Hi Folks! Curious if anyone has done a disk-less or flash-based Freevo strictly for viewing materials. I just finished building a new Freevo box today for our Bedroom, and the hard disk whine is already getting annoying (it's an older re-purposed 30GB drive I had kicking around). To quiet it down, I'm thinking I'll strip down the Ubuntu set-up I've got, and configure something that will fit on a USB drive for booting. All the media is stored on a server which runs Freevo Record & Webservers.
I've got a few Freevo specific questions on this topic... Can the Freevo vfs cache directory be kept on an NFS mount? If so, is if possible to share the vfs cache between front-ends? I have two front-ends which are off when not in use, so it'd be nice if the server could maintain the cache, and the two front ends just make use of it. Would there be any issues with concurrent access? Can the Freevo logs/log directory be stored on an NFS mount? Are there any Freevo processes which require RW access to certain files or file systems? I'm guessing the new webserver config tool will require RW to the /etc/freevo directory, so I could make a writable /etc/ partition on the flash drive (since it wouldn't be written to very often). Anything else? Any other tips or comments? FYI, I'm using an Antec Fusion 430 Black case, with Codeka's LIRC/lcdproc patches for the integrated iMon Soundgraph LCD/IR. http://codeka.com/blogs/index.php?cat=30 I had to re-record the MCE remote to create a new lircd.conf, since the standard configs that ship with LIRC didn't work for me (the receiver seems to output them differently from the standard MCE USB receiver. Freevo's LCD plugin works with it through the patched lcdproc. Thanks for your time! /Mike Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo! Mail.
