Driving me crazy
This little Inforce IFC 6410 is a really good ARM system but there’s a little glitch that is driving me crazy: I just can’t make it see the Micro SD plugged in. I cannot even make the device appear under /dev or in the dmesg log. Any help welcome, of course.
As the author clearly stated in a comment, this is more of a proof-of-concept for learning ceph, not for a real deploy as it’s not meant to be cheaper per GB, but cheaper for initial cost: a “3 figure cost of entry way to begin learning ceph”.
Even today (year 2017) an x86 based solution will have a minimum cost much higher while giving higher performances (129€ just for a single CPU board plus case without memory and storage)
