Hey people,
in the coming days I will start a new project with my Raspberry Pi which is now without work for some months since it was replaced by my Intel NUC (used as a Media Player).
It is one of the first B Models with 256MB (Thanks to ryecoaron for optimizing the OpenMediaVault Raspberry Pi image OMV and Raspberry pi ), so it may be not as performant as the 512MB version.
For Data and OS it will get a used 250GB 2,5" external HDD. OS will be placed on the 2,5" disk too to extend the life of the sd card. (Thanks to ryecoaron too.)
The purpose of this second NAS is to have a 24/7 running solution which will take care of automated Downloads and be acccessable without the need to boot up my normal NAS.
I will also add a PXE Server to it with a USB to ethernet adapter combined with a DHCP Server on that interface to be able to attach a PC directly and boot images via PXE to check that systems, or install them or whatelse.
Later on I may consider to place a MySQL Database for XBMC on that NAS too.
To be continued...
Greetings
David
