The firmware is updated.
Firmware Revision: EXM04B6Q
Hmmm. I have been running Samsung Magician on this Arch system for years. I get it from the AUR. It functions well, IMO.
As I showed in post #2, there is no directory named Samsung_SSD_850_PRO_EXM04B6Q or anything like that under directory isolinux. Only the four files I listed. That is why I have no idea how to proceed.

]]>The instructions say to cd as normal user to a directory in the mounted iso that does not exist. Then they say to run magician as root. How would root know what directory to use?
It says to cd to e.g., Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_EXT0DB6Q/C04D-1342/samsung. But the contents of isolinux on my downloaded image are:
[root@coat isolinux]# ls -l
total 157
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 2048 Mar 22 1971 boot.cat
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40960 Mar 22 1971 isolinux.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 203 Mar 22 1971 isolinux.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116688 Mar 22 1971 ldlinux.c32
I cannot connect the Wiki instructions to what I am seeing in Samsung's iso. I am lost.
]]>I found new firmware for my drive on the Samsung web site. I am trying to install it by the instructions in Arch Wiki article Solid State Drive. The loop device is created, but the downloaded iso will not mount:
$ udisksctl loop-setup -r -f Samsung_SSD_850_PRO_EXM04B6Q_Win.iso
Mapped file Samsung_SSD_850_PRO_EXM04B6Q_Win.iso as /dev/loop1.
$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/loop1
Object /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/loop1 is not a mountable filesystem.
The wiki article seems to instruct me to run these commands as my normal userid. Should either or both of them be run as root?
