Re: [9fans] SFF 9legacy fileserver hardware
there are some cases on ebay where the front fell off, they are extremely compatible, just like all power supplies, 9front has very decent low-to-medium quality software-side support for all power supplies.

I have at least a half dozen mini-ITX boards lying around that I can fall back on. The problem is I seem to have lost most of the cases and/or power supplies for them. Push comes to shove though and I will use one of them if I have to. There's quite a mix ranging from old i386s to a fairly recent and kick-ass 64 bit board that would make a very nice CPU server. Maybe I should just go on a hunt for replacement cases. The problem last time around was that mini-ITX cases were no longer very "mini" ... --lyndon -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T055ff8c5321ac6a2-M0f04537551518aecfb3633b8 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
Re: [9fans] SFF 9legacy fileserver hardware
I am running a PI4 as my file/auth/cpu server. I planned to use an external ssd on a usb3 but this has stalled as I cannot get the 9front xhci driver to work in richard's kernel. It is probably not a big issue, and works fine (abet slowly) over USB2. until last year I still had a dual Atom machine which worked nicely but is a propper desktop machine even though its a mini ITX. -Steve -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T055ff8c5321ac6a2-Mc7a0e6de37787474b588a3ea Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
