umbrelOS 1.0 reads only microsd storage

[smolgrrr]

Hi @Hans95 @Brcly @GUI @stoyan22 @nervologic @daryloliveira Just in case you haven’t seen it, we have patched this issue with 1.0.1- you can use this steps below:

Hey everyone, thanks for your patience, I really appreciate you bearing with us. We have a new image that includes a fix for the Raspberry Pi 4 sometimes not detecting USB storage. For any affected users, can you please:

• Shutdown your Pi
• Remove power cable
• Remove your microSD card
• Reflash it with Balena Etcher using this image: http://download.umbrel.com/release/1.0.1/umbrelos-pi4.img.zip
• Insert your microSD cad back into your Pi
• Re-connect the power cable to your Pi

It may take a minute or two to complete the first boot. After that, you’ll be able to access your Umbrel again at http://umbrel.local

To reiterate, your data is totally safe, no data was lost from your umbrelOS 0.5 install. The Pi was just not detecting the storage drive. With the new OS image your storage will be detected reliably on every boot and all your previous data and apps will be available again.

One thing to note is that if you hit this issue previously after installing 1.0 and you then created a new account, that account existed on the SDcard not your USB storage. Updating to the latest fix will mean your previous data on external storage will be correctly detected and used instead of the new account you setup on your SDcard. So if you created a new password during signup, make sure to use your previous umbrelOS 0.5 password after this update.

Let us know how you get on!

Also one more note, some users have reported Lightning Node takes a while to come back online after applying the fix. Nothing is wrong, it’s just rescanning the blocks since it was last online and can take up to an hour. If you think something else is up feel free to let us know and we can take a look at your logs to confirm.

Please note NVMe PCIe users, we plan to add support for your drives in 1.1 but USB/SATA based drives should mount correctly.
