Ubuntu – Errors while installing 19.10 on Adata NVME SSD (blk_update_request: operation not supported error)

19.10nvmessd

My Adata SSD was showing 100% health in Adata toolbox on Windows right prior installing Ubuntu.

During installation and after system was installed, I see those errors spamming in system log all the time:

blk_update_request: operation not supported error, dev nvme0n1, sector 332458505 op 0x9:(WRITE_ZEROES) flags 0x0 phys_seg 0 prio class 0

those errors are all the same, just different numbers each time

Other than that, I don't see any major system instability, but this error looks very suspicious to me. Also, I have > 3000 of such errors in error log, and it is even before 1 hour passed since I've installed the system. System log became very slow.

Smart log:

In nvme error log I see this:

Error Log Entries for device:nvme0n1 entries:64 ……………..

Btw, it doesn't appear in 18.04 LTS.

Does anybody know what is this? And how to fix that?

PS: Looks like enabling "Windows 7 installation mode" in my MSI motherboard BIOS made those errors go away completely!
