fsmithred, huge thanks!
I wish I could authoritatively say what the naming scheme ends up being when more than one of the pcie slots is filled with an m.2 drive. My laptop has 4 available slots. My drive (Samsung 950 Pro) ends up being named nvme0n1 It is a 512 Gb drive... It is in slot 0 on the main board. Obviously, 3 slots free/empty. My educated 'guess' would be that the numbers correspondingly then progress according to slots utilized on the main board. i.e. another identical drive to mine inserted into slot 2 on the main board would end up being nvme2n1. The 'p' designator is obviously 'partition'. I've had as many as 13 partitions and this naming scheme, nvme0n1p13, has never changed.
Once I begin partitioning it that changes to nvme0n1p1, nvme0n1p2, etc.
Further relevant mentions, I have UEFI enabled in BIOS, and Legacy disabled basically, as well as Secure Boot disabled. nvme0n1p1 is formatted vfat, is 1 Gb, boot flag set, ESP set.
nvme0n1p2 is a swap partition, 8 Gb's.
nvme0n1p3 is where / is installed to and is formatted ext4.
nvme0n1p4 is where /home is installed to and also ext4.
I do currently have a Manjaro install on partions nvme0n1p10 and nvme0n1p11. It is also a UEFI enabled and running up to date distro.
More than happy to help in any way I can. Your installer allows me to run my favorite distro! VastOne created it, VSIDO.
Again, HUGE thank-you for this!
No matter how smart you are you can never convince someone stupid that they are stupid.
