Hi all,

I have a Beelink MEMini with 64GB built-in eMMC storage that I'd like to use as an unassigned device in Unraid for local backups (flash drive, appdata, etc.).

The issue: The eMMC doesn't appear in lsblk or anywhere else in Unraid - it's completely invisible to the system.

However: The same eMMC works perfectly when I boot Fedora 42 from it, so the hardware is functional.

What I've checked:

- BIOS/UEFI settings (no obvious eMMC disable/enable options)

- lsblk and dmesg | grep mmc show nothing

- Appears to be a kernel module/driver issue

Goal: Mount the eMMC as an unassigned device while keeping Fedora installed on it (only one OS boots at a time, so no conflict).

Has anyone successfully gotten eMMC storage recognized in Unraid on mini PCs? Any specific kernel modules I should try loading?

System: Beelink MEMini, Intel N150, Unraid 7.1.4

Thanks!

AFAIK Unraid doesn't have any EMMC drivers. Hasn't showed on the couple of machines I've tested.

This is not supported by Unraid.

That's too bad, thanks for the responses though!

Is this possible now with eMMC support being added in 7.2?

It may be, it should detect most recent eMMC devices.

I have the beelink me mini and does not detect the emmc.

Please post the diagnostics.

Hi, i run the script that was posted on another thread and the read out is:

It's normal, that part hasn't been done yet. It's recognised, and should be usable in the future when that becomes a possiblity.

This is expected; it may be usable with 7.3, for a boot device or normal pool.

Has anyone tried to boot on the beelink memini emmc using 7.3 beta?

Yes Installed the beta but don't see my emmc drive as unassigned device, but it's here, i even could mouont partition 1... it's standard windows installed on it as it was from factory. I'll see if i changed boot device to USB stick, maybe that helps...

Does it show up in the Wizard as a boot pool option?

Oh yeah, it was there when i started the wizard. Thought i need to see it as unassigned drive:

Migration done, closed wizard and rebooted, now i see it here, named it as "emmc":

Need to format the data partition with the remaining storage. 🤓

Very nice, they should mention it that emmc is not shown as unassigned but will be used in the wizard!

Else, very nice job! 👏

This is excellent news. Thank you for taking the plunge and testing it out!
