SSD connected over USB won't mount

  • Hi, I have a Pine64 rock64 board that I am running LibreELEC 12.2.1 on.
    I have an SSD formatted as EXT4 that I am attempting to mount over USB. The SSD drive is in a USB enclosure with external power.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to mount, and I can't make sense of the logs...
    Is someone able to help?
    Thanks :)

    Output from dmesg after a reboot with the drive attached is here:

  • Looking through the debug logfile, these lines seem relevant... though not sure what they mean.

    Bash
    Jan 11 13:36:04.363184 MobileKodi udevil[541]: mount: /var/media/sda1-ata-Samsung_SSD_860_: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
    Jan 11 13:36:04.363184 MobileKodi udevil[541]:        dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
    Jan 11 13:36:04.371122 MobileKodi kernel: EXT4-fs (sda1): The kernel was not built with CONFIG_QUOTA and CONFIG_QFMT_V2

    One of the lines above seems to prompt to check the dmesg output.... again looking at those, I see a repetition of "kernel not built with CONFIG_QUOTA and CONFIG_QFMT_V2"...

    Code
    [   14.531981] EXT4-fs (sda1): The kernel was not built with CONFIG_QUOTA and CONFIG_QFMT_V2

    Again, I don't know what this means or why it's happening....

    EDIT: Googling this, I suspect it is because I created the EXT4 filesystem on OpenMediaVault which has support for quota metadata.... am I going down the right track with my understanding? And what are my options?
