SSD mounting fails due to multiple block devices

Support and Troubleshooting
1

I tried to install umbrel 1.1 on my raspberry pi 4 using an enclosed nvme drive connected via USB-3.0
I have another 2TB Sandisk Extreme SSD, which is connected via another USB-3.0 port.

OS boots up just fine and works well, but my 2TB SSD is not mounted.

system logs:

Though I do see that its detected,

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 Jan 26 21:48 /dev/sdb1

Is this due to the fact that there are 2 devices connected via USB-3.0 (One where OS is installed and the other one just SSD)? Can I manually mount it? Any help here would be really appreciated.

Some more investigation later…

This is likely due to umbrel not supporting multiple block devices,

From umbrel-external-storage script,
if [[ $no_of_block_devices -gt 1 ]]; then
echo “Multiple block devices found, only one drive is supported”
echo “Exiting mount script without doing anything”
exit 1
fi

Is there any specific reason to not support it? Does the team plan to support it in future?
