NVme intall usage? - tkudog - 11-07-2021

I installed an SSD in my pinebook pro.  It is there, lsblk shows

NAME         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS 
...
nvme0n1      259:0    0 931.5G  0 disk  

But the disk doesn't show up in Dolphin?  The wiki says you can use it as a data disk.  What am I missing?

Found the solution in https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10366

"Just an FYI for folks that have installed a new NVME drive, but don't know what to do with it.

It needs to be partitioned, formatted and mounted for you to use it.  If you're not used to installing drives on computers, this may not be obvious.

Here is a decent tutorial of how to do that:  https://www.digitalocean.com/community/t...s-in-linux"

Then you may have to change owner to access it like you want.

Started with moving /var to nvme this week, messed it up but will make a write-up when it works.
