Hey there,

 

first of all: THANKS for the armbian project!

 

My issue is with an M1, fresh jammy xfce install on an sd-card.

 

NVME is installed (can be accessed after mounting it manually, no issues there)

 

Wishing to move system to this /dev/nvme0n1, keeping boot on the sdcard, as I understand this being the only viable option, currently.

 

When using armbian-install, selectin option 1 "Boot from SD - system on SATA, USB or NVMe" and confiming, next is an error message:

 

---

There is not enough free capacity on /dev/nvme0n1. Please check your device.

---

 

Did so, tried creating an empty (linux) file system, fat etc, accessible using mount, still the same error.

 

I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong and I'm missing something completely, could someone please help me out?

 

Thanks so much 🙂

Can you show us the output of fdisk -l of the nvme you are trying to use?

fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1

Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 238,47 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors

Disk model: SK hynix BC501 HFM256GDJTNG-8310A
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

 

It's a Gen 3 device, throughputs using iozone3 (or simply dd for a sequential write test) are normal (on wintendo levels)

I tried mounted and not mounted, with a 100% percent partion in default "linux file system" (ext4) and (v)fat(32), to no avail, it's always coming up with its complaint about no free space on the device
