Connected to PCI via ATA. So this is a perfectly normal internal drive. Sorry, I have no idea why it is not recognised as such. Also the inxi output doesn’t give any hint. Hopefully @anticapitalista or somebody else can make something of the findings, and why his make-fstab script states there has no hard drive been added. I’m at the end of my wits.
