There is a new version out for testing: http://updates.volumio.org/x86/volumiobuster/2.781/volumiobuster-2.781-2020-06-16-x86.img.zip
No platform changes, just Volumio updates to the latest level
I will be changing to a new major kernel version the next few days (5.4.y) and see how this works. Hope for help from people with issues (which there will be).
Problem: I cannot install Volumio to NVMe. Platform - MSI Cubi.
Message: Install to Disk failed: Cannot prepare system for resize.
Any ideas?
Update: it’s funny, but system WAS installed and can be booted. Got a small problem/inconvenience: data partition is only 13GB while SSD is 240GB. Now I am reading manual how to resize partition in Debian…
Yes, this is correct. It is only the resizing of the data partition which failed, The system should work ok, 13GB is not what is should be though 
Could you check the boot partition and see if the resize-datapartition sentinel file is still there? If it is, it will retry the resize with each boot.
Strange, but I remember some people have hit this problem before.
Honestly no idea yet what the cause may be.
Thank you for your beta img. My wifi adapter is bcm4360,it needs driver broadcom-sta(wl),but after make && make install ,modprobe wl , and after reboot,pc stop at start up.
Does it need some other firmware?
please read the OP and supply the requested info
dpkg -i linux-kernel-headers from github.
there are errors.

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Version 4.19.106+ is obsolete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?
