My goal is to boost performance and maybe run VMs.

I followed instructions on this blog post to set up a simple NVME disk.

Then I found this blog post to https://developer.isy.io/blog/eisy-way and attempted to run the fl.ops script. I got this error:

[admin@eisy ~]$ sudo fl.ops setup.nvme.boot
executing from /usr/local/etc/udx.d/static
gpart: No such geom: nvd0.
 nvme0: WD_BLACK SN850X 1000GB
    nvme0ns1 (953869MB)
gpart: No such geom: nvd0.

gpart: geom 'nvd0': Operation not permitted
Wed Jul 24 11:16:55 PDT 2024|/usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/fl.ops: error: failed creating gpt partition ...
 

It's looking for nvd0 which doesn't appear to exist. I'm running UDX version 3.5.6.4.

I know should have followed the multiple partition instructions but am a noob to Linux and get this error when I try to follow the instructions to set up the partition system:

sudo gpart create -s gpt nvd0
gpart: geom 'nvd0': Operation not permitted

 

It doesn't seem to like nvd0 for some reason. It seems to be the same error that @Michel Kohanim mentioned could be due to a size issue in this thread. 

 

 

So for clarity, I'd like to:

1. Set up multiple partitions

2. Use one partition to mirror the OS to boost performance

3. Use the other partitions to run other services like CumulusMX

 

Any guidance?

I just got my eisy to upgrade my old 994i and I am running into this same issue after installing a 1t Samsung 990 pro.
