So, nguid can be same (0s in this case) for multiple devices. Is this valid ? Also, same nguid for multiple devices could be set, by the above scenario. No errors/warnings from either the nvme initiator/target. From spec, I see this: Namespace Globally Unique Identifier (NGUID): This field contains a 128-bit value that is globally unique and assigned to the namespace when the namespace is created. This field remains fixed throughout the life of the namespace and is preserved across namespace and controller operations (e.g., controller reset, namespace format, etc.). -- Regards Narasimhan V
