Snakeoil 1.4.0 (High End)

Moving the SO config files sounds good, but I wonder if the USB boot drive idea might be just as good, although as I type this I also wonder if the speed of NVMe might be worthwhile for frequently accessed files like the indexes.

I have a very early RPi 5, but have attempted to update the firmware, but it's still refusing to boot from USB or NVMe. So it looks like the upgrade didn't take. So back to Square One.

Edit: The firmware is definitely updated but I cannot boot from either the NVMe or USB drives in Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS. It looks like I may have a faulty RPi 5.

Try and add the following to your config.txt file

Code:

program_usb_boot_mode=1

Make sure you connect your USB to the blue USB ports and not the black ones.

Or try and look up the Internet for some guides. With all my Pis (4 and 5) I have set it up to try USB boot first than fallback to microsd second. It's been so long now I actually do not really how I did it..

The best solution is probably still PCI-e bus to NVMe though, but this is not something I have tried myself personally.
