✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_mi_cwarn β€” it's the Controller Health Data Structure (CHDS) but make it the Critical Warning (CWARN) part πŸ’– this is the enum where all the "bestie, something is wrong" flags live.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nvme_mi_cwarn {
    NVME_MI_CWARN_ST ,
    NVME_MI_CWARN_TAUT ,
    NVME_MI_CWARN_RD ,
    NVME_MI_CWARN_RO ,
    NVME_MI_CWARN_VMBF

};

okay so like, five constants, no cap, each one a different flavor of "your controller is going through it" 😭


πŸŽ€ Constants πŸŽ€

  • NVME_MI_CWARN_ST β€” Spare Threshold πŸ’… the spare blocks situation has hit the threshold and it's giving "we need to talk"
  • NVME_MI_CWARN_TAUT β€” Temperature Above or Under Threshold πŸ”₯ the temp went above or under the threshold β€” yes, both directions, she's an overachiever like that
  • NVME_MI_CWARN_RD β€” Reliability Degraded πŸ’€ the reliability has lowkey left the chat
  • NVME_MI_CWARN_RO β€” Read Only πŸ™ˆ it's read-only now, the writing era is over, periodt
  • NVME_MI_CWARN_VMBF β€” Volatile Memory Backup Failed 😭 the volatile memory backup did NOT slay, it failed

that's the whole vibe bestie, five warning constants and not one of them is good news πŸ’œ
