Booting from NVMe drive (In Argon40 case)

[Sehnsucht]

Looks like it can see the device sda but no partition on it.

Code:

pi@somebox:~ $ sudo lsblk
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda           8:0    0  3.6T  0 disk 
└─sda1        8:1    0  3.6T  0 part /media/USB4tbMusic
mmcblk0     179:0    0 29.7G  0 disk 
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1    0  256M  0 part /boot
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2    0 29.5G  0 part /

Is there anything in /var/log/syslog relating to a failure to mount one?

Code:

pi@somebox:~ $ sudo blkid
/dev/mmcblk0p1: LABEL_FATBOOT="boot" LABEL="boot" UUID="A248-68DA" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="86ac5767-01"
/dev/mmcblk0p2: LABEL="rootfs" UUID="2c4ec460-c619-4347-ba40-ca4b1780056e" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="86ac5767-02"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="USB4tbMusic" UUID="2577a29d-d425-4f6e-a43b-b79a95ed503b" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="e2fe89d7-142f-4649-9f62-c1d671e3640f"

Probably unrelated but slightly odd perhaps that you have RaspiOS 11.5 and mine's 11.6 but we're both on the same version of moOde.  I've made a few changes to my install for infra-red support but I've not run apt-get upgrade. Maybe the different "Platform" explains it.

Code:

20230218 111024 worker: moOde     (8.2.5 2023-01-20)
20230218 111024 worker: RaspiOS   (11.6)
20230218 111024 worker: Kernel    (5.15.84-v8+ #1613)
20230218 111024 worker: Platform  (Pi-4B 1.1 2GB)
20230218 111024 worker: ARM arch  (aarch64, 64-bit)
20230218 111024 worker: MPD ver   (0.23.11)

Thanks very much for getting back here...I'm struggling!

I'd just run update and apt-get upgrade before your reply....so I'm now on 11.6

Not sure what this is showing...sudo blkid....but thought I'd run it anyway


pi@moode:~ $ sudo blkid
/dev/mmcblk0p1: LABEL_FATBOOT="boot" LABEL="boot" UUID="3EEE-AE80" BLOCK_SIZE12" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="d73bf2fe-01"
/dev/mmcblk0p2: LABEL="rootfs" UUID="5aa7cb8c-b4db-4189-9f63-56460b5fd7ef" BL_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="d73bf2fe-02"

I don't know how to look in /var/log/syslog I'm afraid

You should never run upgrade on moOde - you've voided the warranty, I'm afraid!  moOde always has exactly the correct version of everything.  I'd be surprised if it has any effect on mounting partitions but who knows.

You can see the contents of any file using cat, eg:

Code:

cat /var/log/syslog

It's possible it's just an empty/unformatted/unpartitioned drive.
