Anyone running ESXi and if so, any idea what your power consumption is at the moment? Just did a test install after my Ubuntu installation has jumped to like 43watts, and ESX is close to that at the moment I want to reduce it, otherwise I am going to go down the Windows 2008 R2 route and use...

Anyone got experience of flexiraid as for me, it likes a really good raid type solution. I am currently setting it up with 3 drives. Also - I am using mhddfs to make the multiple mount drives appear to be one big drive.

ok - bit an update if anyone like myself is looking at reducing the power consumption and has gone the ubuntu route. Install Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, 3 drives (old 2 x old 80gb sata, 1 x 500gb sata), stock 1gb ram (4gb corsair ordered). OS installed on a 8gb HP mini usb stick. Bios set to ide...

Anyone used the inbuilt raid , and tried replacing a disc? I tried and there does not seem to be the option to replace a faulty one. Mine just says continue. Also - any tips on ubuntu server power. I am using granola and thats got the power down to averaging 35w with 3 drives in it. I am...

In ref to power, has anyone tried using SmartPower, and whether it can save a few more watts?

Does anyone know, if I choose to use the built in raid 1, how do you replace a faulty disc? Been testing it, and where I can mimic a failed disc, there does not seem to be the option to replace it on the array you have defined, it just says continue and goes back to the menu Alternately...

Hi I need some advice. I need to setup raid on this little beauty but I have mixed discs. 2 x 500gb 2 x 80gb I am using the above as tests as I have them spare, before I order some 2tb ones. I have fedora and Amahi installed on a USb key for the OS, and its boots fine. Anyway, been...

In the process of installing ubuntu server onto a 8gb usb moveable device. Once its done, I may trash it and try Amahi to see if that works also but what I was wondering, if I put in another 8gb moveable device - can I mirror them?

Ace. I basically have a sata > ide adaptor, plugged into a ide > sdcard adaptor. Used it before to run an OS off a microsd card, so plan to try the same with Fedora 14 and Amahi. I'll report back to see how I get on. Amahi is not supported on a usb stick hence why going down this route as...

Am I right, from ready upto post 6, that the connectors for the dvd drive, in the spare bay are pata speeds? I was thinking of using this port as my OS drive. Or is there another sata port on the board not used?

ok, mines arrived. 4gb corsair on order (single simm) so far. I am thinking of using hardware raid 1 with my 2x2tb drives for family stuff, then one of the other slots I will use for moves etc - no need for redundancy, with the other as spare, unless I can use the other slot and raid 1 the...
