#1901 new enhancement

JMicron JMS581DL (0x152d:0x0581, -d sat or -d sntjmicron)

Description

I am a bit unsure if this can be handled by the drivedb, please change component if not set correctly.
I own a noname "M.2 SSD enclosure" with a JMicron JMS581DL inside. This bridge is able ho handle either M.2 SATA or M.2 NVMe drives.
The USB-ID is not known in the drivedb.

Unfortunately, the behavior depends on the SSD installed.

If I put an M.2 SATA SSD into the slot, I can get SMART attributes using
"-d sat". If I have an M.2 NVMe installed, this fails with:

Read Device Identity failed: scsi error unsupported scsi opcode

If this is a USB connected device, look at the various --device=TYPE variants
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

With an NVMe drive installed, I can use "-d sntjmicron", which works perfectly for NVMe. However, If I use "-d sntjmicron" on a SATA-drive, smartctl hangs.

In short, the way this controller needs to be addressed seems to depend on the drive installed.

lsusb seems to report identical devices whether a SATA or NVMe drive is installed.
The kernel, however, seems to know about the drive type, dmesg is different:

Is there a way to work around this problem?

Summary: Support for JMicron JMS581DLJMicron JMS581DL (0x152d:0x0581, -d sat or -d sntjmicron)

An auto detection of -d sat vs. some -d snt* would make sense but does not yet exist.

However, If I use "-d sntjmicron" on a SATA-drive, smartctl hangs.

This is bad news. In this case, trying -d sat first would work but not the other way round.

All we could currently do is to add two entries which tells the user to use -d sat or -d sntjmicron.

Leaving ticket open as undecided for now.
