Take some time to research and reflect on your needs (desires?) about which file system to use. (ext 2,4) is always popular and safe. Some are very happy with BTRFS and there are many other interesting choices (ZFS, XFS, etc etc).. There is no best solution; but the EXT family offers tried and proven options. YMMV. hth, James I'm not sure if it is ZFS or XFS but I seem to recall one of those does not like sudden shutdowns, such as a power failure. Maybe that has changed since I last tried whichever one it is that has that issue. If you have a UPS tho, shouldn't be so much of a problem, unless your power supply goes out. XFS. It was designed by SGI for their video rendeing workstations back in the day and used very aggressive caching to get enormous throughput. It was also brilliant at dealing with directories containing thousands of small files - not unusual when dealing with video editing. However, it was also designed for environments where the power is guaranteed to never go off (which explains why they decided to go with such aggressive caching). If you use it in environments where powerouts are not guaranteed to not happen, well.. Well what? It's no less reliable than other filesystems that employ delayed allocation (any modern filesystem worth of note). Over recent years, I use both XFS and ext4 extensively in production and have found the former trumps the latter in reliability. While I like them both, I predicate this assertion mainly on some of the silly bugs that I have seen crop up in the ext4 codebase and the unedifying commentary that has occasionally ensued. From reading the XFS list and my own experience, I have formed the opinion that the maintainers are more stringent in matters of QA and regression testing and more mature in matters of public debate. I also believe that regressions in stability are virtually unheard of, whereas regressions in performance are identified quickly and taken very seriously [1]. The worst thing I could say about XFS is that it was comparatively slow until the introduction of delayed logging (an idea taken from ext3). [2] [3]. Nowadays, it is on a par with ext4 and, in some cases, scales better. It is also one of the few filesystems besides ZFS that can dynamically allocate inodes. SNIP --Kerin [1] http://www.percona.com/blog/2012/03/15/ext4-vs-xfs-on-ssd/#comment-903938 [2] https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/xfs-delayed-logging-design.txt [3] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FegjLbCnoBw The point I was making in my comment was about if the power fails without a proper shutdown. When I used it a long time ago, it worked fine, until there was a sudden power loss. That is when problems pop up. If a person has a UPS, should be good to go. The point I was making is that there is not a shred of evidence to suggest that XFS is any less resilient in this scenario than newer filesystems employing delayed allocation such as ext4, btrfs and ZFS. What I take issue with is that people continue to single XFS out for criticism, regardless. Let XFS be judged as it it stands today, just as any other actively developed filesystem should be. Filesystem implementations are not set in stone. Just as ext4 developers had to resolve certain engineering challenges raised by the use of delayed allocation, so have XFS developers had to do the same before them [1]. Arguments generally critical of the use of delayed allocation where power loss is a likely event would hold water. Fortunately, options remain for such a scenario (ext3, ext4 + nodelalloc). --Kerin [1] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7d4fb40 Which is why I said that the issue could have changed since I last used that file system. What I learned is this, every time there was a sudden power fail, it was unrecoverable. I ended up reinstalling the OS. That is why I posted what I did. Still, the point is this, if the OP is going to use the file system that had that issue, research first to make sure they are prepared for what may still be a side effect or that is is no longer a problem now. Every file system there is has something negative. It's up to us to find out if that negative can or will apply to us. Having the info is better than not having at all. I wish I knew that before I tried XFS before. I might add, I've had a few sudden power fails on systems with ext4. What I have not had yet was a unrecoverable file system like I had with XFS. Maybe XFS is improved now but

I could get a SATA to mSATA adapter and connect via my SATA port, but even if the mSATA drive is then recognized, it is unlikely that I would be able to boot from it. I think this leaves me with a full SATA SSD as the only option which is fine. The Gigabyte 2807 is designed to work with them and even includes a bracket and cable. Surprisingly, my research has lead me to believe that an mSATA SSD may actually generate more heat than a SATA SSD. - Grant For completeness, it might be possible to make use of an mSATA card on this system by using one which has an onboard SATA controller (as the Samsung ones are said to have) and booting over the network or to USB as booting to miniPCI-E is unlikely to work. - Grant
[gentoo-user] i965 (Valley View) video acceleration
I can't seem to get video acceleration working on my Gigabyte Brix 2807 device which lspci identifies as Valley View. 1080p playback is still stuttery. I've tried every trick I know and Googled a lot. Could anyone throw me some suggestions? - Grant

I've tried every trick I know and Googled a lot. Could anyone throw me some suggestions? What kernel are you running? I had this problem initially with my NUC - I updated to gentoo-sources:3.14.14, enabled the vaapi thread globally, rebuilt, and forced mplayer2 to use opengl (-vo gl). After that, I am even able to play 1080p with no glitches. Apparently Intel made a lot of enhancements to the intel in-kernel driver with the 3.14 series. Dan
