[RPi5] How to mount the second SSD with Argon One dual NVMe?

    Hi guys,

    I tried searching the forum if there is already a thread with my question with no success. Maybe my searching skills is a bit lacking (spent an hour checking the results with no luck) .

    Just a quick background, I have been using my Raspberry pi5 with the dual nvme case for about 3 months now with no issues. I have a 500gb nvme on the first slot. Now I needed to expand and I bought another nvme to put on the second slot.

    Can you guys point me in the right direction on how to mount/access my sencond NVME drive? Not sure if the "Mount Network Share" is the way to go.

    I can see the drive on /dev/nvme1n1, I also removed the first nvme ssd(with the boot) to make sure the drive is not faulty and I can see it. I even tried the imager and it is being seen.

    Thanks in advance for the help guys!

    What i have:

    • latest Lilbrelec
    • Raspeberry pi 5
    • Argon ONE v5 case with dual nvme slot

    Code
    umount -f /dev/nvme1n1
parted -s /dev/nvme1n1 mklabel gpt
parted -s /dev/nvme1n1 mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
mkfs.ext4 -L DISKLABEL /dev/nvme1n1p1

    Something like that ^ should do it - I'm typing commands from memory so syntax might not be 100% correct. The commands force unmount any existing partition (might fail if there isn't one) and then create a GPT partition scheme, create an EXT4 partition that's sized to be 100% of the disk, and then format the filesystem with "DISKLABEL" as the disk label. On reboot the drive should be auto-mounted under /var/media/DISKLABEL.
