    Zotac Zbox Nano ID61 mini review

    Good news... I got the COM1 pinout from Zotac (thanks Zotac!), but I'm still verifying it before I post here. Other news - Zotac's latest BIOS with improved fan control causes a noticeable reduction in noise levels. I recently upgraded an oldish Atom system with an ID61. It was for a low...

    Zotac Zbox Nano ID61 mini review

    Hi, quick update... The JST SH plug was the correct choice. Received mine a day ago. I've sent a mail to Zotac requesting the COM1 pinout. If they're not forthcoming I'll try get it the hard way. ;) In the mean time I decided to measure the idle power consumption of this system. I've...

    Zotac Zbox Nano ID61 mini review

    I've been playing with this hardware more lately, and it's as fast as I'd hoped. Maybe a little slower, but very usable as a small server. To give you an idea, a 9-STABLE GENERIC kernel build takes 33 minutes. Building databases/db48 takes 2m3s. On my (admittedly old) Atom 330...

    Zotac Zbox Nano ID61 mini review

    Thanks guys! All suggestions seem to lead the way of JST, and I think I've found them: JST SH connector I've studied JST's spec sheet closely now, and it must be these, hehe. Thanks for the Zotac forum suggestion! I'm going to post there too. I've already found a local supplier of...

    Nah, I reckon I can figure that out, hehe. :)

    Zotac Zbox Nano ID61 mini review

    Thanks SirDice. That last link does look very similar, and might be it!! I've made a post on the AVRfreaks forum too, and will visit some local supply stores next week.

    Zotac Zbox Nano ID61 mini review

    I'm curious to know if it can drive two displays. That would be kinda neat! PXE boot works great on it. :) So I'm really liking this little system. Perhaps even to the point of obsession. Today my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to void my warranty. I was mostly interested to...

    Zotac Zbox Nano ID61 mini review

    Turns out this is totally bogus, and I was being a bit retarded in my testing methodology. Killing watchdogd causes it to uninitialise the watchdog timer, so it's no wonder the system never rebooted. I've tested now by suspending watchdogd, and the system reboots. The watchdog works perfectly!

    Zotac Zbox Nano ID61 mini review

    Hi, I've finally gotten my hands on one of Zotac's latest Zbox releases - the Zbox Nano ID61. For those who haven't been waiting for this, it's their first foray into putting an Intel CULV chipset into a product line that has otherwise been dominated by Atom and AMD Fusion chips. The chip in...

    SSD performance and partition alignment

    Are you asking how I calculated it? I used the shell script in post #2. But if you want to make sense of it, the break down is: 21030912 sectors of 512 bytes each 21030912 * 512 = 10767826944 bytes 10767826944 / 1024 / 1024 = 10269 MiB And at the same time, it also falls on a track...

    Syslog vs Cisco

    Hopefully not obvious, but are you sure the missed entries aren't just a case of syslogd consolidating duplicates? Perhaps you can try launch syslogd with the "-c" parameter: -c Disable the compression of repeated instances of the same line into a single line of the form ``last...

    9.0 dialog and it's STDIN

    Ah, hmm, yes. Use the source, Luke... specifically /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 6010. There's still hope, but you'll probably need to write your own script to stand-in for dialog, that mimics its behaviour for your own purposes. Then set the DIALOG variable to your script's path.

    Tunnel Routing Question

    Routing table lookups are performed on destination address, not source address. What you want is source routing, aka policy routing. Linux has a policy routing framework, but in FreeBSD you have to use a firewall to do it. ipfw and pf can both alter the nexthop of IP packets. Have a look at...

    difference between partitions and slices in FreeBSD context

    I wouldn't call them direct analogies. The slice+label design is a well thought out approach of neatly compartmentalizing OS data hierarchically on a disk. Extended Boot Records are a bit different and quite hacky really. Firstly EBRs are not really hierarchical - the partition metadata is...

    Slices don't show up in /dev

    Most welcome. Glad it ended well! :)
