That's interesting, which SheevaPlug device do you have? It looks like there a couple variations based on the reference design.<div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 1:22 PM, Tyler T <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tylernt@gmail.com" target="_blank">tylernt@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The thing about the Pi is the USB bottleneck for disk I/O. Worse, the<br>
Pi's network adapter is also routed through USB internally. CPU<br>
shouldn't be a problem, and RAM shouldn't be a problem (especially<br>
with the new 512MB Pi), but disk AND network I/O being shoveled<br>
through one USB host controller would probably choke.<br>
<br>
The Pi aside, some other ARM device (NAS or Sheeva) with eSATA/SATA*<br>
ought to have the I/O grunt you need for a BE. The Pi could still be a<br>
separate FE, albeit running XBMC since Myth doesn't support the Pi's<br>
OpenMAX video acceleration yet.<br>

* Not all Sheeva and cousins have SATA, check the specs to be sure.<br>
