Is there any way to set this up so NVMe is the default boot drive? Without using the emmc at all?
Thanks
So, to anyone else wondering about this, all I had to do was this:
1. Upgrade emmc install of Manjaro to latest.
2. Install NVMe SSD
3. Flash Manjaro latest to NVMe (only tested with Manjaro so far)
4. Edit /etc/fstab on the NVMe drive to not use UUID of the / and /boot drives, but the Linux Device /dev/nvme0n1pX
5. Reboot, and you are running on the NVMe as / and /boot
6. You definitely want to tune the drive for power consumption as well!
I realize there was lots of work that has led up to this point, but it was surprisingly painless, and the performance is great!
