[SOLVED] HDPARM on NVMe SSD not working?

I've just booted into the shell from the Arch iso that I've put on a USB Stick. The SSD is a "KXG50ZNV512G NVMe TOSHIBA 512GB" in a Dell XPS 9370. I now want to secure erase the whole SSD but when I do

hdparm -I /dev/nvme0n1

I get:

/dev/nvme0n1:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

You want to use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvme-cli and take a look at

man nvme-format

Don't necrobump...  Why would you run that? Did you intend to hit another drive?

You are most likely unable to do something about this and will need to reinstall.  If you actually think and want to try and do something about it open a new thread.

Closing.
