block size

nvme id-ns -H /dev/nvme0n1

may yield something like:

LBA Format  0 : Metadata Size: 0   bytes - Data Size: 512 bytes - Relative Performance: 0x2 Good  (in use)
LBA Format  1 : Metadata Size: 0   bytes - Data Size: 4096 bytes - Relative Performance: 0x1 Better

which means the disk support 2 block sizes. If so, you can change it with:

nvme format --lbaf=1 /dev/nvme0n1

note: this will format the disk.
