Yesterday I noticed KDE Partition Manager crashes at every attempt to launch. I launched it from konsole and see this:
Ok weird. "nvme smart-log" shows no errors or issues. At first I suspected this might be meaningful:
unknown file system type "dos" on "/dev/nvme3n1"
Here is the whole konsole output:
3 other nvme drives have the same error but "" instead of "dos". This is probable because this drive is MBR and the other are all GPT. Most of that output shows KDE Partition Manager is attempting to read the smart output for nvme drives, which aren't really smart enabled. There's a different utility called "nvme" that does that sort of thing.
Opening the suspect drive with gdisk gets me this message:
but no errors if I open it with fdisk so this all seems normal. I guess I'm going to try and convert it to GPT but Steam is on it so I probably need to backup first. The other stuff in the disk is Win11 and UEFI for it, but I haven't booted it in over a year.
It definitely is crashing when trying to access nvme3n1 because I see the GUI pause when trying to scan the drive just before crashing. I haven't made any significant changes to this drive or is partitions other than removing a adding a test partition.
Code:

Here is the whole konsole output:
