Nvme on RPI 5

[hjfisch]

Nvme on RPI 5 is not detected .
Hoping that rern will find some time to integrate Nvme-access or how to mount the Nvme .
Need to use moodeaudio meanwhile .

[hjfisch]

Sorry for posting again for this issue .
I've got Volumio and moodeaudio working with RPI 5 and Nvme SSD now , but rAudio is my favourite player . So , if anyone knows a workaround , please post it here .

I suggest you first try to follow the official documentation.

https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#nvme-ssd-boot
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/m2-hat-plus.html

Flash Raspberry Pi OS with Desktop to a SD Card.
Boot from SD card.
Use Raspberry Pi Imager to install rAudio to the NVMe drive.
Use raspi-config to change the boot order.
Shutdown.
Remove the SD card.
Restart.
See what happens.

Let's see the output of: blkid /dev/nvme0n1

[mcisysdev]

My attempt, SSH connect to the Pi:

$ lsblk -o NAME,PARTUUID

NAME        PARTUUID
mmcblk0
├─mmcblk0p1 0049246e-01
└─mmcblk0p2 0049246e-02
nvme0n1
└─nvme0n1p1 b6b2453f-01

Add the following to the end of /etc/fstab, using the PARTUUID of your disk

PARTUUID=b6b2453f-01  /mnt/MPD/USB  ext4  defaults,noatime  0  0

$ nano /etc/fstab

$ cat /etc/fstab
PARTUUID=0049246e-01  /boot  vfat  defaults,noatime  0  0
PARTUUID=0049246e-02  /      ext4  defaults,noatime  0  0
PARTUUID=b6b2453f-01  /mnt/MPD/USB  ext4  defaults,noatime  0  0

$ sync
$ reboot

That worked for me, but library update never ends, even there is only one album on the SSD.
My shell skills are not as good as rern's, I tried the verbose way.

[hjfisch]

/dev/nvme0n1: PTUUID="8ea8a5bb-7f30-46ca-97c4-038a164c1489" PTTYPE="gpt"

[hjfisch]

You are the man .
Working now and library update is working normal for me .
That's what I did :
echo dtparam=nvme >> /boot/config.txt
$ reboot

$ nano /etc/fstab

$ cat /etc/fstab
PARTUUID=0049246e-01 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 0
PARTUUID=0049246e-02 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
PARTUUID=b8a69041-d981-4d0e-b390-e97af4530be0 /mnt/MPD/USB ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0

PARTUUID changed , because I've tried it on my second player .

$ sync
$ reboot

B.t.w. If you cannot change the thumbnails of your Internetradiofolders , go to the "srv" directory and type :
chmod -R 777 http

[rern]

Please verify /dev/nvme0n1p1 works as well:

sed -i 's|PARTUUID.*mnt|/dev/nvme0n1p1  /mnt|' /etc/fstab

Reboot.
If it's still ok, it would be easier to enable from System settings.

[hjfisch]

@rern
Tried "sed -i 's|PARTUUID.*mnt|/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt|' /etc/fstab"
rAudio boots ,but does not scan the nvme and there is no entry in fstab .

[rern]

Try:

# if no /dev/nvme0n1p1 in fstab
echo '/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/MPD/USB ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
# reboot

mount -a

[hjfisch]

That's it .
My fstab is looking like this now:
PARTUUID=0049246e-01 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 0
PARTUUID=0049246e-02 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/MPD/USB ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0

No need to enter "mount -a"

It is scanning my NVme now fast like hell .
Thank's

[hjfisch]

Finally it is working with these settings :
echo dtparam=nvme >> /boot/config.txt

reboot

sed -i 's|PARTUUID.*mnt|/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt|' /etc/fstab
echo '/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/MPD/USB ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
$ reboot

Maybe it is working without "sed -i 's|PARTUUID.*mnt|/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt|' /etc/fstab" too , but I did not test it.

[hjfisch]

I did a final test now .
There are only 2 things to do :

$ echo dtparam=nvme >> /boot/config.txt
$ echo '/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/MPD/USB ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
$ reboot

This was done with a new instal of the latest rAudio image (20260111)

[hjfisch]

Did some further testing .
The only thing you need to do is :
$ echo '/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/MPD/USB ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
$ reboot

So there is no need for : $ echo dtparam=nvme >> /boot/config.txt

[mcisysdev]

Confirm.

$ echo '/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/MPD/USB ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
$ reboot
is all you need to do.

Btw. I tested with Compute Module 4 + NVMe not Pi5.

The somewhere above mentioned library update error is gone, I had some mess in the audio card setup, it was not related to the NVMe configuration or rAudio.

[rern]

Please try the UPDATE:

• Settings > System > Storage - Show fstab content
• Storage - NVMe > context menu:
  • Unmount - /dev/nvme0n1p1 line removed from fstab
  • Reboot to the same state before setup with echo ...
  • Mount - The line added to fstab
• Ready to use

[hjfisch]

NVMe is shown now in System-Storage as USB-Drive

[rern]

Just delete the line from /etc/fstab > Reboot > Mount

[hjfisch]

To get it looking like this :

I first needed to make a new directory in "mnt" called "NVMe" and than to add "/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/MPD/NVMe ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0" to fstab .
After a reboot , I had to update the Library .
All songs were found and working , but Samba does not .
So I added "[NVMe]
path = /mnt/MPD/NVMe
read only = no
dfree command = /srv/http/bash/smbdfree.sh" to smb.conf .
After another reboot I could add it as a Drive to windows .
But there is still some work to do .

1. No NVMe-Button in Features-File Sharing .
2. No NVMe-Button in Library update .
3. No NVMe-Button in Library-Show

[hjfisch]

@rern
Thank's for the update today (20260212) .
But there are still 3 points I'm missing .
No NVMe in Features-File Sharing .
No NVMe in Library update .
No NVMe in Library-Show .
