Topic: [SOLVED] eMMC drive not detected...?

Hi :-)

I have an Asus E210MA laptop with a built-in eMMC storage drive, and I've installed an additional M.2 NVMe stick.

GParted Live detects the new M.2 stick (and any attached USB drives), but not the internal 64 GB eMMC device.

When I boot into Windows 10 and run diskmgmt.msc, both the eMMC and M.2 drives are detected.

Is there any way to get GParted Live to detect my eMMC SSD?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] eMMC drive not detected...?

See Running gparted from a Command Line in the GParted Manual for instructions.

Please report the output from this command so that I can see the name of the device and in future make GParted automatically detect the eMMC
drive.

sudo lsblk -o name,maj:min,rm,size,ro,type,fstype,label,mountpoint

Re: [SOLVED] eMMC drive not detected...?

Awesome!  Thanks for your work developing such cool software. :-)

Here's the output of the above command:

user@debian:~$ sudo lsblk -o name,maj:min,rm,size,ro,type,fstype,label,mountpoint

mmcblk0boot1 179:512  0     4M  1 disk                       
user@debian:~$

So mmcblk0 is that disk that isn't detected.

Let me know you need any further details.

Cheers :-)

Re: [SOLVED] eMMC drive not detected...?

Genuinely thank you.  You have identified a regression I introduced into GParted 1.3.0 which has cause it to not show SD/MMC cards.

Workarounds:
1. Specify the device name on the command line, as described above.
2. Use GParted 1.2.0.

Re: [SOLVED] eMMC drive not detected...?

No problem -- and thanks for the workarounds.

I tried GParted 1.2.0 and can confirm that the eMMC drive IS detected in that version.

Cheers :-)
