description = """When activating end-to-end data protection inside qemu NVMe virtual namespace, guest can not read or write anything to discovered /dev/nvme0n1. Guest kernel has NVMe support compiled-in, when booting i get the following messages related to emulated nvme pi-enabled drive inside guest:

Same when trying to read anything:

And write:
