Multiple external drives found

Open ghost opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

During the start of Umbrel OS the following error is reported: "Multiple External Drives Found. Umbrel only works with one external drive of atleast 1TB size. Please disconnect any additional external drives and restart your Umbrel."

I installed Umbrel on a USB stick because the Micro SD are usually damaged. Is it possible to allow the use of a second USB device as long as it is lower than the other? For example, Umbrel OS will choose the external disk with bigger capacity as storage.

You can easily replace/reflash them, because all user data is on the SSD.

No, that's not possible yet.

Hello! I have same issue. I want to use additional storage for backup too. Moreover I want to use external SSD in RAID for nextcloud storage

It would be really useful to have the option of adding more than one external storage device. Is this a feature that is currently in the works?
