I should really do this.

think you

Is there a way to setup my Raspberry Pi 2 as a H@th client device? Because it uses a LOT less power than my PC and I really don't need a bill that huge (10 Watts p/hr vs 434 Watts p/hr).

If someone could make one for it that'd make this a lot more efficient because there'd be cheap dedicated machines to use.

I did run H@H on a Raspberry Pi B (haven't tried B+ yet) and it runs alright. The two main issues with the Pi are power and network speed: For the former it might be wise to attach a separately powered HDD to have enough cache space, powering an HDD from the Pi makes things slow. On the later the Pi's network card is just plain slow, if you have a decent internet speed (e.g. 5-10MB/s upload) it is unlikely that the Pi will cope with it.

Well, my internet's not too impressive, so that'll do fine. Would a USB Flash drive (Say 32GB) work well?

I suppose you might hit a lesser but similar issue, the more stuff (without its own power source) you connect to the Pi the less power it has to throw at the ARM.

If you want to try the PI without an external disk i'd suggest to buy a 64GB memory card and carefully write the OS iso onto it (the you have some ~60 GBs for H@H cache.)

dont use flash drive for H@H since flash drive is slow.

my usb flash disk only have 5 MBps write/read speed on large files.

if small files. much slower too. at lease use sandisk ultra sdhc. it has up to 30/48 MBps read/write or some better card.

Well, if nothing else I've got an external 1TB Hitachi HDD with its own power source, but it's only 5200 rpms instead of 7200. It's completely empty right now too.

it much better. 5200 RPM can read/write up to 22~30 MBps IF nothing wrong with that HDD.

My H@H client seems to put the fff: in front of my IP address, does that cause it not to work or is something else affecting my H@H Client.

ffff: just means: "look i could have been a brand new IPv6 address but i'm just an old IPv4 address"

The internet works on IPv4 address, for the next 10 years at at least.

my vps support ipv6, why h@h didnt use that ip ?

H@H uses IPv4 exclusively for the time being.

but maybe some day since IPv6 seems to be planned http://ehwiki.org/wiki/To_Be_Added#E-Hentai

Huh? So is the IP address ok or do I need to do something to change it?

It's fine.

PERFECT

it seems hentai@home being cached in my vps

why ?

the ram is big.

I suppose that what they do is similar to free -h (but just run that to compare and be sure).

For linux cached memory simply means: the kernel believes that a certain process or several processes (in your case it is just H@H) might need to allocate memory quickly, therefore the kernel caches the memory for faster malloc (memory allocation) calls. i.e. that memory is free, but the kernel is keeping it in a separate stash because it might be needed quickly.

You can do this (as root)

CODE

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

to destroy the memory cache. But, given that H@H never stays idle for long, the kernel will just rebuild the cache back after some time.

The "cached" readout doesn't have anything to do with the size of the H@H process, it's purely coincidental that they are both 600-some MB. "Cached" means how much RAM is currently in used for disk caching.

As for H@H being 600-some MB, that's just the virtual memory space of the process, not the amount of real system memory it's using. As you can see from your readout, the system is only using 80-ish MB total. Outside of on some older virtualization solutions, it's not a problem.
