I don't know how support for the Raspberry PI is with Fedora. It is
listed
as an ARM chip, though a proprietary Broadcom design. It fits here
right?
What I was thinking was have it powered via POE (either from a switch
with
POE or a Powerline adapter with POE, I have read of one of these). Put
this
in a case, and you would have 2 USB ports for drives.
About right?
The first problem I see is that you would need to convert the 44V at
350ma to the 5V at around 1A that you need to run the RPi properly,
I'm not sure there's PoE power adapters that can do that. That's
before you've even provided power to the drive(s). The ethernet also
runs over the USB which means you've got perf issues that will
severely limit any form of decent performance and a lot of people have
said there's issues with the USB bus.
I was seeing the drives having their own external power. The reason for POE
was to not tie up one usb port for power.
Your getting confused with your usb ports. The power is provided the
microUSB port which isn't a generally usable usb data port.
Oops I must have been sleeping when I read the specs!
Well I am putting all this on the sideboard. I have to get that
pogoplug working then some other upgrades here.
But if you can point me to a nice router/firewall box to install fedora
on, that would fit into a much shorter term target.
