> On the R6515, NVME drives are supported through a PERC S150 mini card. There's no m.2 slots or U.2 ports on the mainboard itself.  The S150 supports non-RAID mode, but that still leaves supporting a software-based PERC card as a PCIe switch for the 8 or 10 NVME bays behind it.

This doesn’t seem to be the case for Miroslav’s system.  There’s no special handling of the PCIe bridge/switch in linux where it does work, and there’s growing evidence that this is a case of FreeBSD not handling hotplug ports correctly.
