Yes, last night my FreeNAS did a first successful complete scan of my "collection" (only a bunch of albums in a virtual machine). I'm trying to get something up soon.

I'd still recommend 256MB. FreeNAS would happily run in 128MB (the developers say 96MB). But SlimServer easily exceeds the 128-96=32MB. The solution I'm aiming at won't be a modified FreeNAS, but rather an extension to it. Slimserver will _not_ run from the flash image for various reasons: - as the whole image is copied to a ram disk at startup, adding Perl and SlimServer to the image would require some additional 40-60MB RAM - no need for a custom image: let the FreeNAS developers do their work, we do the slimserver stuff independently - easier updating: no need to update the operating system if you want to update slimserver (and vice versa) which brings along more complicated maintenance (updating slimserver or FreeNAS) You could still partition a 128MB CF card (or USB stick) and use the first partition for the system, the second for SlimServer, and stock all data on the harddisks. Stay tuned... -- mherger Michael ----------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mherger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20597 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
