| 00:04 | nemunaire> | Deknos: e-sata cases generaly also have a 5V power input jack (for 2,5" cases) that you can plug on a USB port of the cubox (I use this solution) or cases for 3,5" drives comes with a 12V power adapter |
| 12:19 | Deknos> | nemunaire, is there one for 3.5 cases, too? |
| 12:19 | Deknos> | another question: did anyone of you built a custom image? i want to run docker containers on the cubox, but the main seems to small... or should i just by a bigger mini sd card? |
| 12:22 | nemunaire> | you can't power 3.5" drives with just 5V, so it requires a dedicated power adapter: both USB 2/3, firewire or e-sata cases for 3.5" drives have this power adapter |
| 12:26 | nemunaire> | personnaly I run Gentoo on a 16GB SD card; you can flash the image you like, expand the partition and then resize2fs to use the entire SD card space |
| 12:31 | nemunaire> | but for Docker, I prefer using the LVM storage driver (rather than the default one that use the disk holding /var), on my cubox-i, Docker uses the hdd through lvm instead of the sd card |
| 12:33 | Deknos> | yeah, i now figured that my 1gb mini sd card is not enough.. i will buy a bigger one. what you said about docker storage driver seems interesting. did you measure the speed of lvm vs overlay? |
| 12:45 | nemunaire> | in fact, no, I didn't benchmark this, could be interesting; I do that to don't have to manage the disk usage under /var: it's like I'm dedicating a volume to Docker, without using both lvm for disk management + overlayfs: here Docker uses lvm directly |
