Marc, you NUC seems to be Haswell-based and I am glad to hear that there are no problems with SmartOS.
My main concern is that a new CPU generation like Broadwell might need some specific support code inside the kernel, and I am unsure if the current SmartOS kernel does support this. Same concern applies to M.2 PCIe SSDs like XP941. I assume that they also might need specific kernel support. Especially for the new NUCs that support one M.2 and a regular HDD it would be very interesting to be able to use the M.2 as log and/or cache device for a 2 TB 2.5“ HDD. /Dirk You are right that these NUC would PXE-boot to be a compute node. > Am 12.02.2015 um 15:24 schrieb J Marc Edwards via smartos-discuss > <[email protected]>: > > Dirk: > > I just went through this experience using the D54250WYK/H NUC.
