An external drive will _probably_ work OK, but lots of folks have had issues with USB on the BeagleBone. I have very limited experience with the 'Bone and USB mass storage, and that was with kernels from quite a while ago. Things have gotten a lot better since then...you'll just have to test it and see how it works. My BeagleBones are never close to my server, but they always have a wired network connection, so it's easy for me to use NFS. You could also use any network file protocol of your choice, it doesn't have to be NFS. Just install the appropriate Debian packages for whatever protocol(s) you're running on your mac mini server and away you go! -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
