no sentinel files… only resize-datapart.log
I think I found the bug.
df reports normal size:
overlay 246G 2.1G 231G 1% /
but when I mount Internal storage using another volumio it seems cifs reports random numbers instead of real size.
Version 4.19.106+ is obsolete
I updated the git repo with 4.19.126 headers, it needs volumio version >= 2.781
Whether you need additional firmware I cannot say.
Read the kernel log with dmesg and check. There should be a message about missing firmware if it is the case.

thank you! I’v solved questions!
I make 4.19.126kernel,than use your new 2781 img,
sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms, BCM4360 work well.
The new img seems include all firmwares.
Hi, i just installed volumiobuster-2.781-2020-06-16-x86.img and it works fine for me for the moment, but i don’t see anything in the ‘search plugins’ section. Is this normal for the beta releases?
Regards,
I am still having random skipping while playing multiple different 192khz/24bit FLAC files. This is music local to Volumio. No network involved. I am able to play the same file from the same HDD across the network on my windows PC using VLC just fine.
No other services are using this HDD, it is dedicated to music. Volumio has settings at 8MB buffer and 40% prior to playing. I’m on the latest OTA.
How do I help troubleshoot? 
Interesting.
I will test but could you first please confirm that the file you linked is a legal public copy? Otherwise please look for one that is.
Here is a public file from: https://archive.org/details/Furthur2010-11-21.ARM.AKG480BCK69SD744T192-24.TapSecFlac24-192
I right click, save as this file from the above page https://archive.org/download/Furthur2010-11-21.ARM.AKG480BCK69SD744T192-24.TapSecFlac24-192/Fur2010-11-21akgarms103CumberlandBlues.flac
Pressing play, playback starts in less than 0.5 seconds.
Playthrough:
-
Stutter time: 2:44…it will skip multiple times each playthrough.
-
Stutter Time: 1:59, 2:18, 2:51… etc
-
Stutter Time: 2:13, 4:17, etc.
The computer running Volumio has had no workload changes, no extra HDD streams, no new tasks. The only button I clicked was “back” to start the song over for each playthrough.
Is there a way to view Volumio’s resource utilization to see where it is bottlenecking or what it is running out of? Is there a way to test/verify if the buffer size and % selected in settings are actually getting put into effect? I did a restart and a full shutdown/start of Volumio to ensure that wasn’t the problem.
First, Windows is completely different from Linux (different OS, different drivers etc), better not to draw conclusions from comparing the two. You’re only saying that it works on a specific windows setup. Many suppliers make sure Windows works and leave the rest to the Linux community.
With Linux it is a bit more complicated, it depends on which audio card you are using and the available alsa drivers with it.
Tried your tracks, no issues with my setups (Intel NUC, HP and Asus Notebook, Gigabyte and ASRock motherboard based own builds).
Not sure what your setup is and what your audio output is
Is it possible with this version to install Volumio on a m.2 nvme disk?
Yes, that should be ok when you take the beta version. Please give us a little feedback, also when it works,
On my AsRock based PC this works fine on an M2 connector.
Thanks, I will.
Which beta version? I already use volumiobuster-2.775-2020-05-07-x86 because my wifi module doesn’t work with the regular version. I have an asrock h370m-itx/ac.
I see there is also a newer one? volumiobuster-2.781-2020-06-16-x86. Should I use that one?
You can set test mode on “http:///dev” and then perform an update in the system menu. But your current version has nvme support already
I did a fresh install with volumiobuster-2.781-2020-06-16-x86 from usb, but when writing to m.2 disk at 95% it says ‘Cannot prepare system for resize’.
Used disk is a western digital black sn750 250gb.
I’m not drawing conclusions based on windows - rather - just saying that the audio files are OK - not broken.
Also, I’m proving that the NAS is capable of serving that file to a client device without stuttering in data transfer.
Is there a htop or other type of command you recommend that can be watched in realtime during file playback to see if the buffer is being drained, CPU is maxing out or other negative occurrence? I’m unsure how to monitor the buffer directly.
Well, thanks for the help. I pay for Volumio but there are free players out there who give better service than Volumio. What a shame!
You are free to use any player software you like.
My debugging has not finished yet, I do this unpaid as a volunteer in my free time. At the moment there is too little of that.
Btw. You pay for myVolumio, not for the free Volumio software, which this beta is an (unsupported) part of.
I’m here because for the supported (production) version you need 5 year old hardware.
Anyway, nothing personal.
This is a topic about improving Volumio support for x86 devices. As I’m sure you’re aware, x86 devices are extremely varied, and changing at a considerable pace. This can/does cause problems, especially if specific kernel versions are required for the hardware. We are trying to work through these changes to allow Volumio to provide the experience that everyone wants. If you have a problem with your MyVolumio subscription, then you should address it to the appropriate place, rather than bring it into this general Volumio topic please.
