Kodi not seeing NVME SSD recognized in Raspberry Pi OS and formatted as EXT4

    I have a M2. 2230 Silicon Power 1TB PCIe Gen 4x4 UD90 (researched and was able to determine it is compatible with Raspberry Pi) physically mounted on an ElectroCookie PCIe to M.2 Key-M NVME SSD Shield ECRS SSDS V1.0 hat. Raspberry Pi OS sees the drive, but Kodi does not see it and I am unable to add files to my video library.

    The fuzzy screenshot shows a system booted from SD card with swap devices so this is presumably from RPiOS and not from an LE install. The same image shows the NVME device has no mountpoint so while the physical hardware is visible, it probably hasn't been partitioned and formatted for use, and for the same reason it will be physically visible but unusable in LE too.

    The simple fix is to partition and format the device, but are you wanting to boot/run from the NVME device or continue booting from an SD card with the NMVE drive used only for persistent /storage?

    I am fine with booting from the Sd Card. I partitioned and formatted the drive on my Mac using Paragon's extFS for Mac. Drive is partitioned and formatted ext4. I thought with that format, I would be fine. But I still can't mount the drive.

    I was able to mount the SSD this evening, but none of the files are visible. Kodi sees the drive but when I try to add files, no files are visible. Again the SSD is formatted ext4 and there are 211 files on the drive.
