Comment 4 for bug 1735839

subscribed ~field-critical

Considering https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1691694 and some other design issues which make Juju storage not applicable for day 2 operations when used with MAAS for now this lp has been re-qualified into a bug by FE as, besides Juju storage, there is no way to logically tie dnames in MAAS with wwn/eui identifiers (stored as idpath parameter) and use them in charm config values to identify storage devices without partition tables/superblocks in a persistent way.

There are two types of NVME devices below SSDPE21K375GA and SSDPE2KX040T7 while they all appear as /dev/nvme<something>. dnames pointing to persistent symlinks are needed for them to be logically meaningful.
