Does fTPM on AMD processors work as well or do we have to get a TPM module then?

Yes, as long as it's enabled in the BIOS.

Thanks a lot for this information. Perhaps it would be a good idea to add this to the tpm licensing faq.

Moving the license by moving the tpm module should not work, like I learned from spaceinvaders video.

He says that the license is not on the module it self, the modul is only for identification.

fTPM is fine.

Unraid 7.3.0-beta.1 is live, headlined by Internal Boot — the ability to boot Unraid from an NVMe, SSD, or eMMC instead of a USB flash drive

Wowie. Never thought I'd see the day we can rid ourselves of the ol' USB boot drive.

Hi guys, just asking here and want to switch to internal boot.
For this i have 1x internal nvme SSD (1TB) currently used as "Cache".

Watched this video for migrating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sruWM1PqjVo
And just wanted to be sure i dont mess anything up 😅

The appdata, system and domains are per my design just on the cache.
For appdata i am using appdata backup, i have no vms (domains folder empty) and system (docker) can be rebuilt.
In appdata is also the immich thumbnails and so on... this way my hdds can sleep most of the time :-)
(-> yeah an real ssd cache prefetcher like primocache on windows would be nice, but that's another story. i know we have zfs but i think for my usecase its too much).

Regarding transfering the license to TPM: i have checked my MoBo (Gigabyte H610i) which has an Firmware TPM2, see:

root@MediaServer:/mnt# dmesg | grep -i tpm
[    0.000000] efi: ACPI=0x35313000 ACPI 2.0=0x35313014 TPMFinalLog=0x352e0000 SMBIOS=0x35a56000 SMBIOS 3.0=0x35a55000 MEMATTR=0x2f9e3218 ESRT=0x2ffc5818 RNG=0x35120018 TPMEventLog=0x35117018

[    0.021511] ACPI: Reserving TPM2 table memory at [mem 0x35121000-0x3512104b]
root@MediaServer:/mnt# ls -l /dev/tpm*
crw------- 1 root root  10,   224 Apr 25 10:42 /dev/tpm0

root@MediaServer:/mnt# cat /sys/class/tpm/tpm0/tpm_version_major
2

So my plan will be:

• setup secondary storage Array for: appdata, domains & system (& ev. Videos but it's empty)

• stop docker & vm service

• manually run mover and wait for it to finish

• check with "du -sh" in /mnt/cache if all data is gone

• stop array

• go to "Cache" pool, click erase pool and remove pool

• start onboarding wizard and select internal boot (like shown in the video)
  Use "Cache" as name like before

• Reboot with old Flash drive inserted (so it copies the data to the internal boot)

• set ata partition to xfs (as it was before)

• start array

• format the data partiton

• move data back to nvme with Mover by reversing the direction

• manually run mover and wait for it to finish

• check with "du -sh" in /mnt/cache if all data is back (~83 GB)

• remove secondary storage Array for: appdata, domains & system (& ev. Videos but it's empty)

• start docker & vm service

• move license from flash to tpm

Please can an unraid-pro double-check and confirm my plan?

Thanks in advance

Looks OK to me, though you just need to transfer the license once.

thx for checking, mover is running... 😅
Have corrected the double license transfer.

One question:
currently my pool device is named "Cache" and lives under "/mnt/cache".
I can see with "du -sh" that mover is working and used space is going down.
When i remove the complete pool (like described in the video) and re-add it as boot/data afterwards,

will the mount point be the same (/mnt/cache) in my case?
(I hope it will be)

Edited April 25Apr 25 by pOpYRaid

I answer my question after doing the migration.
Yes, cache was prefilled in the wizard and uses the same mount directory /mnt/cache
After moving all back to the cache SSD all is working as it should.
Transfered the license to TPM and finally got rid of the flash drive.

thx guys for the smooth transition.

Any ETA regarding this 2 months beta?



EDIT: Got corrected under. Didn't see the rc release on the documentation page.

Oh shit you're right! My mistake.
