I'm trying to build a pair of coda "appliances" - basically embedded boxes with a VPN and coda server/client, each acting as a samba server to its network. The goal is to have two identical replicas of the same data. One side would be the server, the other would be the client. Otherwise the boxes would be identical. I've got coda built and installed, and now I'm trying to map out my approach. The hardware consists of a 200 MHz ARM CPU with 32 MB of RAM. The data consists of approximately 300 GB of CAD files. Is this enough RAM? Can the RVM metadata be kept in a swap partition or do I need physical RAM for it? Also, how should I structure this so that all the data is available to both sides, even in the event of a VPN failure? (These boxes would be pretty much on opposite sides of the globe, so I can't really be sure the VPN will be available 100%.) This means that the client would have to actively hoard all the data? Is that practical? Or should I use a different approach? I would welcome any pointers or help. Thanks, --YanReceived on 2007-06-27 14:00:20
