Volumio 4 - can't see SSD partition

[Bigguy2018]

I’m running Volumio 4 with RPi5, nvme 2TB SSD, external Topping DAC.

Can’t seem to save my music onto the SSD…

lsblk shows…

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
loop0 7:0 0 692.8M 0 loop /static
mmcblk0 179:0 0 59.4G 0 disk
|-mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 366M 0 part /boot
|-mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 4G 0 part /imgpart
-mmcblk0p3 179:3 0 55.1G 0 part nvme0n1 259:0 0 1.9T 0 disk |-nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 366M 0 part |-nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 4G 0 part -nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 1.9T 0 part /data/INTERNAL
/data/INTERNAL

But in Volumio Music Library view there is no SSD - INTERNAL, NAS, USB only.

Saving to INTERNAL saves to 4GB mmcblk0p2 partition NOT 1.9TB nvme0n1p3 partition.

How can I save to nvme0n1p3 ??

Hey @Bigguy2018,

Can you elaborate your requirement a little bit more please?

From the details you provided, you are currently booting from a microSD card. Is this where you want to see a single NVMe storage partition to be visible?

However, if your aim is to boot from NVMe, then use the “Install to Disk” tool found in System (this option is available when booted from microSD), and boot from NVMe once the microSD card is removed.

Kind Regards,

Not the boot order - I want to store my music on the NVMe partition.

Previosly I accessed \192.168.0.66\Internal Storage (from Win PC) and copied tracks across to the SSD.
Now doing so copies to the SD card.

Hey @Bigguy2018,

The method isn’t complex.

Putting music source in M.2 SSD

please label the disk as “issd” or ihdd"

Public Beta Test: Audio Without Compromise - Refining the Future of Volumio on Bookworm

Hey @Raw, Thanks for your detailed report. You’ve provided a solid breakdown of the OTA from version 4.017 to 4.020. After reviewing both your setup and the Volumio backend source, the issue appears to stem from a mismatch between your manual mounting method and the supported automount logic used by Volumio. You mentioned: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/NVME sudo mount -t auto /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/NVME (nvme0n1p1 is my M2 SSD with Music) ... LABEL=nvme /mnt/NVME ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2 And: /mnt/NVME …

How to access music stored on a USB drive (SSD)

Hi gkkpch, thank you very much for your reply! Ahh, I actually didn’t find that requirement when I searched - sorry for that. Sadly, it still does not work: I labeled the volume to issd, now the drive gets mounted to INTERNAL, instead of USB as before: lsblk -f NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT loop0 squashfs 0 100% /static sda …

In a nutshell - you need a single partition labelled “issd”. rest - enjoy the magic!

Kind Regards,

OK, I’ve got a partition labelled issd

When I IP to RPi from Win PC I see…

\\192.168.0.66\
  Internal Storage
    |-lost+found
  nas
  usb

When I Try to copy music from Win PC to RPi 192.168.0.66\Internal Storage\ I get
FAIL - Destination Folder Access Denied
You need permission to perform this action
Which appears to be a File ownership thing which I can’t change within Windows Security permissions

(I can see volumio@volumio:/data/INTERNAL via ssh)

All fixed…

Repartitioned + formatted (Fat32) SSD on WinPC and labelled issd
Copied across music (1.4TB)

Made a new SD card with Volumio 4.069

Installed NVMe SSD on Rpi5 and Volumio saw all music AOK

All shows up in INTERNAL in Volumio browser page - can copy new music straight across to here \192.168.0.66\Internal Storage\Music
