Description
The nvme self test commands in smartctl fail with a non-zero retval when specifying a namespace (e.g. /dev/nvme0n1). These commands work when specifying the character device (e.g. /dev/nvme0). This issue also affects other smartctl functionality that implies -l selftest.

I believe the proper name is 'nvme0'. Rationale: 'nvme0n1' is the first namespace, however 'nvme0' is the first registered device controller. If you use 'nvme0n1' I suspect there is no Self-test Log Data for this namespace, however the device controller does have the requested data. I suspect the invalid command is genuine and the function should not be changed.

If possible, please test a recent CI build from https://builds.smartmontools.org/

r5627 reverts parts of r5603 because my original assumption was possibly wrong. The broadcast NSID is needed to read the self-test log. Starting a test with NSID=1 should also work with single namespace devices. This matches with NVMe specs.
If possible, please re-test -t short
and -l selftest
with smartctl r5627 or later. Feel free to reopen this ticket if this does no longer work.
See https://builds.smartmontools.org/ for various binaries.

I re-tested on r5629 and confirmed this issue is still fixed. Thanks!

Please provide a full
smartctl -x
output for this device.NVMe specs allow NSID 0 (controller only, not yet supported by smartctl), broadcast NSID and individual NSIDs for the Device Self-test command. This firmware does not support the latter.
