[02:32:12] <aTypical> jmcp, I'm whining on #solaris how I'm bored with Linux and Windows.  I want to try something else.  I was just wondering if other non-technical people are running Solaris on their laptops and what their success was.
[02:33:31] <jamesd> do you always walk into to sears and  ace hardware and whine that your hardware and screwdrivers are boring?  computers are tools...
[02:34:06] <aTypical> james_, I don't always, but often.
[02:34:20] <jamesd> how aTypical ...

[02:35:52] <aTypical> I really didn't mean to piss off the group.  I'm sorry if I did.  I just thought that solaris might be a fun OS to work with and was wondering how others were using it.
[02:36:27] <Kitty> I run solaris on my coffee table and my foot rest

[05:19:25] <jteo> the versioning FS discussion has taken on a life of it's own. :|

[05:28:55] * jmcp wanders back in
[05:29:03] *** lloy0076 has quit IRC
[05:29:17] <jmcp> jteo: I think it's the most long-lived of any thread I've seen since opensolaris.org when live
[05:30:04] *** g4lt has joined #opensolaris
[05:33:03] <Sir-Al> versioning fs is a cool idea
[05:35:52] <jteo> jmcp: unforunately everyone has a different idea of what a versioning FS should do.
[05:36:12] *** bank has joined #opensolaris
[05:36:40] <Sir-Al> they should make zfs more robust before they go on to implement features like versioning
[05:36:58] <bank> versioning?
[05:37:02] <bank> subversion control?
[05:37:45] <bank> morning all.

[05:45:09] <steleman> hiya jmcp :-)
[05:45:12] <jteo> "star solved all these problems in 1988"
[05:45:25] <jmcp> nono, "solved... since at 15 years"
[05:45:32] * jmcp chuckles
[05:45:42] <jmcp> hmm needmorecaffeine
[05:46:16] <Sir-Al> star?  not star again
[05:46:21] <boyd> jteo: You know, I was wondering (but didn't want to add to the thread) How much of what's wanted would be solved with a sorta half-way solution: an easy too to say "What snapshotted versions of this file are there (ignoring identical snapshots)" and "copy back the version from snapshot x"
[05:46:41] <Sir-Al> i think that an api would be the best bet
[05:46:48] <Sir-Al> shell extensions are easily integrated
[05:46:49] <boyd> umm  s/easy too to/easy to use/
[05:46:58] <Sir-Al> gui tools into gnome could be done in almost a day
[05:47:12] <bank> hi boyd,jmcp
[05:47:13] <Sir-Al> the only tricky part is nfs
[05:47:24] <boyd> I agree... I suspect that an API could get that answer faster than using stat
[05:47:30] <Sir-Al> the rest, samba, afp, cli, is all good
[05:48:00] <boyd> Sir-Al: Yeah... Seems to me that NFS being deficient is not a reason to not implement it. NFSv4 allows extensions to the protocol
[05:48:45] <Sir-Al> and by the time we have versioning in production, i would assume nfs v4 would be more prevalent
[05:49:17] <Sir-Al> linux is mostly nfs v4, the later bsds are as well.. mac isn't
[05:49:36] <jamesd> except linux's v4 is mostly broken
[05:50:34] <boyd> That's so people used to their v3 are comfortable
[05:52:36] <jteo> boyd: a shell script would do for that.
[05:53:32] <boyd> jteo: I agree... I just wonder if it could be more optimized with help from the fs later... otherwise it's at least 1 stat/snapshot plus a stack of metadata lookups just to list them
[05:54:23] <jteo> boyd: imho, implementation wouldn't be tough. the question is how people want it. i'm leaning towards a specialize api via openat right now.
[05:54:26] <Sir-Al> yeah, i don't have much experience with linux nfs, but from what i used, i had a few issues with using v4, so i reverted to v3 and it was all good...
[05:54:56] <Sir-Al> linux nfs is better than mac nfs by a large margin though, i can only get like 500k to 12000kb/sec between my mac and solaris server
[05:55:05] <Sir-Al> while using CIFS i get around 50 - 100mb/sec
[05:58:40] *** g4lt has quit IRC
[06:01:51] <delewis> Sir-Al: copying files through Finder or using 'cp' and friends?
[06:02:00] <Sir-Al> delewis: mr Finder
[06:02:08] <delewis> that's the problem :-)
[06:02:17] <delewis> Try using 'cp' -- you'll see a difference
[06:02:18] <Sir-Al> ya well i don't expect my users to use cp
[06:02:24] <Sir-Al> especially when most things can't be copied with cp
[06:02:37] <delewis> Finder does something silly like reading back every block written or something
[06:02:39] <Sir-Al> delewis: actually i did have performance problems with cp as well
[06:02:56] <delewis> I get normal speeds when not using Finder
[06:02:57] <Sir-Al> delewis: maybe ditto works too
[06:03:00] <Sir-Al> hmm
[06:03:13] <Sir-Al> delewis: too bad i can't test it out because my zpool won't mount
[06:04:32] <boyd> jteo: Any thoughts on the interface?
[06:05:00] <boyd> delewis: Are you aware that cp -Rp preserves more attributes than ditto these days?
[06:05:09] <jteo> boyd: nope. ;(
[06:05:23] <jteo> do we really want special tools to access versions?
[06:05:59] <boyd> jteo: Not really... I was just trying to think of a way to make the existing facilities provide much of the target.
[06:06:49] <jteo> boyd: the thread has proponents stating that versioning doesn't give us anything we don't have already.
[06:08:40] <boyd> Which I think is untrue, but it's hard to think of an automatic way to make it work. Maybe on close if there has been any write() s
[06:10:07] *** NilsAN has quit IRC
[06:10:22] <bank> :)
[06:10:55] *** NilsAN has joined #opensolaris
[06:11:19] <jteo> it's a vicious cycle: apps only expect a simple POSIX bucket of bits, and no one wants to use new apps.
[06:12:20] <boyd> Yeah... I was thinking the same thing about some of the reiser semantics.
[06:13:03] <boyd> It's a shame, since I think there are some facilities that could be added to what the FS provides beyond Posix..
[06:13:45] <jteo> a way out of this would be to extend JDS to be version aware first, and then start extending apps.
[06:14:04] <jteo> and it just ocurred to me OpenOffice is probably more complex than zfs.
[06:14:15] <boyd> I'm sure it is.
[06:14:37] <jteo> it shouldn't be. (OpenOffice)
[06:14:37] *** bank has quit IRC
[06:14:50] <boyd> Yeah, JDS integration would be a good kick. In fact, if the open dialog supported it it could be largely automatic in many apps
[06:15:22] <jteo> boyd: excellent idea! ;)

[06:16:11] <boyd> s/uses/users
[06:18:08] <jmcp> I don't think it's bad for naive users, I think it's a pretty good idea actually - helps with the "oh crap what did I do with my file when I had X in it?" questions
[06:18:48] <boyd> Look at what apple are doing with Time Machine. It's a nice front end on versioning (in effect) with some application integration
[06:18:51] <jteo> do people really lose that much work in between snapshots?
[06:18:52] <jmcp> what's needed is a consistent interface and semantics
[06:18:59] <jmcp> jteo: dunno
[06:19:34] <boyd> Depends how often they're taken... also, taking snapshot while a file is open is probably bad
[06:19:41] <boyd> ... or at least not optimal
[06:19:59] <jteo> boyd: it's not bad. matt says it should be really quick now.
[06:20:26] <boyd> I actually mean bad for the file contents integrity, not performance
[06:21:32] <jteo> boyd: it doesn't affect integrity because all pending transactions have to complete before a snapshot is comitted.
[06:21:43] <jteo> integrity from the app perspective is another issue. ;)
[06:21:44] <richlowe> jteo: integrity from the view of the application, not the FS
[06:22:00] <boyd> For me, the biggest problems with 5-minute snapshots are: 1) filesystem granularity (someone mentioned the 4GB video file that's deleted) and 2) it's hard to simply see the list of *different* versions of a single file. 2) is easy to solve with user space code. 1), less so.
[06:22:05] <richlowe> oh, sure, think ahead and beat me to it. ;)
[06:22:06] <jteo> fflush would be a good candidate.
[06:22:07] <boyd> Yeah, I mean integrity from the ap
[06:22:08] <jteo> ;)
[06:22:09] <boyd> app
[06:22:55] <boyd> There is also potentially 3) several changes in one 5-minute period
[06:23:24] <jteo> which begs the question: doesn't your app have undo?
[06:24:01] <boyd> Not if it's a script or I quit it :)
[06:24:48] <jteo> true.
[06:25:50] <boyd> I like the extended attributes thing. JDS integration would help. Only other q I can thing of at the moment is "how do I roll a file back 1 rev?" I can't copy an extended attr on top of the file it's attached to... oh, no.. maybe I can, in fact.
[06:26:11] <boyd> Are extended attributes (solaris style) visible across nfs?
[06:28:04] <boyd> Of course, extended attrs won't help in the "oops, I rm'ed the wrong file" scenario, since all the attrs go too. but there's still snapshots

[06:36:50] *** Kernel86 has quit IRC
[06:42:42] <jteo> in other words, the reference to the tree that represents the file versions should be stored outside the latest rev.
[06:42:45] <jteo> hmm.
[06:43:20] <boyd> Well, only for that case.... on the other hand from an interface POV *inside* the rev is much nicer
[06:44:33] <jteo> i'll spend a while reading before summarizing everything in a blog entry.

[06:50:34] <boyd> Umm..
[06:51:22] <boyd> Well, I'm more thinking along the lines of "what behaviour do we want, how will that affect all current uses of the FS, *then* think about implementation."

[08:02:53] <richlowe> I must admit, I still don't entirely see the point in general.
[08:03:01] <twincest> of what, the linux studio?
[08:03:07] <richlowe> beyond muttered curses at gdb every now and then, obviously.
[08:03:10] <richlowe> twincest: Yeah.

[08:04:36] <richlowe> It's not the utility of it.
[08:04:55] <richlowe> it's the fact that no matter how good (or not good) it is, I doubt it's going to have enough users to cause it to have been worth the (assumed) effort.

[08:35:55] <jengelh> Indeed.
[08:36:09] <jengelh> (And thank God debian is not the only one available for sparc)
[08:39:32] <twincest> the compilers don't even run on linux sparc, do they?
[08:41:26] <jengelh> asking whom?
[08:41:33] <twincest> boyd
[08:41:47] <jengelh> sunstudio?
[08:41:52] <twincest> yes
[08:41:59] <jengelh> should test :)
[08:42:16] <twincest> i only saw a linux x86 download on sdlc yesterday
[08:42:36] <jengelh> Generally it seems possible to run solaris binaries on linux-sparc, using emulation
[08:42:56] <twincest> well, okay, but that's not a good way to run your standard compiler :)
[08:43:06] <twincest> although i did manage to make Intel icc produce Solaris x86 binaries, it was quite a pain
[08:43:26] * jengelh mumbles: just use gcc
[08:45:11] * twincest thought gcc was quite suboptimal on sparc..
[08:49:11] <tsoome> gcc used to be quite crap:(
[08:49:26] <tsoome> not sure about current state
[08:49:29] <twincest> i've been quite unimpressed with it on x86 as well recently
[08:49:50] <twincest> i wrote something yesterday to benchmark a tst/hash table implementation, and icc ran it at least 3-4 times faster than gcc
[08:50:14] <twincest> not that that's a typical workload, but still

[09:39:54] <quasi> darkie33: it supports some very good drivers... but doesn't quite have as many as one could wish for

[09:40:45] <darkie33> quasi:does it have this sis chipset support?
[09:40:50] <quasi> darkie33: probably fairly decent
[09:40:59] <quasi> darkie33: good question
[09:41:09] <twincest> for graphics you have Xorg
[09:41:56] <darkie33> i am not having any luck in linux for sis.. want to migrate to solaris now..
[09:43:49] * Stric used sis in linux on one computer up until the other day without much trouble
[09:45:03] <darkie33> Stric:well glgears gives really poor results..
[09:45:25] *** Dar_HOME is now known as Dar
[09:46:13] <Stric> darkie33: sis isn't really known for their top 3d performance..
[09:46:26] <Stric> if you want that, go ati or nvidia.
[09:46:40] <Stric> and if you want driver support in linux or solaris, go nvidia.
[09:47:11] <darkie33> Stric:oh well i just want a decent performance..
[09:47:44] <darkie33> in the sense that if in windows i can get a decent performance i want it same in linux or solaris..
[09:50:07] <Stric> in linux, enable dri/drm thingie in the kernel and you should get better speed than software rendering..
[09:50:45] *** ShadowHntr has joined #opensolaris
[09:51:10] <darkie33> Stric:oh i am not able to do that because of no driver support i guess..
[09:52:58] <Stric> I replaced my sis machine a few days ago so I can't verify the performance (and i didn't use it before because it was on my video/projector/tv machine).. but I believe I tested glxgears and got some performance.. never tried windows on it..

[10:31:52] <|ReIkO|> Do you know how can verify a x509 certificate signature ?
[10:33:47] <andersmo> $ openssl verify -h
[10:33:48] <andersmo> usage: verify [-verbose] [-CApath path] [-CAfile file] [-purpose purpose] [-crl_check] [-engine e] cert1 cert2 ...
[10:36:15] * quasi looks around in confusion - did I make a wrong turn and step into #openssl ;)
[10:36:46] <lasseoe> no no, this is #anything_goes
[10:37:53] <quasi> ah, that explains it ;)
[10:38:27] <andersmo> This is #reiko_asks_lots_of_ssl_related_questions, and I intended to give a not-so-subtle hint about where to look for an answer. =)
[10:38:50] <lasseoe> andersmo, yeah it was a real head scratcher :)
[10:40:42] <|ReIkO|> andersmo I need not command line
[10:40:45] <|ReIkO|> but C code
[10:40:48] <|ReIkO|> call
[10:41:02] <lasseoe> Reiko, try in #ssl #openssl #c or something
[10:41:09] <PerterB> use the source, |ReIkO|
[10:41:28] <quasi> or pay someone to do your work
[10:42:13] <andersmo> |ReIkO|: This channel isn't concerned with PKI and related problems, you're probably better off asking people who are actually interested in such problems. =)
[10:42:37] <|ReIkO|> asyd is my relator :)
[10:43:48] <andersmo> |ReIkO|: Anyway, if I had to figure out how to verify x509 certificates programmatically, I'd start with the openssl source and figure out how they do it. =)
[10:44:07] <|ReIkO|> andersmo I'm doing that
[10:44:18] <andersmo> But openssl is completely unrelated to OpenSolaris. =)
[10:44:31] <|ReIkO|> this is the problem
[10:44:44] <|ReIkO|> openssl is bad documented
[10:45:11] <quasi> |ReIkO|: don't blame that on opensolaris
[10:45:38] <andersmo> There are probably commercial well-documented libraries around. (They need to be well documented because you probably won't see the source? =)
[10:45:53] <andersmo> Still, not OS related. =)

[11:33:02] <lloy0076> I have the most stupid question.
[11:33:15] <lloy0076> I've just installed OpenSolaris ON from DVD on my laptop...
[11:33:18] <lloy0076> I'm running Gnome.
[11:33:23] <lloy0076> It's running perfectly...
[11:33:32] <lloy0076> BUT there's no shutdown the computer button or option!
[11:33:33] <lloy0076> :(
[11:33:56] <lloy0076> I can't see one from the XDM/GDM or in any of my menus.
[11:34:22] <jengelh> manage solaris or it will manage you
[11:35:06] <quasi> lloy0076: init 5 in a console will do the trick
[11:35:12] <jengelh> init 0
[11:35:23] <lloy0076> Yes, that would however it would be nice to not have to do something like that.
[11:35:34] * quasi kicks jengelh
[11:35:38] <jengelh> quasi: what
[11:36:13] <quasi> lloy0076: I think you have to exit and then choose it from the general screen
[11:36:23] * lloy0076 hmmm
[11:36:34] <lloy0076> I'll try that again.
[11:36:41] <quasi> jengelh: 0 may be a problem in some cases - 5 is fine
[11:36:56] <jengelh> quasi: he said shutdown, not startx
[11:37:01] <lloy0076> :)
[11:37:22] <lloy0076> init 0 should initiate a shutdown.
[11:37:23] <quasi> jengelh: sure, and init 5 is poweroff
[11:37:28] <jengelh> huh
[11:37:32] <jengelh> weird solaris thing...
[11:37:37] <lloy0076> And I'll try init 5 if I can't find the whatsy.
[11:37:40] <lloy0076> Anyway, off I go.
[11:37:43] *** lloy0076 has left #opensolaris

[11:38:35] <quasi> linux is inconsistent as hell, don't suggest something from there because you assume it may be the same in solaris
[11:39:00] <quasi> then killall will get you in serious trouble on older solaris
[11:39:28] <PerterB> linux run levels are gratuitously different from historical System V run levels
[11:39:33] <jengelh> i don't think killall (sol) supports names so it just errors out

[11:48:50] <GreenHat> ipv4cksum() question: I am using this method to set checksum of a modified ip header in a module ; strangely in a sniffer I see "incorrect checksum" for these packets ; what is odd is that if we add 4 to each checksum we get the correct answer !!
[11:48:51] <asyd>    
[11:49:19] <GreenHat> for example : 0xb824 instead of the correct which is 0xb828
[11:49:27] <GreenHat> and this is consistent !
[11:49:44] <GreenHat> could it be something related to that I am using it on SPARC ?
[11:50:04] *** jmcp has joined #opensolaris
[11:50:21] <GreenHat> I knwo I can simply add 4 but I don't want to without understanding

[11:53:40] <PerterB> (sorry)
[11:55:13] <GreenHat> why?
[11:55:22] * jmcp notes that there have been 99 posts in jteo's versioning fs thread on zfs-discuss
[11:55:40] <GreenHat> not why sorry, but why does the original method not work?
[11:55:55] <GreenHat> because I see it is used in the kernel

[12:48:33] <GreenHat> any idea if I can know if my NIC performs chksum calc in hw ?
[12:50:05] <|ReIkO|> should be a default operation
[12:51:21] <GreenHat> so why for example there are checksum calcs in nat of solaris ? if the card does that job anyhow ?
[12:51:30] <Stric> I think ethereal/snoop/etc will say that all packets have the wrong checksum if it's done in hw
[12:53:05] <ofu> 120849-04 fixes bug 6380495 checksum is being calculated in software with ipge driver
[12:53:48] <twincest> green: not all cards can do hw checksums
[12:54:19] <GreenHat> I have e1000
[12:54:23] <GreenHat> (intel)
[12:54:30] <twincest> that's ipge
[12:54:35] <twincest> (the driver name changed)
[12:54:54] <GreenHat> is it true what Stric said about error when sniffing if it calc by hw ?
[12:55:38] <GreenHat> twincest, what do you mean ? I believe I work with /dev/e1000g0
[12:55:54] <twincest> yes, whether you have e1000g or ipge depends on which solaris release you use
[12:56:16] <twincest> but they're the same thing, intel 1GE
[12:56:18] <GreenHat> I am working on onnv-20060619 on sparc
[12:56:26] <GreenHat> (MIAGRA)
[12:56:56] <GreenHat> SO does it have hw checksum?
[12:57:12] <twincest> the card does, but whether solaris supports it presumably depends on what ofu was talking about

[12:57:43] <GreenHat> ofu ?

[12:59:22] <ofu> this patch was added to 10_Recommended on April, 2nd 06
[12:59:23] <GreenHat> http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/advsearch.do?collection=PATCH&type=collections&max=50&language=en&queryKey5=120849&toDocument=yes
[13:00:15] <GreenHat> So I assume it is with the opensoalris I have
[13:01:34] <GreenHat> twincest, so I understand that even that it talks about /kernel/drv/sparcv9/ipge , which I am not using, it is also relevant to /kernel/drv/sparcv9/e100g ?

[15:07:24] <Cyrille_> would he keep asking the question if it had occurred to him? ;-)
[15:07:44] <GreenHat> Cyrille_,
[15:07:47] <GreenHat> jmcp,
[15:08:02] *** triplah has quit IRC
[15:08:03] <GreenHat> I had mentioned it herer
[15:08:06] <GreenHat> here
[15:08:11] <GreenHat> I googled for it
[15:08:20] <GreenHat> googling is the default
[15:08:21] <jengelh> google harder
[15:08:26] <GreenHat> before IRC
[15:09:39] <GreenHat> "e1000g" "solaris" "hardware checksum offload"
[15:09:42] <GreenHat> gave 7 results...
[15:10:08] <GreenHat> non helped
[15:10:39] <asyd> check the driver source if available
[15:11:26] <GreenHat> it is NOT
[15:11:30] <GreenHat> available
[15:11:46] <GreenHat> I wish it would ; however
[15:11:51] <jengelh> maybe solaris can't do it at all
[15:11:57] <GreenHat> this NIC is on the T2000
[15:12:13] <GreenHat> so I assume people would want to use this feature
[15:12:18] <GreenHat> if possible
[15:12:29] <jengelh> there is more to sparc than solaris
[15:12:34] <GreenHat> they talk about 30% better performance
[15:12:56] <GreenHat> jengelh, did not understand your last sentence
[15:13:01] <jengelh> hehe
[15:13:02] <GreenHat> what do you mean by that ?
[15:13:13] <GreenHat> "there is more to sparc than solaris"
[15:13:16] <GreenHat> ?
[15:13:28] <GreenHat> more what?
[15:13:31] <jengelh> solaris is not the only thing to run on sparc, hence, there are other OS to run with e1000
[15:13:51] *** loke has joined #opensolaris
[15:14:03] <GreenHat> ok. so you suggest to see if it is supported on
[15:14:07] <GreenHat> the other OS

[15:14:22] <bank> seem like you are busy during these 2-3 days
[15:14:24] <GreenHat> ok
[15:14:26] <jengelh> see if OBP can do it
[15:14:36] <jengelh> (though would be overkill)
[15:14:40] <trygvis> why would obp support hardware checksumming?
[15:14:40] <GreenHat> what is OBP
[15:14:40] <bank> I am converting data mining algo from C++ to java.
[15:14:48] <jengelh> what, you got a sparc and don't know what obp is?
[15:14:54] <jengelh> i need a drink...
[15:14:55] <GreenHat> I knew
[15:14:58] <GreenHat> and forget
[15:15:00] <GreenHat> really
[15:15:34] <jmcp> GreenHat: OBP = "OpenBoot Prom" - an implementation of IEEE-1275 aka Open Firmware

[16:12:03] <cd32fan> can someone help,please

[16:18:02] *** Mazon is now known as mazon
[16:21:53] <cd32fan> hey loke
[16:21:57] <cd32fan> my question is
[16:22:04] <cd32fan> on the partition menu
[16:22:46] <cd32fan> is it possible that when im installing Solaris,that my xp install will be erased?
[16:23:20] <loke> cd32fan: very possible :-)  I have no idea. I have never had anything except solaris on my systems
[16:23:31] <cd32fan> hmmm
[16:23:43] <cd32fan> i was wise no to proceed with the install
[16:23:48] <tfb> cd32fan: do you have a spare partition for Solaris?
[16:23:58] <tfb> I mean, do you already have one?
[16:24:03] * jmcp sleeps
[16:24:04] <jmcp> gnite all
[16:24:06] <cd32fan> no
[16:24:07] <loke> cd32fan: why would you want something else on the system? It's just annoying
[16:24:20] <cd32fan> i only have C: and D: 2 hard disks
[16:24:23] <loke> cd32fan: if you just want to check out what Solaris is like, you can install it in WMware
[16:24:31] <tfb> yeah, do that
[16:24:46] <cd32fan> but if i like it
[16:24:55] <cd32fan> how do i partition my hard disk?
[16:25:01] <cd32fan> and keep xp
[16:25:04] <loke> cd32fan: then you flip it around. Install Solaris and then run windows in WMware :-)
[16:25:13] <tfb> I don't know how to shrink the XP partition(s), sorry
[16:25:20] <cd32fan> hmmm
[16:25:24] *** sparc-kly has joined #opensolaris
[16:25:24] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o sparc-kly
[16:25:32] <loke> tfb: he has two hard drives. No need to shrink.
[16:25:42] <cd32fan> right
[16:25:47] <tfb> Well, so long as one is not in use by XP?
[16:26:02] <cd32fan> but on install there is only partition available
[16:26:10] <tfb> Then it ought to be fine to install on the spare disk
[16:26:30] <cd32fan> there doesnt appear to be 2 harddisks recognized
[16:26:42] <cd32fan> only 1
[16:27:42] <cd32fan> weird
[16:27:43] <rydis> Not to be insulting, but is it really two disks, and not just one partitioned disk?
[16:27:50] <cd32fan> no
[16:27:56] <cd32fan> i have 2 hard disks ;)
[16:28:04] <tfb> are they on the same controller?
[16:28:08] <cd32fan> yes
[16:28:34] <hali> controller as in chipset as well, not just hooked up to the same motherboard.. my motherboard has three chips for SATA junk
[16:28:35] <tfb> Then I don't know, sorry - seems to me the installer should see both...
[16:29:02] <hali> whereof only the sillicon image one work in opensolaris...
[16:31:40] <janus_man> and only on intel/amd
[16:32:09] <cd32fan> so,in normal conditions the 2 hard disk should be recognized by Fdisk?
[16:32:36] <hali> cd32fan: yes, might be worth moving them around the sata ports on the motherboard if you want to play around a bit :)
[16:32:37] <cd32fan> even if they are full?
[16:33:00] <hali> or boot a knoppix CD and check what chipset they are detected under
[16:36:48] <cd32fan> thanks all for the help
[16:37:54] <cd32fan> i think i will try WMware first :)
[16:38:40] <loke> cd32fan: that's a good choice

[19:47:28] <cd32fan> it says abort core dumped.
[19:47:31] <tsoome> trygvis: and snoop/tcpdump is telling what?
[19:47:41] <cd32fan> im using WMware btw
[19:48:12] 
[19:49:32] <trygvis> tsoome: what should I be looking for? seems like I only have tcpdump here
[19:50:07] <trygvis> the debian server is under heavy/moderate load, but for some reason the osol client freezes
[19:50:15] <tsoome> what is the last nfs request/response before freeze
[19:51:07] <tsoome> snoop is included in solaris
[19:52:37] <tsoome> also what version of nfs, what transport (tcp or udp), the block size....
[19:53:31] <trygvis> I've limited the client to 3 on the solaris side, other than that I haven't set anything

[20:03:40] <trygvis> is that an educated guess or plain trolling?
[20:04:25] <tsoome> linux in not exactly known about reliable implementation of nfs....

[20:04:57] <dwc-> that's an educated guess

[20:05:10] <dwc-> the nfs implementation on linux isn't known for being compatible with anything but itself
[20:05:31] <sickness> well, every nfs implementation has it's own caveats/quirks :/
[20:05:36] <trygvis> tsoome: and what will your trolling prove? ..

[20:06:03] *** Elendal has joined #opensolaris
[20:06:06] <tsoome> I had an client asking for help. they did migrate from linux to solaris server, and they did discover the code working "okay" on linux, was giving core dumps on solaris....
[20:06:23] <dwc-> try nfsv3... try switching from udp to tcp or vice versa
[20:06:35] <tsoome> and smaller block size
[20:06:38] <sickness> try the various nfs options that you have, like udp/tcp proto, modify the buffers, the retry, and the wait time

[20:06:40] <trygvis> I'm using v3 only
[20:06:46] <tsoome> sparc
[20:06:50] <trygvis> how/where do I set these options?
[20:06:55] <dwc-> linux on sparc or x86?
[20:06:56] *** [tfb] has joined #opensolaris
[20:07:39] <sickness> usually in the /etc/fstab mount line
[20:07:47] <sickness> or mount -t nfs -o options

[20:08:22] *** tfb has quit IRC
[20:08:33] <dwc-> core dumps when switching endianness sounds more like doing some non-byte-endian-independent operations more than any inherent brokenness or superiority of one OS over another
[20:09:00] <tsoome> treue, but in that case, the code was plain broken...
[20:09:36] * dwc- shrugs
[20:09:43] <dwc-> every OS has code problems
[20:09:51] <tsoome> but it dis run fine in linux was the argument....
[20:09:56] <trygvis> is the nfsv4 fs in linux useful or too unstable?
[20:10:20] <tsoome> you can try to find answer via google
[20:11:08] <tsoome> of course, your problem may be just plain dns/name resolver issue as well....
[20:11:21] <trygvis> oh sorry, I forgot I wasn't supposed to ask any questions here ..

[20:12:42] *** Elendal has quit IRC
[20:12:49] <tsoome> therefore if I do the google or you;) I'd prefer the last option:)
[20:13:17] <trygvis> oki
[20:13:51] <tsoome> anyhow what was the request  before server not responding?
[20:13:58] <trygvis> what's the deal with the dns/name resolver issue?
[20:14:24] <tsoome> well, it depends how you are defining an access to your nfs share
[20:14:31] <trygvis> I'm capturing now but it's currently frozen
[20:14:37] <trygvis> world has access to the share
[20:14:39] <tsoome> if you are using names, thei must resolv
[20:15:03] <trygvis> I do, but the are already connected
[20:15:26] <tsoome> frozen? but the client is repeating the request?
[20:15:34] <trygvis> nope
[20:16:03] <tsoome> ah, then you are probably using tcp transport, try udp instead
[20:16:14] <trygvis> now I suddenly got this: http://rafb.net/paste/results/RzxC6c67.html
[20:16:35] <trygvis> I don't see how I could be using tcp, I haven't set that option anywhere
[20:17:04] <tsoome> it's the default for nfsv3
[20:17:06] <tsoome> and 4
[20:17:15] <trygvis> oh
[20:17:53] <trygvis> are you sure about that? from debians's nfs(5) man: udp            Mount the NFS filesystem using the UDP protocol.  This is the default.
[20:18:02] <tsoome> also, solaris will try to default 32k blocks, you may try to make this smaller at first
[20:18:08] <trygvis> and for the tcp option: Many NFS servers only support UDP.
[20:18:22] <tsoome> udp only is for nfsv2
[20:18:24] <delewis> NFSv3 uses UDP, IIRC, and falls back to TCP
[20:18:31] <delewis> NFSv4 does TCP by default
[20:18:38] <trygvis> http://rafb.net/paste/results/FpdNPl21.html
[20:18:43] <trygvis> next set of traffic
[20:18:54] <trygvis> I guess the three minutes is about a tcp timeout
[20:19:16] <trygvis> now it's back to full speed again

[20:19:47] *** solarisjon has joined #opensolaris
[20:20:19] <tsoome> I'm pretty sure solaris NFSv3 is tcp by default
[20:20:32] <tsoome> of course, I may be wrong....
[20:20:37] <delewis> maybe it's TCP and falls back to UDP
[20:20:43] <delewis> I always get it mixed
[20:21:02] <delewis> why it would try UDP in the first place when TCP works doesn't make much sense, anyway.
[20:21:08] <tsoome> but afterall I have worked quite a while with nfs servers:)
[20:21:15] <trygvis> now it locked up again, last tcpdump lines: http://rafb.net/paste/results/MQyzRj87.html
[20:22:43] <tsoome> at first - try to use smaller blocks - rsize option for mount_nfs
[20:22:48] <trygvis> how do I set protocol to be udp in solaris (no man pages in osol yet). mount -o proto=udp?
[20:22:54] <trygvis> oki
[20:23:04] *** jcea has joined #opensolaris
[20:23:09] <tsoome> man mount_nfs will help
[20:23:22] <trygvis> not if I don't have any man pages

[20:23:43] <tsoome> man google ;)
[20:23:51] <tsoome> the net is full of them
[20:24:02] <tsoome> including reference man pages in docs

[20:24:43] <richlowe> trygvis: exactly as you said.
[20:24:58] <trygvis> thanks
[20:25:24] <richlowe> but udp is not usable for NFSv4

[21:25:03] <axisys> can someone explain why it says 30 shaes instead of 60 shares here http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/NF2dz299.html
[21:25:14] <axisys> this is an exerpt from brendan's page
[21:25:22] <axisys> http://users.tpg.com.au/adsln4yb/zones.html this page
[21:35:44] <quasi> axisys: because shares != %
[21:35:52] <gdamore> hi *
[21:36:50] <axisys> quasi: is it exactly half? he is setting up four zones and he has 8 cpus
[21:36:51] <quasi> axisys: if you hand out 50 shares in total, 30 of those make 60% of the total shares
[21:37:18] <axisys> quasi: i c
[21:38:06] <axisys> so shares would be multiple of number of zones i have.. sorta?!
[21:38:11] <quasi> no
[21:38:45] <quasi> shares is a function of how many you hand out
[21:38:46] <axisys> well would be a multiple of how many zones i put under FSS?
[21:38:58] <quasi> no
[21:39:05] <axisys> hmm..
[21:40:19] <axisys> on this page http://users.tpg.com.au/adsln4yb/zones.html brendan decided to give 60% to zone1 .. so how did he pick 30 shares?
[21:40:53] <quasi> because the total number of shares handed out is 50 - 60% of that is 30
[21:41:27] <quasi> get it?
[21:41:55] <axisys> how did u decide how many shares to hand out?
[21:42:06] <axisys> or how do u rather
[21:42:07] <richlowe> axisys: shares aren't anything but a value relative to other shares.
[21:42:40] <richlowe> The total number would seem to do little other than affect the granularity you have.
[21:42:43] <bank> I think it not gonna ask CD 2 anymore
[21:42:48] <bank> it goes in to CDE
[21:43:40] <axisys> richlowe: so say i have 5 zones and I have 8 cpus.. i decided to have zone1 with 50% of shares
[21:43:55] <axisys> richlowe: so that would be 20 share?
[21:44:04] <_william_> gn
[21:44:05] *** _william_ has left #opensolaris
[21:44:14] <bank> can I run setup again..
[21:44:28] <quasi> axisys: could be 20 or could be 200 - it all depends on what scale you choose
[21:44:44] <axisys> quasi: gotcha
[21:44:55] <bank> oh i got step 2 now
[21:44:56] <bank> sorry
[21:45:53] <quasi> axisys: so you want 50% for one zone and the other 4 to share the rest equally?
[21:45:56] <axisys> can i have zone1 with 4 cpus fixed and other 4 zones to share 4 cpus?
[21:46:07] <quasi> yes
[21:46:13] <bank> and it disappear...
[21:46:21] <axisys> quasi: (yes)
[21:46:32] <bank> see the blue background with sendmail notify.
[21:46:47] <quasi> axisys: so give 4 shares to the big zone and 1 to each of the other
[21:47:11] <quasi> (except you _really_ don't want to forget the global zone ;)
[21:47:50] <bank> I see..because the machine is too slow
[21:47:55] <axisys> quasi: how do i make sure global zone get enough shares beside putting in SMF script?
[21:48:15] <axisys> with prctl command in it
[21:48:30] <quasi> axisys: read the rest of the guide ;)
[21:49:04] <axisys> quasi: according to that guide use SMF for global to get enough shares.. i was wondering if there is any other ways

[21:58:00] <bank> paint over
[21:58:10] <axisys> quasi: global zone is out of FSS now ..
[21:58:34] <axisys> quasi: so can i have one zone with a fixed number of cpus while other zones share the rest of cpus?
[21:59:07] <axisys> quasi: i guess i can .. i guess that what u unanswered when u said keep them out of FSS
[21:59:42] <quasi> yes, I'm pretty sure Brendan had an example of that - binding processor sets to different pools
[22:00:43] <axisys> yeap he does .. not sure if i could mix and match
[22:01:13] <quasi>         pool httpd-pool
[22:01:13] <quasi>                 int     pool.sys_id 8
[22:01:31] <quasi> string  pool.scheduler FSS
[22:01:43] <quasi> pset    pset_default
[22:02:02] <quasi> could have been another pset
[22:02:29] <asyd> the kernel flag for a reconfigure boot is -r right ?
[22:02:38] <richlowe> Yes.
[22:02:42] <asyd> quasi: you remember my story about the dedicatedserver ?
[22:02:58] <asyd> I imported via dd a ufs from another server to a new one
[22:03:11] <asyd> when I try to boot it, I have a kernel error 'can't find root fs'
[22:03:14] <axisys> quasi: i c
[22:03:19] <asyd> but when I boot in safe mode
[22:03:36] <asyd> it ask me if I want to mount c0t0d0 as /a
[22:03:41] <axisys> so pool.sys_id 8 means processor number 8 correct?
[22:03:44] <asyd> so the problem is not a driver one
[22:04:06] <quasi> axisys: wrong
[22:04:23] <axisys> quasi: never mind :P
[22:04:24] <quasi> axisys: just a number on the pool that the httpd zone is in
[22:04:43] <axisys> quasi: i realized after i asked u the question..

[22:36:51] <asyd> yeah, me too
[22:37:40] <asyd> it'svery strange than backspace, arrows work. But editing a file with vi is horrible, more or less impossible
[22:37:54] <rydis> The problem most likely is that you have cols and rows wrong, I think. Does stty give you any help there?
[22:38:08] <dwc-> why would arrows work?
[22:38:08] <richlowe> that sounds like a reasonable assumption.
[22:38:27] <dwc-> backspace sounds like an stty problem as well
[22:38:32] <quasi> rydis: yes, that is the problem because the console goes by a fixed number
[22:38:40] <asyd> ahh
[22:38:46] <dwc-> or you can alwyas try the delete key, the ^H combination, shift-backspace, etc.
[22:38:49] <asyd> I maybe doesn't have 80 cols right

[22:53:55] <alanc> 	4168119 "disabling rstatd causes an empty sdtperfmeter window which consumes a lot of cpu" was supposed to be fixed in S7 to keep it from running amok
[22:54:26] <alanc> I don't see any recent changes to sdtperfmeter
[22:55:19] <tsoome> perhaps there is a rstatd client library:)
[22:55:45] <gisburn> is there any bug that B48/SPARC network traffic can make a S8/SPARC box hang hard ?
[22:56:49] <alanc> if there was a client library, it'd be in ON so you'ld see the bug listed in the ON changelogs

[23:05:39] * gisburn looks at stevel
[23:05:59] <alanc> it showed up in my server messages tab, which gets very little traffic, so I still had it
[23:06:02] <richlowe> what is it you're actually looking for?
[23:06:16] <richlowe> ... beyond something to complain about, obviously ;)
[23:07:29] * gisburn consideres the options: Boiling stevel in hot oil, boil him in hot water, boil him in chicken soul, rip stevel into pieces, use stevel as test dummy for the next north korean atom bomb test, throw stevel into a deep pit filled with komodo dragons... does anyone have better ideas ?
[23:07:37] <Gman> now i know what it's like to run gnome on a sunblade 100 as my 'work' machine :(
[23:07:39] <libkeiser> thanks for making the topic sane, stevel :)
[23:07:43] <gisburn> s/soul/soup/
[23:07:51] * gisburn kicks libkeiser
[23:08:04] <gisburn> libkeiser: yeah, the /topic is now sane - and useless
[23:08:12] <Gman> no it's not
[23:08:15] <alanc> any of those options would seem to keep stevel from working on the external SCM, which would be bad
[23:08:20] * gisburn kicks Gman
[23:08:23] * Gman agrees with both libkeiser and stevel
[23:08:29] * gisburn kicks Gman harder
[23:08:40] *** stevel sets mode: +o Gman
[23:08:42] <Gman> you're in the minority ;)
[23:08:43] <stevel> feel free to kick back
[23:08:44] <axisys> i had to run this to give global zone 10 shares of CPU `prctl -n zone.cpu-shares -v 10 -r -i zone global'
[23:08:45] <stevel> ;-)
[23:08:50] <gisburn> Gman: want to be booiled in chicken soup ?
[23:08:57] <alanc> Gman: that's what I've got as my home desktop - upping the RAM to 1GB helped a bit
[23:09:03] <axisys> how do i make sure it always get 10 shares .. SMF is the only way?
[23:09:14] <Gman> alanc, this is a bog standard machine i think
[23:09:20] <alanc> which since it was something sane, like PC100 or PC133, wasn't too expensive
[23:09:21] <Gman> i'm not going to waste any of sun's money on it ;)
[23:09:44] <asyd> ah, very strange

[23:09:55] <asyd> even
[23:09:58] <alanc> definitely not a speed demon, even when it was new

[23:12:26] <richlowe> remount, too.
[23:12:57] <asyd> how ? mount -o remount,rw / ?

[23:16:49] *** dolske has joined #opensolaris
[23:17:07] <asyd> but hmm, since format doesn't found entry, I don't know which one I should use
[23:17:26] <asyd> I even wonder how I can have a prompt in the solaris :) sounds a bit magical
[23:17:41] <quasi> mount
[23:18:40] <asyd> on /pci@0,0/pci-ide@f/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a
[23:18:57] <asyd> that is the one I specified in bootpath in bootenv.rc
[23:19:30] <quasi> so what else is in /pci@0,0/
[23:19:55] <asyd> hmm
[23:20:01] <asyd> c1d0s5 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci-ide@7/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:f,raw
[23:20:13] <asyd> ah sorry
[23:20:29] <asyd> well, no device with ide@7 in /dev/rdsk
[23:20:39] <axisys> let me rephrase my question.. how do i make sure global zone always get 10 shares? run prtctl everytime it reboots is the only way?
[23:21:01] <axisys> 10 share of CPU that is .. or 1 CPU.. either way
[23:23:07] <asyd> I tried fstyp on every deviced I had on /dev/rdsk , found nothing

[23:34:27] <gisburn> Or "The Quest, Part 2" ?

[23:50:11] <Gman> the default setup in thunderbird is really not very nice
[23:50:16] <Gman> we should try fixing that..
[23:50:25] <ShadowHntr> what skin of evolution do they use with nexenta?
[23:52:02] <Gman> theme? likely to be something liike clearlooks
[23:52:02] <Jtara> Gman.. when would it be fixed?
[23:53:21] <asyd> it's is possible to populate /a/dev from a failsafe kernel ?
[23:54:01] <Gman> Jtara: i dunno, i guess i have to get people agreeing with me first...
[23:54:17] <Gman> plus there's the issue of modifications to thunderbird not preserving their branding thing
[23:54:26] <Jtara> ah okay
[23:58:53] <asyd> hmm running devfsadm in a chroot was a stupid idea
