Umm, before I answer that, I have to say I found a new symptom. It only 
shows me the wrong values if I am logged in on the serial console. If I 
ssh in then everything is fine ?!

Which is a bit mad. It doesnt just affect diskinfo though, I get issues 
if I try and run 'geli init' on the drive on the console, but it works 
fine from ssh.

Umm.... Ok, that makes no sense to me...

So, the output from the nvme identify commands is the same both on the 
workding and non working logins, and is below.

-pete. [bit of a head scratcher!]
