Proxmox not detecting second M2 SSD

[Payee6908]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with Proxmox reading a second 2TB SSD.

I have 2 M2 drives:

• 1 x 2tb Crucial SSD and
• 1 x 2tb SanDisk Extreme SSD

Proxmox is installed on the Crucial SSD and boots fine.

When i run command below, it seems Proxmox isn't recognizing the new hardware.
The BIOS recognizes the new hard drive fine.

lsblk |awk 'NR==1{print $0" DEVICE-ID(S)"}NR>1{dev=$1;printf $0" ";system("find /dev/disk/by-id -lname \"*"dev"\" -printf \" %p\"");print "";}'|grep -v -E 'part|lvm'


I have read a few forums, but none have really solved my issue.
I basically want to create a new VM and use this entire drive for this purpose.

Any assistance appreciated

Running lsblk returns the below.
These are mostly VM HD space that are running.

Do you have sata drives connected? Some Mainboards can only do one M2 if there are sata drives present.

 

[Payee6908]

Nope, no SATA, only the 2 M2 drives

The motherboard is recognizing both drives, so the motherboard is fine.
I cant see the second M2 in promox at all

Live boot the system with another plain Linux USB & see if it shows up in lsblk .

You don't provide HW details - but maybe somethings up with those PCI lanes. How do both m.2/s compare gen wise. Have you got other PCI(e) devices on the system? Have you (ever) tested that m.2 drive on another system.
