvme drive.
Edit: Did you do a new install? Is there another SSD?

Ok so this is what happened, I stupidly applied thermal tape (which didn’t stick well) to the bottom of the SSD. Didn’t notice that the SSD already had thermal tape on it, yes I should have noticed that the black tape was advertised as thermal tape. But more importantly I noticed that the SSD wasn’t set properly, so removing the drive, removing the redundant tape which allowed it to sit in it’s socket better and reinstalling it fixed the issue! Just like the old days pull the card out of the slot and reinstall.
