May 3, 20233 yr Hi peoples, updating my old NAS (odroidH1 OMV) 1TB SSD New set-up: BPiM5 armbian bullseye - OMV samsung 2TB SSD installation up and running but... OMV or sudo fdisk -l cannot see new Samsung 2TB SSD (I have 2 of these, one will be back-up) I have connected ssd's via sata usb3.1 cable

May 4, 20233 yr Author Hi Werner Thanks for taking the time to reply. I spent many hrs lastnight trying to get these ssd's to show up with no success..... upon waking this morning i had an idea to test.... I plugged in a standard usb thumb drive next to 1 SSD and rebooted.... In the terminal i could see the usb drive and to my surprise i could also see the SSD I then opened OMV6 web interface and could also see both usb drive & SSD.. so! long story short, i ended up setting up both the SSD's for OMV6..... all good!.... BUT!! I found the problem: when i take the usb drive out it continues to work until I restart BPiM5 without it in place, the SSD's no longer show up. If i plug the usb drive back in and restart BPiM5 then the SSD's show up. So I'm now in the situation for this to work, i have to have a usb stick in place, not really ideal considering if i want to mount more drive's in near future. It seems that the BPi had no trouble seeing the usb stick and allocated a label for it which then lets it see the 2 SSD's and label them accordingly, all still runs fine when i remove usb stick.... until I restart without it. It's like it's messing with it's (a)(b)(c) allocations. I'm a noob, I have no idea what's causing this.... maybe the sata cables i bought (USB3.1 usap)?? I really wanted to get the 3.2 gen2 cables but the costs were mounting up. maybe i should have stuck with the standard USB3.0 cables? Or it's the ssd's themselves, I thought being samsung 2TB-870QVO's it should be less chance of issues? Kind Regards.
July 16, 20242 yr (I know this is an old post, but one I saw when trying to solve a similar problem with a 2TB USB SSD). Turns out the SSD was partitioned with MBR. I changed that to GPT using Mini Partition Wizard. It took about 2 seconds to do that. Once done Armbian worked fine with it. Hope this post helps other who may run into this.
