Which Kirkwood/Sheeva device do you use? Are they all pretty much capable, and are you able to run the newest MythTV release?<div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 6:24 AM, Mark Small <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:msmall@eastlink.ca" target="_blank">msmall@eastlink.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I run the scheduler on a Kirkwood without any problems. It takes longer than<br>
a spiffy new machine. Just checked my logs and the last run took 11.6 seconds.<br>
This is using an SSD on real SATA (not usb based). When I ran it on a normal<br>
HD, it took 40-50 seconds.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure that I'd like to have my storage on a machine that that powers on<br>
on-demand. Does anyone do this? I'd worry about lag on viewing. Does myth<br>
know how to wake storage on demand?<br>
<br>
You might need to have your storage box on all the time. If storage is on a<br>
machine that is on all the time, might as well just run the backend on the<br>
storage machine.<br>
