Just to confirm and in case this can help others who find this thread.
I ordered a new SSD nvme from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007078338018.html and received it today.
( PM9B1 128G 128GB M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe SSD Gen 3.0x4 Single-Sided Drive)
I mounted it and this time it just works fine.
If you need the steps to do it:
-
I started based on this thread ( Installing nvme m.2 on banana r4 - #6 by Rivia ), I installed the following:
block-mount e2fsprogs kmod-usb-storage-uas kmod-usb3 kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-nvme
-
Follow the instructions on https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/storage/usb-drives-quickstart from step 6 to 9.
Please note you will have to changesda1
to thenvme
(in my casenvme0n1
)
And it was all good.
Hopefully this can help others too.
