AFAIK this matrix storage is supported by ataraid driver.
I think using gmirror or zfs is better than ataraid.


Nice one, thank you


   From the Shuttle spec sheet, I can't tell what video card is installed.
Does anybody know? Is it supported? Initially, I'll be using only one
monitor, but would intend to have both outputs in use in the longer term.

 From the pic: http://www.shuttle.eu/press/image-resources/sx38p2-
pro/b5ebb3b485/?tx_chgallery_pi1%5Bsingle%5D=2
It looks there is no onboard graphics card. You need to buy it separately.


My mistake, sorry for the noise

Thanks

Hardware support for Shuttle SX38P2 Pro

2010-11-21 Thread Ben Quick

 Hi all,
 This is the first question I've asked on here, hopefully I've got all 
the required detail in.


I'm thinking of buying a Shuttle SX38P2 Pro 
(http://www.shuttle.eu/products/mini-pc/sx38p2-pro/specification/) to 
run FreeBSD 8.1 onwards. I'll be using the machine as a desktop and home 
server. A bit of coding, nothing special, and running a few jails. But, 
before making the purchase I want to make sure the hardware is supported.


From the Shuttle spec sheet above, the sound card mentions ALC888DD and 
the FreeBSD supported hardware list states that ALC888 is supported 
under snd_hda. Is the 'DD' important? Would sound still work? My 
assumption is that sound would work, but I'd possibly lose the surround 
sound or something?


The NIC appears to be Marvell 88E8056, which seems to have full support 
using the msk driver. I've never heard of this manufacturer before, 
there aren't any gotchas I need to be aware of are there?


There are two things on the Shuttle spec sheet that I'm unsure of. They are:

* Intel X38 Express (MCH) + ICH9R (I/O Conroller Hub)
* Intel Matrix Storage Technology

I don't really know what either of them are. I'm assuming the Matrix 
Storage is the RAID controller. Is this supported? If not, I'll just use 
gmirror, but will obviously have to be able to access the disks in the 
first instance.


From the Shuttle spec sheet, I can't tell what video card is installed. 
Does anybody know? Is it supported? Initially, I'll be using only one 
monitor, but would intend to have both outputs in use in the longer term.


Sorry, I know there's a lot of questions in there, but I've been unable 
to find the answered for myself so far.


If anyone could shed any light on this, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Ben

Re: IPFW confusion

2004-01-07 Thread Ben Quick
Hi Subhro,
Thanks for your reply
The reason I want the server to route between the internal network and 
the router is because I only want to allow specific clients out onto the 
internet, and I can't see how to do this with the router I've got. Plus, 
it's a good excuse to try to learn something new :-)

You say it's expected that I can't ping. It's things like this that 
confuse me, due to lack of understanding on my part, I've allowed all 
traffic through. Of so I thought...

I've had a quick skim of the HOWTO, and it seems informative. But, it's 
still the IPFW rules that get me all confused

Hi Ben,

First of all I must say you explained your requirements very well. Not many
people can precisely say what they need. Bravo!
Let's get to the point now. First of all I d don't find a good reason why
you would like to introduce your system (192.168.0.10) (Lets call it server)
to work as a router although you have a dedicated router. You can be well
off adding routes in the D-Link and be off with it. If you really want to
live with your current setup, then you must decide whether you want to go
with NAT or with transparent proxy. With your current setup, it is perfectly
all right that you can't ping any external hosts. I would recommend that you
go with NAT guarded by ipfw at the server. But you may also go with
transparent proxy as it has its own advantages. Refer to the following page:
http://www.erudition.net/freebsd/NAT-HOWTO

This has a really good tutorial on setting up NAT

Subject: IPFW confusion
Hello all,
I've been hunting around for information on IPFW, and how to set up the
rules I require. I found a tutorial that seemed to fit my needs:
http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ipfw.html
However, I can't get the config to work. I've commented out all the deny
rules. In this instance, I can browse the web via SQUID that's installed
on the IPFW box. I can't browse the web directly, though. That is the
only external access I get. I can't ping any sites, DNS lookups fail
(I've set the DNS servers on the client workstation to be that my ISP's.
I also tried setting it to look at the IPFW box first, with no luck)
Can anyone offer help on this one? I'm getting stuck in a muddle of
mis-understanding
My setup is as follows

Internal LAN is 192.168.0.x
IPFW machine has 2 NIC's:
rl0: 192.168.0.10
rl1: 172.16.200.10
rl1 connects directly to my DSL router (D-Link 504) which has an
internal IP of 172.16.200.1 along with it's public IP on the DSL port
The ruleset I'd like is as follows

For client IP's of 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.20 allow the following
HTTP \ HTTPS - But not directly, force them to use SQUID (Listening on
port 8080, and using squidGuard for content filtering)
POP3 - But, only so far as pop.myisp.com
IMAP - But, only so far as imap.myisp.com
SMTP - But, only so far as smtp.myisp.com
DNS lookups - But, only with ns1.myisp.com and ns2.myisp.com
NNTP - But, only so far as news.myisp.com
FTP - To anywhere
For client IP's of 192.168.0.21 - 192.168.0.254 no access to anything
external to the 192.168.0.x network should be granted
I'd like the IPFW box and 192.168.0.1 to be able to SSH out to anywhere.

I'd like to allow SSH inbound from a specific IP to be directed at the
IPFW box (The port forwarding can be done with the DSL router) - SSH
isn't currently listening on that interface, I'll get to that later :)
Does this sound like a reasonable ruleset? Is anyone willing to help me
generate it?
Thanks
Ben
