NVMe Storage

The Modalix DevKit includes a 500 GB NVMe drive. If you need more capacity, replace the pre-installed drive with a compatible M.2 NVMe module on the carrier board.

note

Please install or upgrade sima-cli before continuing. This guide is intended for use with the latest sima-cli version.

note

This command must be run directly on the Modalix DevKit.

To format the NVMe drive, run:

modalix:~$ sima-cli nvme format

After formatting, the NVMe drive is mounted at /media/nvme.

To verify the mount and view storage usage, run:

modalix:~$ df -h

This command displays the available disk space on all mounted file systems, including the NVMe drive.

To remount the NVMe drive, run:

modalix:~$ sima-cli nvme remount

The format and remount commands add an entry to /etc/fstab so the NVMe drive mounts automatically at boot.
