umbrelOS 1.0 reads only microsd storage

Umbrel recognizes 2Tb NVMe but bitcoin node will only try to load onto the micro sd.

Basically the same problem. I have a brand new Pi 5 with 8GB ram, a 64 GB Micro SSD, and a 2TB Crucial P3 Plus PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD drive. Umbrel.local shows only the Micro SSD card. Also, I am unable to SSH to the Pi 5. I can hit it with SSH but it reports “Permission denied, please try again.”. I see no way to configure the 1.0 OS to allow SSH access, so I can’t use normal Linux commands to see if the 2 TB drive is even recognized by the OS. In the set up instructions it doesn’t say anything about “pre formatting” the drive. So, do I need to flash a standard RaspiOS image to the micro card, boott to RapsiOS, formation the M2 SSD, then reflash to Umbrel 1.0, then reboot? And how the heck to I get SSH access to the Pi 5?

So. I formatted the Micro SD card to the latest RaspiOS image (bookworm), installed gparted, formatted the 2TB M.2 NVMe drive (GPT/ext4), reformatted the Micro card with umbrelOS 1.0 and rebooted.

Umbrel still doesn’t see the drive…but it was perfectly accessible from Bookworm. I’m sort of surprised and disappointed that umbrelOS 1.0 is not recognizing the drive, and so far the entire process is leaving a very bad impression. This is a brand new RPi 5, 8GB RAM, 64 GB micro SSD, and a new Crucial 2TB NVMe M.2 drive. It’s nothing fancy and that fact that umbrelOS doesn’t see it is a bummer.

What’s the answer from Umbrel? Any solutions?

Is this something that could be temporarily fixed by buying an external USB3 enclosure and then attaching the M.2 drive via the Pi 5’s USB3 port? Or buy flashing the UmbrelOS 1.0 directly to the NVMe M.2 drive, removing the micro SD card entirely, and booting from the NVMe M.2 drive?

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:

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

Same problem with latest 1.0.1. I didn’t even try 1.0.

I have the newest version of Umbrel 1.01. Initially the settings show the correct storage amount for my 2T SSD, but within a few minutes it shows I only have 19.2 GB.

Do you have a fix for this? Thanks a bunch!

28

Although I have UmbrelOS 1.01, I went ahead and followed the instructions you gave for Umbrel 1.0. The good news is that my 2TB SSD is reflecting the correct storage. As of this post, it is 1.96TB; however, the memory is only showing 1.74GB / 8.19GB when I have a 32GB microSD card. So now I have the opposite problem.

Please advise. Thanks again!

Hey @Braveheart! Thanks for reporting back. To clarify, “memory” represents RAM instead of the microSD card storage. Since you’re using a Pi 4 with 8GB RAM, the shown 8.19GB figure is being correctly reported as the RAM size, so there’s nothing to worry about! :smiley:

Ahhh. Thank you so much @mayank! Have a great evening!

@mayank, I have another question for you. Forgive me if it is a dumb question. I am very new to this and not very tech saavy. Can I log out of Umbrel and just leave my BTC Node app running to download the blockchain or do I need to leave both Umbrel and the Node app running?

Thanks for your help!

32

@warevista, I have UmbrelOS 1.01 as well. The update for 1.0 works for 1.01, too.

33

Sure, that’s a good question! Yes, even if you logout and/or close browser tabs of umbrelOS or the Bitcoin Node app, your node will keep syncing as long as your device is powered on.

34

Awesome. Thanks so, so much for your help and the quick response. Can I check back with you if I have any other questions? You seem very knowledgeable.

35

You’re welcome, and yes of course! Feel free to tag me on any posts here!

Hello,

i tried to update my rpi4 from 0.5.4 today.

After flashing the zipfile (os1. 0.3) successfully (baleaEtcher) it restarted and asked me for new username and password… Flashing again didnt help further.

In options i can still see: umbrelOS Version
0.5.4

Please help me :slight_smile:

Hi, same here!
I am on Rpi4 8Go of Ram.
Went to 1.0 => asked for new user
Went to 1.01=> user acces OK, but still have the button update to 1.0, and need to install Bitcoin core again. No installation happens.

Hopefully I have closed all my LND channels before updating. But still a massive pain because I can’t use my node.

38

Also getting the same set of issues. Flashed to 1.0.2 and getting a prompt to set up a new account. Also cannot ssh into my machine anymore for some reason. Please help! :grinning:

@NanaAddo Can you please confirm the output of the following command by SSH’ing into your device with ssh umbrel@umbrel.local and your Umbrel password:

cat ~/umbrel/umbrel.yaml | grep version

@Jimi Would you please be able to try the latest umbrelOS 1.0.3? This will most likely fix your issue.

You can update to it by SSH’ing into your device with ssh umbrel@umbrel.com and using your Umbrel password.

Then, on a Raspberry Pi, you can run:

sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.0.3/umbrelos-pi.update && sudo reboot

Alternatively, if you are using a Raspberry Pi and aren’t comfortable with running terminal commands, you can simply re-flash your microSD card with umbrelOS 1.0.3 by following the instructions here: How to update to umbrelOS 1.0

If you’re using the Umbrel Home, you should run:

sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.0.3/umbrelos-amd64.update && sudo reboot

Let us know if umbrelOS 1.0.3 fixes the issue for you!
