Posted April 14 So like many others after seeing linus’ video on this board, I went out and bought two along with drives. I installed openmediavault and nvme drives. in trying to mount the drives and create a software raid, i only see one of the four drives on each machine. I’ve reseated the drives, rebooted, etc but still only see one drive on each. If it were just one board, I’d assume an rma issue. But with two boards with the same exact issue, I’m wondering if something else is going on? Anyone else with this issue? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 14 Did you enable bifurcation for the PCIe slots used?

Posted April 22 It's in the BIOS. Read the manual for your board to learn how to get access to said BIOS and where you can find the setting itself. Do note: older systems do NOT support bifurcation of PCIe slots! If it's not in the manual, your board doesn't support it.

It's a SBC like a raspberry pi. It doesn't have BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 22 Okay, I missed the SBC part (I'd assumed this was a Chinese x86 clone board). What M.2 drives are you using, are they NVMe/PCIe or SATA? The key (sic ) is the key of the drive: NVMe drives only have one notch (M-key) while SATA drives have 2 (both B and M-key). A pure NVMe slot does not support SATA drives.

Posted April 22 Author They’re the same ones Linus used in the video. They’re NVME keyed drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 26 I had the same problem with only one NVMe drive being detected so I contacted their support. They said to update the kernel and now it works fine. Open media vault now detects both drives just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
