[5.3.*] nvme issue

Linux-guru's,


When I boot this workstation, the nvme disks appear in /dev/ without
their partitions. fdisk shows there are partitions but cannot write a
new partitions table, mentions a busy disk.
These processes are busy with the nvme disks:

root 236 2 0 13:08 ? 00:00:00 [nvme-wq]
root 237 2 0 13:08 ? 00:00:00 [nvme-reset-wq]
root 238 2 0 13:08 ? 00:00:00 [nvme-delete-wq]

If I kill these, (re)write a partition table the partitions appear in
/dev/ and can be used.

How do I prevent this situation from occurring? I want my partitions
visible.

(fedora 30, kernel 5.3.7, etc, etc)


Also: a `make install` of the kernel does not put the current
/etc/crypttab in the ramdisk. How to force this so that the crypttab is
updated?


Kind reghards,
Udo
