Let me ask a question.

If a PCIe nvme expansion card registers one nvme drive, but not the other three, which is more likely: the card is shit or the three drives are shit.

Note that the three drives do show up in lsblk, but show up s 0b.

I think I know the answer. But would like someone to say it to me

@thelinuxcast does your pcie slot support bifurcation? (look for a way to slice it up in the bios to 4x4x4x4x)

@thelinuxcast then swap slots in the card if no change, its drive if changes which you see then card

@whydoesnothingwork what do I set bifurcation at? It’s at auto right now.

@thelinuxcast usually auto is fine but if your using 4x nvme I'd try 4x4 or 2x4 just to see if it helps

@whydoesnothingwork that’s not going to kill my graphics card?

@thelinuxcast worste case your GPU would still work just with lower be but you should be able to see that in dmesg or something,

@whydoesnothingwork even changing the disks still don’t work.

@thelinuxcast when you swap the disks does it show the same drive or the other one? If its same drive showing then most likely your other is kaput if it switched which drive shows then probably the card

@whydoesnothingwork No clue how to tell, tbh. All the drives are identical. Though I guess I could take all but one out and see if it shows up, then just move it slot to slot

@thelinuxcast pcie 4x4

whydoesnothingwork,
@whydoesnothingwork@mastodon.social avatar

@thelinuxcast the most likely issue is your mother board either isn't set to or doesnt support pcie bifurcation

@whydoesnothingwork It's turned on, at least that is what the bios says
