[smartmontools-support] NVME issues

[Thane K. Sherrington]

I have a WDC PC SN530 SDBPNPZ-1T00-1006 drive, and smartctl is having 
odd issues with it.  It's on an Ryzen based laptop, so it's using an AMD 
chipset in Windows 10 (I know the Intel SSD drivers don't work with 
smartctl and NVME, so I test those with Ubuntu).

Here's the issue.  The first time I ran the long test from a batch file, 
and the test didn't run at all.  I then ran it manually from the command 
line:
smartctl -t long /dev/sda
and as you can see below, the test completed.  I tried again with the 
batch file (which I confirmed was using the identical command line, and 
it failed with the output:
smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-w64-mingw32-w10-2004] (sf-7.4-1)

NVMe Self-test cmd with type=0x2, nsid=0xffffffff failed: 
IOCTL_STORAGE_PROTOCOL_COMMAND(NVMe) failed, Error=31


I tried it again manually entering the command, and now it gives the 
same error.

I'm assuming the NVME driver is to blame, but I wanted to check.

I would try a newer build of smartctl, but when I try to download either 
the the two latest builds (r5613 or r5612) it tells me "not found" for 
the Windows version.

Thanks for any advice.

The specs on the drive are below.
