minus-squarejollyrogue@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·8 days agoNVMe drives can be partitioned by the hardware. There could be multiple drives on a drive and n# is the hardware partition.

minus-squarejollyrogue@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·8 days agoThat’s the name of it. 🙂 I was letting a dog outside and couldn’t remember the technical name. Under-provisioning the drive is the most common usage I’ve seen. Maybe passing it directly to a VM, but I haven’t tried that.
