No I have not i had the router for 3 months, and started to notice that once i started to download more the little WRT just couldt keep up it was the fact the hardware was just to slow. No OS could fix that
so i built my pfsense box and em loving it, it maybe total over kill but i dont mind i will have this router for years to come and even if my internet gets upgrade to 100 up 100 down i know it will be able to keep up
Have you tried running dd-wrt on that router instead of open wrt? I used open wrt until i saw dd-wrt and noticed how much better its supported.
yeah, it must be the slow PCH hardware. i transfer files between Windows computers on my network at over 100 MB/s, so it definitely isn’t my network.
I personaly get upwards of 50mb/s to my fileserver over gigabit network, so i think you problem lies in the fact that the popcorn hour has a slow cpu, no gigabit netowrk interface and the fact that your files maybe on a USB drive or a slow notebook drive
Um of first of all the PS3 only has 256mb of ram so that is complete shit for any server aplication. and taking the cpu out of a ps3 would be pointless since it is attached to the board IE not socket on the board and even if there was a socket you would need a cell server board witch you cant buy and if you could the board would be atleast $1500
This is in my house, and i would stick with the 2 systems I have to admit this is a little over kill but i like to go all out! and besides to servers is cheaper to run then 3
Ya it is a little bit of a mess, I want to clean it up but i can really be botherd since I plan on building a brand new server very soon
Take out the cell and do what with it? Stare at it? You’re just making stuff up.
The only linux machine I have at home is a Popcorn Hour (Networked Media Tank). I use Samba to transfer files to and from my Windows machines, but it’s painfully slow – like 5MB/s slow.
Is this related to transferring between NTFS and EXT file systems? Or are the slow transfers related to the cheap hardware in a Popcorn Hour?
I ask because it seems silly to use a home server that can’t transfer files fast.
very nice!!! but get some zip-ties and rangle those sata cables! heat isn’t good for hard drives and from the picture it seems that the cables are blocking the case fan. I’m just saying… but still thats the shit you got there
Is this at home or is this a business? I kinda want to run 3 servers right now instead of breaking my back into running only 2, just to save electricity. what a shame on my part. you have so much better equiptment than i do.
I just went with a quad-core (8 logical cores) Core i7 @~3GHz, 12 GB RAM. Beats the pants off of anything I’ve ever used. Runs 64-bit Fedora Core 11. Mostly for programming, application servers, database thrashing and virtualization. Whatever I throw at it, it just yawns and says, “Please wake me up when you’re actually _serious_.” And I just smile back
i do know that you are stating your opinion, but obviously you don’t know how to use linux if it crashes when you open the terminal. if the terminal crashed for everyone then linux would have failed on an epic level a long time ago.
nice, dude
nice one you will se mine
Fans stuck to the wall
nice serve their but do you really need all those? i can just dismantle a ps3. take out the cell. use it. and steamroll your who set up 20times over. lol cell floating point 2.2 teraflops..
How i see well in the case you can never have to much hard drive spave, my next server is going to be 24 or 48 terebytes depending on weather i go with 1tb or 2tb drives
Thanks
If you want it done right you got to do it your self, and thats why i build all my own stuff. And its all ways fun to come home with a trunk full of parts and build a system.
Well i can put up to 8GB of ram in the servers both run 64bit linux, and the router can support up to 4gb (32bit limitaion). But whats in them is enough i dont need anymore then what i have, most the time there at less then 50% used (excluding cache). And for my next round of upgrades I will be switching to quad Xeons on a dual socket mother board
should try AMD Opteron for more RAM
Did you not read the end ? I said if you’re good with PC’s besides I said nothing about linux being dominant I even use windows my self…. so please Read before commenting and being an ass
and whatever issues you had with wireless cards those changed it’s simpley double click and insert your Key and that’s pretty much it….
P.S I use all 3 Os’s I love them alike.
It is very easy installed it on over 10 systems no problem, and have you ndiswrapper and looking up a how to there got to be one for your wireless card
Well one of them is my router(Yellow), DownLoading Files(RED), and anything you can dream up(Back), and a testbed(White).
