I have an oldish rock960 board with an nvme ssd attached. on android it appears as /dev/block/nvme0n0p1 and I can mount it somewhere and read/write from it. however, the rest of android can't see it as an external storage device.

@suricrasia what if you mount it somewhere termux can see it and then access it through the termux file provider

@easrng oh shit I didn't consider that

@easrng feels jank but it works. I had to additionally symlink it into the termux data folder, but then it loads :D

I'm assuming I need to like, communicate with some daemon to tell it that a new block device is connected... or do something with sdcardfs? very confusing and very difficult to search...

it's kinda fun owning a single board arm computer that has a pcie slot because the internet tends to believe they don't exist, so most searches like "nvme android mount" go nowhere

weirdly, mounting the drive is only visible within a single su session. if I make a new session, I can't see the drive in the mount listing anymore..

@suricrasia is it mounted with FUSE?
