Dear jessica_l,

I hope that you are a human and not a bot (I find it hard for a bot to answer such an intelligent post).
I removed the ads in your post, please don't abuse the forums !!!!

WOW.

But the dyndns site is inaccessible, it endlessly tries to connect to the plug.

Anyhow, great work.

yup.

Can you please retest with adding 'time' before the 'dd' command?

Curious to see CPU utilization on this

Looks excellent. I'm starting to dive into the website.

I can't find username 'Billiink'. Are you sure you got it right?

I hold my canons for now.

I wiped his account.

Thanks for the report,

The SATA ports from Kirkwood 6281 supports port multiplier.
I'm not sure about the current libata driver in the kerenl, but the Marvell mvSata driver does.

Hi Patrick,

I agree that the number of re-occuring problems is annoying. But the reason we didn't take any action item is because the the Sheevaplug is intended for developers; and firmware / kernel problems are expected !

If it was an end product for any user then I agree with you that a bugzilla is a must.

I will bring this back to the team and discuss it.

Regards,
Rabeeh

mike,

i don't have my 740 infront of me right now (it's traveling around).
but isn't the microphone an audio jack and not usb based? i recall seeing mic jack coming from the monitor !

cbxbikier:

can you please set the ramdisk size to be 8192 (instead of default 4096)?

this will solve the sheevaplug installer issue when using your kernels (since it seems initrd grew to be too big) !

< CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=4096
---
> CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=8192

Thanks,
Rabeeh

In the memcached scenario, an x86 server serves web pages while accessing the database can be intercepted by memcache client, forwarded to memcache servers running on multiple plugs.

The memcache server running on the plugs can use memory only (512MB today on the plug).
The Kirkwood chip inside the plug can support much more higher memory configuration than 512MB, make it even deeper cache.

I never tried this idea; but I toyed with it with someone few months ago.

Hi,

Very interesting idea; i think embedded lower powered systems can have a big play in data centers field.

Have you though about using the plugs as memcached nodes?

Great.
A howto, or a wiki page would be excellent; someday

I'm moving the thread to 'Success Story'
