Setup

Very unfortunatley, there is not a reasonable way to get Debian's default initramfs-tools to unlock LUKS volumes using tokens, like FIDO2 or TPM2. The best attempt to make this work using initramfs-tools is https://github.com/bertogg/fido2luks.

The most common way to handle unlocking these LUKS volumes is to use dracut to generate an initram filesystems. I'm not saying that dracut is great, but it will allow you to easily use systemd-cryptenroll tokenized luks unlock methods.

Update firmware WD Black SN770 firmware on Arch Linux

Been having problems with my new SN770 drive, and decided to check if I can firmware update it on Linux. WD only provides a Windows tool, Western Digital Dashboard to download and install firmwares, but, it's possible to find the firmware and install it using Linux tooling as well.

1. Check that nvme-cli is installed:

❱ sudo pacman -S nvme-cli

How to install TrueNAS SCALE on a partition instead of the full disk

Install TrueNAS SCALE on a partition instead of the full disk

The TrueNAS installer doesn't have a way to use anything less than the full device. This is usually a waste of resources when installing to a modern NVMe which is usually several hundred of GB. TrueNAS SCALE will use only a few GB for its system files so installing to a 16GB partition would be helpful.

The easiest way to solve this is to modify the installer script before starting the installation process.
