Gotcha, that makes sense. Voting from NVMe has worked out great for me, other than the issue choosing the root filesystem. Greg On Sat, Jul 26, 2025, 8:45 AM Tim Keller <turbofx@gmail.com> wrote:

Personally, I have linux running on the sd card and I'm using the nvme for storage. Though now I want to do some experiments with having it boot directly off the nvme..

I do like that the pi5 has a bios ypu cam interact with.

Can I ask what method you used for installing Linux on it?

I've got an NVMe drive in my pi5 as well, but all of the images I've seen expect to be dd'ed onto the device rather than a traditional install, which makes choosing a different filesystem or using LVM difficult.

I've been planning on sitting down and doing a debootstrap based install at some point, but if you've found something easier I'd love to hear it.

I recently got all the bits so that I can stick a 1TB nvme on my pi5! it almost makes it feel like a "real" server. I'll probably bring the whole contraption with me for the next wlug meeting!

Oh and yes.. I'm using ZFS for the filesystem!
