Hi One week link on the Pi (at the moment) is file system access. Storage is on an SD card and the drivers aren't as optimized as you might like. Not so big a deal for NTP, might be a bigger deal for a web or file server. I have not tried USB disks, so no idea how they do.

They are useless unless you have at least one client computer to use it and then it you do have a computer why not simply run the server on that? All NTP installations are both clients and servers. One reason I asked abut load average is because I thought the Pi might make a good web and file server. Seems like it might. Those are services that also need to run 24x7 -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
