Intel NUC5i5RYH disks not recognized when Configured as MBR
Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2023 8:30 am
Short story: On my Intel NUC5i5RYH, when my SSDs are configured as MBR, BIB does not recognize them. When they are configured as GPT, both BIB and BIU recognize them just fine.
Some elaboration:
I have a classroom full of Intel NUC5i5RYH mini computers on which I want to install multiple Linux instances. This way, my students of group A can all work on the first Linux instance, and on the next day, my students of group B can all work on the second Linux instance, and so on.
For the moment, I am using BIU and GPT, and this works mostly fine. The problem is that I cannot really hide my partitions in Linux. So, for now, I cannot prevent a student of group B from mounting the work of a student of group A.
Therefore, I would very much prefer to use BIB, where I can more thoroughly hide the partitions from each other. I already updated the BIOS to the latest version and reset all BIOS settings to their default values, but still, the SSD refuses to show up in BIB when it is configured as MBR.
Any help is most welcome.
