Configure NVMe Storage
----------------------

The **Modalix DevKit** includes a 500 GB NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drive.  
Developers who require additional capacity can replace the pre-installed drive with a compatible M.2 NVMe module installed directly on the carrier board.

.. include:: ../blocks/install_sima_cli.rst

.. note:: 

    This command must be run directly on the Modalix DevKit.

Once ``sima-cli`` is installed, you can format the NVMe drive using the following command:

.. code-block:: console

    modalix:~$ sima-cli nvme format

After formatting, the NVMe drive will be automatically mounted at ``/media/nvme``.

To verify the mount and view storage usage, run:

.. code-block:: console

    modalix:~$ df -h

This command displays the available disk space on all mounted file systems, including the NVMe drive.

In case the NVMe drive needs to be remounted, run:

.. code-block:: console

    modalix:~$ sima-cli nvme remount

Both ``format`` and ``remount`` commands automatically add an entry into the ``/etc/fstab`` file, so the NVMe drive is always auto mounted.
