xubuntu 20.04 LTS , how do i compile and install this SSD driver?

[cdoublejj]

it sucks that in 2020 i still have to compile drives for a years old SSD but, this is the SSD i have and i need to know how to install the drivers, also what kind of issues will i have? i think it patchestthe kernel? what if i install other stuff like VMwarep layer that also patches the kernel?

nothing is stopping you form using 2 or more things that make use of dkms like virtualbox and nvidia drivers
What SSD do you have? is it attached via a raid card? or is it something more obscure like a ram based pcie card

actually neither, it's just an old PCEi SSD, Fusion IO 3.2TB

i know it's enterprise but, i don't think it's super obscure, it's said that newer kernels have drivers for it!

EDIT: don't i need some packages installed for the commands to compile and install this driver to work?

EDIT EDIT: okay i’m confused on how to use the git checkout command, evidently updates would be completely broken without DKMS, using
git fetch --all --tags brings up nothing

if it is supported by newer kernels you could get the 5.7 kernel from the mainline, 5.7 does not break the virtualbox dkms stuff

if installing this is compliated there are some tools to make it easy

i can't seem to mount the drive, the mount option is greyed out. can't format the drive BUT, it works fine when booted in to windows.

wondering if this is my issue: https://superuser.com/questions/2788...d-drive-ubuntu

NAILED IT! had to manual mount it and set up in Disks to auto mount!

$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/openSpaceI

Then had to boot in to windows and convert to GPT disk, THEN format, and finally sudo nano edit my fstab
