[02:18:43] <rawn027> Tempt: hey
[02:20:12] <rawn027> is there an easy way to install all the system patches via command line over ssh?
[02:30:55] <Tempt> rawn027: get pca
[02:31:03] <rawn027> pca?
[02:31:45] <rawn027> i tried doing XDMCP but its failing, I enabled it on the solaris machine but there is some wierd error that i dont want to troubleshoot right now
[02:32:01] <rawn027> I would like to try and update my Sol 11/06 box to see if there is any fixes for my hardware
[02:32:08] <rawn027> mainly my mouse
[02:36:58] <Stric> google://solaris+pca
[02:37:38] <rawn027> got it :) thanks... is there no way built in to handle updates remotely?
[02:42:15] <Tempt> rawn027: Yes, there is - download the patches and use patchadd.
[02:42:24] <rawn027> haha eww :-P
[02:42:31] <Tempt> rawn027: If you want hands-off automated patching, either read up on smpatch or take the easy option and install PCA>
[02:42:40] <Tempt> anyway, meetings to attend
[02:42:51] <rawn027> thanks :)
[02:45:49] <coffman> rawn027: i would consider to get a look at smpatch also, once its registred its easy, and sometimes pca does not work cause some one at sun screws it up again
[02:46:18] <rawn027> is smpatch the one that is included? that little shield thingy lol
[02:46:41] <rawn027> right now my solaris install GUI is hanging so i cant do much anyway graphically but I am ssh'd into it
[02:47:06] <coffman> uhm
[02:47:44] <coffman> rawn027: so what you are planing to do? if your system is not done installed
[02:47:55] <coffman> take in mind installing solaris can take some time
[02:48:00] <coffman> 2 hours and more
[02:48:07] <rawn027> coffman: sorry, i mean like my installed solaris 10 box
[02:48:20] <coffman> ah :P
[02:48:25] <rawn027> its all installed and everything
[02:48:41] <rawn027> I was running the SXDE 05/07
[02:48:50] <rawn027> which had SunStudio 11 but ruby wouldnt install
[02:49:08] <rawn027> so i installed Sol 10 11/06 but now my mouse doesnt work
[02:49:13] <twincest> rawn027: smpatch is the command-line version of the GUI "Update Manager"
[02:49:32] 
[02:49:36] <rawn027> twincest: perfect
[02:49:43] <rawn027> coffman: how do i go about checking that
[02:49:51] <rawn027> I am very new to solaris, but not to sys admin
[02:49:57] <coffman> rawn027: bios setting :P
[02:50:10] <rawn027> done have the option
[02:50:16] <coffman> if it is on, disable it
[02:50:17] <rawn027> I have an Intel P965 Express chipset
[02:50:42] <rawn027> is there an equivilent to top on Solaris?
[02:50:46] <rawn027> I am coming from FreeBSD
[02:50:46] <twincest> prstat
[02:50:52] <rawn027> thx
[02:51:00] <twincest> (there is a 'top' for solaris, but prstat is better)
[02:51:03] <coffman> and its better than top :P
[02:51:35] <coffman> rawn027: try to disable usb legacy, had that issue ones
[02:51:45] <rawn027> i will check that out
[02:55:40] <rawn027> no dice
[02:56:40] <twincest> rawn027: what kind of mouse do you have?
[02:56:59] <rawn027> logitech mx revolution
[02:57:01] <rawn027> its wireless
[02:57:04] <twincest> USB?
[02:59:16] <rawn027> yeah
[02:59:28] <twincest> thats weird
[02:59:33] <twincest> try running kdmconfig again?
[02:59:45] <twincest> did you use Xorg or Xsun?
[02:59:51] <rawn027> Xorg
[02:59:59] <rawn027> X86 intel core 2 duo
[03:00:49] <pfn> hmm, is there any documentation on the solaris boot process?  starting from grub?
[03:01:00] * pfn is trying to understand the use of the 'module' directive in grub
[03:01:13] <pfn> and how it leads to the rootfs being mounted and init started
[03:01:52] <twincest> pfn: grub loads as kernel "multiboot" (a multiboot-format wrapper that starts "unix") or "unix" (the kernel itself - in newer SX).  the "module" is the boot archive which contains files needed to mount the root filesystem, like driver modules, bootenv.rc, etc.
[03:02:31] <pfn> twincest, newer sx just loads 'unix' directly
[03:02:37] <twincest> that's what i just said
[03:02:58] <pfn> right, and that's not much in the way of documentation, as I've figured that out
[03:03:13] <pfn> the question is--what exactly is boot_archive, what is its format, what can it be, what can it contain, etc.
[03:03:27] <pfn> e.g. I've found bootenv.rc which seems to document the location of the rootfs, etc.
[03:03:36] <rawn027> so im in kdmconfig and nothing is working, I cant click anything
[03:04:18] <twincest> pfn: run /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive unpack <archive> <name> and it'll extract the archive into <name>/ - so you can see what's in it
[03:04:49] <pfn> twincest, heh, I've been doing lofiadm/mount
[03:04:52] <pfn> ...
[03:04:58] <rawn027> can i break into the console
[03:05:01] <rawn027> and kill the Xorg server?

[03:12:39] <rawn027> cani   kill the x session?
[03:12:44] <rawn027> how would i do that

[03:52:58] <twincest> network automagic

[03:54:39] <coffman> but hey, you know what? im switching back to windows for my laptop
[03:55:34] <coffman> shity but, cant get the problems resolved
[03:56:39] *** yippi has joined #opensolaris
[03:58:14] <FrostCS> speaking of nwam, is it always set to send a popup message when it disconnects, and not connect again till you click "ok" ?
[03:59:25] <FrostCS> I don't mind disconnecting once in a while due to one reason or another, but if I am not around, being disconnected for 6-8 hours can be an annoyance just because of an "okay" box

[04:08:32] <FrostCS> it's a tad bit annoying, especially if I am working on my network..
[04:09:44] <danv12> also is there a way for NWAM et al not to IP up an iface until it's manually requested?
[04:14:37] *** Gman_ has joined #opensolaris
[04:16:30] <FrostCS> also a good question danv12

[04:26:06] <twincest> setuid: you want to burn the DVD and give it out?
[04:26:28] <FrostCS> I think they'd all have to do a registration.. sucks, but not much you can do..
[04:26:44] <twincest> yeah, in theory you have to register and fill in the license form
[04:26:49] <twincest> of course that isn't enforced :)
[04:26:56] *** Gman has quit IRC
[04:26:59] <FrostCS> yea, but legal issues are still legal issues..
[04:27:21] *** Gman has joined #opensolaris
[04:27:31] <FrostCS> you could bring X number of copies, and have them each fill out a registration form, then go back and fill the info in for them.. but still a headache

[07:16:41] <Tempt> Nifty.
[07:16:47] <Plaidrab> Oooh
[07:17:00] <Plaidrab> How massive are the changes from 3.1 to 3.2
[07:17:05] <Tempt> Bring on the Cluster. Perhaps I should turn up for that course, I've never done a SunCluster course.
[07:17:07] <boyd> Not
[07:17:10] <boyd> (massive)
[07:17:11] <Tempt> Plaidrab: Completely new commandline?
[07:17:17] <Tempt> Plaidrab: Is that enough?
[07:17:32] <boyd> New command line syntax, but the underlying plumbing is largely the same
[07:17:40] <Tempt> Well, of course.
[07:17:52] <Tempt> Didn't they bolt on a new fancy version of SPM as well?
[07:17:55] <Plaidrab> My labs are still largely solid. Just need to reference some man pages. :)

[07:45:43] <twincest> with U160 SCSI, is there likely to be any difference between exporting two 6-disk luns to a host on different channels and striping there, vs exporting a single 12-disk lun?  (for database load)
[07:47:17] <Tempt> Two channels = potentially better throughput
[07:48:09] <twincest> that's what i'm thinking.. it is not using anywhere near the bandwidth, but stric was saying U160 has a slow command channel.
[07:48:18] <twincest> (which might be a problem for heavy random, small i/o?)
[07:50:39] <Tempt> "Slow command channel"
[07:50:52] <Tempt> You mean SCSI overhead running at slower speeds than data xfers?
[07:50:53] <Tempt> Sure.
[07:50:57] <Tempt> Doesn't really impact though.
[07:51:09] <Tempt> You will see better performance splitting over two channels if your backend storage can keep up.
[07:51:30] <Tempt> Ultra-160 is pretty damn fast though.
[07:51:57] <Tempt> You would expect to see sequential transfers stream over 150Mbyte/sec if there isn't a contention problem.
[07:52:17] <Tempt> Kicking it over two channels just buys you the chance to do over 300Mbyte/sec. (which is pretty fast)
[07:55:26] *** Plaidrab has quit IRC
[07:57:49] <twincest> yeah, the data transfer is not even close to being a problem.  (http://rafb.net/p/3sgJ2b65.html)

[10:14:04] <LeftWing> Tempt: Really?
[10:14:12] <LeftWing> How much did it cost before...
[10:14:20] <Tempt> LeftWing: Yup. They're canning all their charges.

[10:48:15] <seanmcg> Morning all
[10:49:26] <JWheeler> When compiling with g++, what is the correcty way to pass the desired runpath for the resultant binary? Some tools appear to be using the -Wl, format, while others simply use -R. Oddly, when using g++ -v, it would appear that internally g++ is converting -Wl, statements into -R /search/path. The g++ manpage makes no mention of -R, so I'm lost
[10:52:48] *** triplah_ has joined #opensolaris
[10:53:28] <Cyrille> I'd say just -R should be fine.
[10:53:47] <twincest> easiest way: set $LD_RUN_PATH
[10:54:10] <JWheeler> LD_RUN_PATH only works if the compiler isn't given a -R already, which in my case, it is

[14:03:10] <Stric> With raidz, if a disk is giving you bad data - ZFS will fix it for you..
[14:03:29] <Stric> with hw-raid5, if a disk gives you bad data - you will probably end up with crap at application level
[14:03:48] <Stric> raidz will probably give you fewer IOPS than hw-raid5
[14:04:23] <Stric> but will not have the raid5 write hole (if power is lost / stuff crashes during a write - that data might appear ok but is toast)

[15:12:44] <renihs> not funny
[15:12:45] <asyd> there is a very good localisation guide, and I recommand to create a sungloss account
[15:12:54] <renihs> sungloss?
[15:13:05] <asyd> google?
[15:13:44] <renihs> if i google solaris sungloss i get a bunch of japanise
[15:13:57] <renihs> dont speak/read that
[15:14:02] <asyd> sungloss is not specific to solaris.
[15:14:25] *** gobbler has joined #opensolaris
[15:15:08] <cmihai> Sungloss Marble and Stone Restoration or Sun Globalization Portal 2.0 - Sun Gloss - tough choice :-)
[15:16:27] <vmlemon> I think he wants the Marble and Stone Restoration ;)
[15:16:32] <Cyrille> I'll go for the marble and stone restauration.
[15:16:35] <Cyrille> Ohhh shiny.
[15:16:57] <Cyrille> restoration even
[15:17:40] <cmihai> I hate localization.
[15:17:49] <cmihai> English (C, POSIX) or die! :-)

[15:18:12] <cmihai> Reminds me of the time I was trying to admin an AIX and the fucker was in Japanese ;-]
[15:19:58] <renihs> hmm created an account, searched for solaris localisation ...turns up nothing
[15:20:12] <renihs> hmm
[15:20:41] <cmihai> renihs: http://developers.sun.com/global/technology/translation/sungloss-help.html
[15:21:10] <renihs> yes gives no results
[15:21:49] <renihs> also i already installed the entire CEU locales i just wonder how i can actually use them
[15:22:12] <Cyrille> by changing your session locale?
[15:22:17] <renihs> LC_ALL and LANG arent the things i need it seems, keyboard mappings dont work neither
[15:22:28] <renihs> Cyrille, i did that
[15:22:33] <cmihai> renihs: locales aren't the same thing as localization.
[15:22:38] <Cyrille> and it's not using localised labels?
[15:22:46] <renihs> Cyrille, exactly
[15:23:03] *** alobbs has joined #opensolaris
[15:23:08] *** mega has joined #opensolaris
[15:23:20] <renihs> also i would need some gui switcher applet since more than one person will be working on the same account :(
[15:23:21] <Cyrille> may I ask, just to be sure, how you changed the session locale?
[15:23:39] <renihs> those i changed with LC_ALL and LANG
[15:23:46] <renihs> i assume those affect the locales...
[15:23:58] <renihs> by grabbing one of locale -a
[15:23:58] <Cyrille> that's not what I meant then. I meant in the login screen picking a specific locale.
[15:24:28] <renihs> the java-desktop -> preferences -> keyboard thingie doesnt work
[15:24:38] <renihs> so i used the applet (right click on taskbar)
[15:24:51] <renihs> but that one complains on each startup that it will be removed soon
[15:25:10] <renihs> than i have german keyboard (paritially) but not in all applications
[15:25:29] <renihs> i am still missing the @ and the ? then
[15:25:35] 
[15:25:54] <renihs> but it works only in some applikations like openoffice and mozilla and stuff
[15:25:59] <renihs> but not in gedit or like

[15:31:08] <Pietro_S> renihs: at login dialog you can choose local also ...
[15:31:10] <Cyrille> renihs, so how about you try what I suggested just so that you can start from a session set the way it's supposed to?
[15:31:51] <renihs> Cyrille, ya but i need to be able to switch in session too
[15:32:00] *** sioraiocht has quit IRC
[15:32:01] <renihs> but didnt catch your drift first, will try if it works now
[15:32:22] *** sioraiocht has joined #opensolaris
[15:32:49] <Cyrille> problem is that most of the desktop, gnome session, nautilus, gnome panel, etc. are started when the session is launched, changing the locale after that is unlikely to affect them much.
[15:33:41] <renihs> hmmm but that should be possible though, at least on gnome on linux :( hmm
[15:33:54] <renihs> i doubt that he is going to like to have to loggoff/on again but bla
[15:34:15] <renihs> mkay it works now...except

[15:37:56] <Cyrille> no idea, maybe you should take it with the JDS folks and see what they think about the topic.
[15:38:51] <renihs> ya, i doubt its intended that way but dunno

[17:28:45] <edwardocallaghan> sorry vi
[17:29:31] <edwardocallaghan> is that what I should be doing ?
[17:29:38] <seanmcg> try not to edit driver_aliases by hand, cause possibly other files need updating like /etc/name_to_major.  the *_drv commands should do everything...
[17:30:15] <edwardocallaghan> update_drv -a -i '"pci10de,0269"' nfo
[17:30:27] <edwardocallaghan> so you recon that will fix it up?
[17:30:44] <seanmcg> odd, that rev of nvidia card should be supported by the bundled nge driver.
[17:31:12] <edwardocallaghan> i don't know if thats the right id
[17:31:18] <edwardocallaghan> i found that on a site
[17:31:40] <edwardocallaghan> I just followed the readme
[17:31:58] <seanmcg> is there a line already in the driver_alias saying: nge "pci10de,0269"' ?
[17:32:12] <edwardocallaghan> which is kind of hard to follow if you are stupid like me
[17:32:31] <edwardocallaghan> yea i think there is
[17:32:42] <edwardocallaghan> or somthing like that
[17:32:47] <seanmcg> ok, then you shouldn't need the nfo driver.
[17:33:08] <edwardocallaghan> that was after the driver install
[17:33:30] <edwardocallaghan> and i don't know if thats the id without another painful reboot
[17:33:31] *** stelki has left #opensolaris
[17:33:53] <seanmcg> scanpci should tell you the id of the nvidia card.
[17:36:00] <quasi> or if nge grabs it, then you can find it with grep nge /etc/path_to_inst
[17:36:57] <quasi> ehrm, maybe not
[17:37:05] <quasi> use scanpci -vv
[17:37:13] <edwardocallaghan> ok

[18:07:29] <gdamore> i can't seem to figure out how to configure it for 1680x1050 with nvidia-settings.  am i just being stupid?
[18:09:51] <vmlemon> Now, I get a screen full of "Nested trap, calling reboot()"

[18:11:20] <seanmcg> gdamore: don't think the 280 can support that resolution...
[18:13:32] <gdamore> hmm.. that sucks.
[18:13:39] <gdamore> maybe i need to put back in the 6600 then.
[18:13:42] <gdamore> :-(
[18:14:56] <Pietro_S> gdamore: try to hardcode that resolution in xorg.conf (that nvidia utility can make output of xorg.conf)
[18:14:57] *** pfa3rh has joined #opensolaris
[18:15:40] <gdamore> i tried hardcoding it, but it didn't work.
[18:15:57] <gdamore> annoying since IIRC the geforce 6600 Just Worked.
[18:16:10] <cmihai> gdamore: unless you want reliability, 6600 probably beats nvs 280 hands down in terms of performance ;-)
[18:16:33] <cmihai> Though it's not an epen15 factor :-)
[18:16:47] <gdamore> i was trying to get dual digital output (for later), which the 6600 lacks.  plus, i liked that the 280 ran cooler.
[18:16:54] <seanmcg> gdamore: what does /usr/X11/bin/xrandr tell you ?  it should give you a list of supported resolutions..
[18:16:55] <gdamore> i only run solaris, no games, no 3D... so
[18:17:06] <gdamore> it doesn't list 1680x1050.
[18:17:32] <cmihai> gdamore: do you need dual digital output?
[18:17:34] <gdamore> i kind of think that this resolution became popular *after* the quadro came about.
[18:17:35] <axisys> can i run flarcreate and say exclude zfs fs or do I need to use -x /zfs/partition ?
[18:17:40] <gdamore> i "prefer" digital output.
[18:17:43] <cmihai> gdamore: most monitors have VGA input along side DVI
[18:17:44] <aruiz> timsf, when did you write that shel wrapper?
[18:17:47] <aruiz> :-)
[18:17:51] <aruiz> shell*
[18:17:56] <gdamore> yes, i know that.  but analog sucks.  :-)
[18:18:03] <cmihai> Why?
[18:18:08] <cmihai> It's still digital inside lol :-)
[18:18:13] <gdamore> blacks are not as black, etc.
[18:18:22] <cmihai> Meh
[18:18:28] <cmihai> Maybe just on LCDs :p
[18:18:38] <gdamore> yes, but this is an LCD.
[18:19:00] <gdamore> generally, for a *digital* display, using a digital data path is superior.  For an analog CRT, it doesn't matter.
[18:19:27] <cmihai> Yeah. DVI is nice I guess.
[18:19:35] <timsf> aruiz just this afternoon
[18:19:44] <timsf> was a bit bored waiting for tests
[18:21:35] <aruiz> timsf, remind me that I owe you a beer next meeting :)
[18:21:59] <cmihai> Hell, my 6 year old RS/6000 comes with DVI only 3D framebuffers :-)
[18:22:06] <aruiz> timsf, probably, the first piece of Indiana code ;)
[18:22:17] <cmihai> Haven't seen VGA in years on modern hardware
[18:22:41] <aruiz> timsf, you should print it and put it on a frame, that's history!
[18:22:51] <timsf> I doubt it, but thanks, it's such a tiny script and probably very badly written
[18:22:54] <cmihai> That gives me an idea :-)
[18:22:59] <cmihai> OpenSolaris Power :-D
[18:23:12] <aruiz> timsf, can you explain me the tar cases problem?
[18:23:13] <timsf> just trying to give ppl a model of "JFDI"
[18:23:14] <cmihai> I should give that PowerPC port a spin.
[18:23:19] <timsf> rather than whinge forever...
[18:23:26] <aruiz> timsf, absolutely
[18:23:28] <aruiz> :)
[18:23:30] <timsf> Oh - I think I got syntax wrong there,
[18:23:34] <timsf>  (not used to linux)
[18:23:41] <timsf> I thought "g" did compression
[18:23:46] <aruiz> timsf, can you put that file in some kind of hg repo so I can review it?
[18:23:51] <timsf> it's "z" in Linux, right ?
[18:23:53] <aruiz> and maybe contribute it
[18:24:00] <timsf> Um,

[18:24:06] <timsf> no SCM yet
[18:24:09] <aruiz> timelyx, yes, zcvf compress gzip
[18:24:11] <aruiz> oops
[18:24:12] <timsf> just send me whatever changes you like
[18:24:14] <cmihai> vmlemon: Solaris on PowerPC
[18:24:22] <vmlemon> OK
[18:24:50] <aruiz> timsf, distributed scm are really useful for this kind of things ;)
[18:24:55] <aruiz> okay
[18:25:11] <timsf> yeah I know what you mean
[18:25:26] <cmihai> hg init -> you're set :P
[18:25:35] <timsf> To be honest, I doubt that script will actually get anywhere
[18:25:51] <timsf> I'm sure there's got to be a better way than a bloody shell wrapper
[18:25:58] <timsf> (seems a bit primative to me)
[18:25:59] <cmihai> hg add, hg commit, hg serve and you've got a web repo lol. Don't be lazy, get that thing running! :D
[18:26:05] <timsf> but we'll see what other ppl thing.
[18:26:20] <timsf> s/thing/think
[18:27:45] <aruiz> timsf, I'll figure out how the Ubuntu guys are doing it
[18:28:10] <aruiz> timsf, however, it would be a good start to show people that some code is floating around
[18:28:32] <aruiz> timsf, it's not the script itself, but showing the fact that people are starting to adressing issues
[18:28:51] <aruiz> timsf, I can setup the repo myself ;)

[20:55:12] <timsf> pfn, hm, zfs can't boot from readonly media at the moment - everything else should work though
[20:56:19] <richlowe> timsf: just because it wants the ZIL, or?
[20:56:32] <richlowe> (if you point the ZIL at r/w media with the new bits, is it happy or am I missing something?)
[20:56:57] <timsf> Never tried it tbh, seem to remember the zfs devs getting a bit nervous about the concept though

[20:57:10] <timsf> hang on, let's see if I can find a bugid
[20:57:36] <richlowe> Not that I can entirely think of a sound reason to have zfs on r/o media.
[20:57:52] <richlowe> add a second DVD drive, and make the install media a mirror to account for bad burns? ;)

[21:08:27] <leal> hello,
[21:08:32] <stevel> the permissions in mailman/lists/<newlist> match just fine with mailman/lists/<oldlist>
[21:09:03] <leal> i have a problem with the service svc:/system/cluster/scslm:default
[21:09:27] <leal> that service are not running and six dependency services are not running too.
[21:09:27] <cmihai> leal: svcs -xv, read the log
[21:09:31] <sysadm__> stevel, that is non-trivial
[21:09:38] <leal> the reason is Dependency svc:/system/pools is absent
[21:09:51] <sysadm__> stevel : and of course .. I'm not very helpful in this regard
[21:09:52] <richlowe> the guess after permissions would be config file format changes, or the like.
[21:09:53] <leal> that is a bug?
[21:09:54] <richlowe> but it'd still be a guess.
[21:10:08] <leal> cmihai: I did that.
[21:10:29] <leal> cmihai: and i did read the  http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-E2
[21:10:40] <stevel> richlowe: that's what i thought - but we double checked permissions, and i outputted the configuration files to text and reimported them in case there were file format changes - but no dice
[21:11:09] <leal> cmihai: it's a fresh install of solaris cluster 3.2 (without errors or warnings in installation)

[22:20:58] <tomww> with the zfs boot project, there have been added some attributes zfs. maybe this helps you to import one pool first, then look into your configfiles and do all the individual stuff for the system
[22:21:11] <sommerfeld> hmm.  looks like the change to mailman broke my mail filters (the X-BeenThere headers changed)

[22:30:16] <pfn> oh, it's (cd)
[22:30:55] <Murmuria> sommerfeld: is there anything like a IPSEC documentation for OSol?
[22:31:13] <sommerfeld> what are you looking for, specifically?
[22:31:18] <sommerfeld> there's a bunch of it
[22:31:34] * zed is giving a try to opensolaris, i'm looking for a way to upgrade to the latest kernel...
[22:31:51] *** SirFunk has quit IRC
[22:32:17] *** freakazoid0223 has joined #opensolaris
[22:32:21] <Murmuria> sommerfeld: racoon2 uses interfaces like IPSEC_POLICY_NONE, SADB_X_SATYPE_IPCOMP etc
[22:32:57] *** MikeTLive has joined #opensolaris
[22:32:58] <Murmuria> which I presume is glibc specific, and is different in OSol
[22:33:08] <sommerfeld> oh, and I owe you a response to the query you sent last week.
[22:33:13] *** nostoi has quit IRC
[22:33:35] <Murmuria> ya, well just this will do
[22:33:42] <Murmuria> I have come this far
[22:33:51] <sommerfeld> so it's not a glibc vs solaris libc thing.
[22:33:58] <Murmuria> oh
[22:33:58] <sommerfeld> it's a kernel interface question.
[22:34:04] <Murmuria> ya
[22:34:32] <sommerfeld> we don't have support for the IPCOMP protocol within solaris (hasn't been any perceivable demand for it)
[22:34:44] *** Samy has joined #opensolaris
[22:34:52] <sommerfeld> so you can just make ipcomp support conditional on an #ifdef SADB_X_SATYPE_IPCOMP
[22:34:59] <Samy> Greetings
[22:35:03] <sommerfeld> (if it's not defined, politely refuse it)
[22:35:04] <Murmuria> ok...
[22:35:07] *** tsoome has quit IRC
[22:35:21] <Murmuria> and for the IPSEC stuff?
[22:35:39] *** bondolo has quit IRC
[22:35:45] *** Samy has quit IRC
[22:35:47] <Murmuria> also, I will like you to answer the glibc vs. libc thing
[22:36:00] <Murmuria> I thought both might have same solution
[22:36:08] *** Samy has joined #opensolaris
[22:36:09] <sommerfeld> with respect to policy, there are two pieces to be aware of:  1) if you're asking the kernel what the policy is, we have a different extension (SADB_X_INVERSE_ACQUIRE)
[22:36:40] <SYS64738> what the right way to delete a zone ?
[22:36:45] <sommerfeld> 2) if you're changing policy, we do that via PF_POLICY, with message formats defined in <net/pfpolicy.h>
[22:37:11] <sommerfeld> and I'll reply to the libc version thing via email.  the short answer is that there's less to the libc version than meets the eye.
[22:38:08] <Murmuria> so is there a documentation, cause I have a whole bunch of interfaces I need to figure out
[22:38:30] <Murmuria> IPSEC_MODE_TRANSPORT
[22:38:34] <Murmuria> etc etc

[22:42:56] <axisys> how do I upgrade SUNWmysql?
[22:43:14] <axisys> is installs in /usr/sfw
[22:43:21] <axisys> and it is old
[22:44:04] *** Trident has joined #opensolaris
[22:45:01] <axisys> this is for x86
[22:45:06] <Triskelios> axisys: use the official MySQL packages from mysql.com
[22:45:07] <pfn> pkgrm and install a new package?
[22:45:09] <sommerfeld> will send additional details by email.
[22:45:16] <Murmuria> axisys: if you use pkg-get, there is an upgrade option
[22:45:37] <axisys> Murmuria: taht is for CSWmysql and wont work for SUNWmysql
[22:46:07] <Murmuria> 'oh, ok, sorry then
[22:46:11] <axisys> Triskelios: good idea.. but that wont upgrade the SUNWmysql ..;-(
[22:46:26] <Triskelios> axisys: SUNWmysql is usually out of date...
[22:46:29] <axisys> pfn: i dont want to all the data
[22:46:37] <axisys> Triskelios: it is.. :-(
[22:46:46] <axisys> pfn: loose all data
[22:47:10] <Triskelios> axisys: then mysqldump and restore it later
[22:49:07] <Triskelios> you can find the package definitions if you want to try building newer packages, but that's probably not worth the effort
[22:50:14] <axisys> Triskelios: i dont think i need to dump it.. since it probably will install it on its own path
[22:50:22] <axisys> so just have to point to data dir
[22:50:35] <Triskelios> axisys: the db formats change across versions
[22:51:26] <axisys> between 4.0.24 and 5.0.X ?
[22:51:43] *** sommerfeld has quit IRC
[22:53:20] <Triskelios> yeah, of course. that's even a major version upgrade
[22:53:21] <Murmuria> axisys: I have had bad experience using the data dir as is, across different versions.
[22:53:24] *** sommerfeld has joined #opensolaris
[22:53:24] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o sommerfeld
[22:54:06] <Murmuria> mysqldump is very clean and you can use a backup if the data is sensitive
[22:55:45] *** zed has left #opensolaris
[22:56:34] <axisys> Murmuria: will it backup innodb as well?
[22:58:05] <Triskelios> axisys: it will back up whatever db your mysqld is configured to use, it just dumps the whole thing as sql statements
[22:58:53] <Murmuria> axisys: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqldump.html   might help
[22:59:16] <axisys> also my database is on zfs which i snapshot every night
[22:59:40] *** jambock has quit IRC
[22:59:58] <asyd> I'm really wondering how zsh's snapshot can help for db backup
[23:00:07] <asyd> do you lock your db before snapshot ?
[23:00:36] <CIA-19> nadkarni: 6575177 'umountall -a' to skip tearing down lofs mounts for systems running in context of safemode patching
[23:00:52] <Murmuria> that wont help in upgrade anyway, we need SQL statements
[23:01:19] <pfn> asyd zsh snapshot is bad for db backups
[23:01:31] <pfn> asyd, unless you have a db with consistent disk state and proper transaction logging
[23:01:42] <asyd> well, that depend if you lock/flush your backends i guess
[23:01:43] <pfn> oracle, postgresql and db2 are ok
[23:01:45] <pfn> mysql are not
[23:01:49] <Murmuria> mysqldump converts all data in form of SQL statements, which can be used in very different SQL DBs, ideally
[23:02:11] <pfn> asyd you can snapshot oracle, pgsql and db2--you'll just have to do some log processing upon restore
[23:02:37] <sommerfeld> my normal definition of "database" includes the ability to survive an unexpected service interruption.
[23:02:43] <sommerfeld> so I guess mysql isn't a database :-)
[23:03:34] * pfn avoids mysql at all times
[23:03:43] <pfn> I was reduced to installing it for pokeroffice, though  :(
[23:03:44] * pfn sniffles
[23:04:06] <Murmuria> oh but mysql is a simple DB, its ment for lite projects
[23:04:15] *** perlmonk has quit IRC
[23:04:15] *** Trident has quit IRC
[23:04:19] <axisys> asyd: oops u r right .. i forgot the locking part
[23:04:20] * Murmuria uses mysql for web projects
[23:04:25] <pfn> I never use mysql
[23:04:25] <pfn> why?
[23:04:36] <pfn> if you want "lite" usage, use something embedded, sqlite, javadb, etc.
[23:05:32] <Murmuria> I understand how the php-mysql sends the 3-tier architecture concept for a six, but its so easy
[23:05:42] <pfn> php is also garbage...
[23:05:49] <Murmuria> its the quickest way to complete a website
[23:05:50] * pfn refuses to install anything related to php at all
[23:05:53] <pfn> not really...
[23:06:05] *** Yamazaki-kun has joined #opensolaris
[23:06:15] <asyd> btw, I really interest to know the zfs's behavior when you snapshot a fs while there are some opened fd in write mode
[23:07:00] <pfn> asyd presumably it takes whatever is written to disk
[23:07:01] <Triskelios> Murmuria: rails and django seem much more suited to rapid development
[23:07:12] <pfn> asyd including what's in cache but not yet written out?
[23:07:59] <tomww> asyd: zfs will give yout the state from the last fsync or file close i think
[23:08:15] <Murmuria> Triskelios: touche, but I have worked on mysql-php for sometime now, unfortunately :(
[23:08:25] <asyd> that's mean may be not consistent, while the fs is. afaik xfs_freeze (called when you take a snapshot) wait that all fd opened in w mode are closed
[23:08:42] <asyd> S/n m/n data m/
[23:08:53] <tomww> pfn: #define cache :-)  zfs caches, and it the app requests, it writes this state to the disk
[23:08:58] <pfn> asyd why should data be consistent
[23:09:09] <pfn> asyd the fs needs to be consistent, not app state
[23:09:12] <asyd> because you use a filesystem to store data ?  :)
[23:09:22] <pfn> the app should be able to recover itself
[23:09:33] <pfn> it's why rdbms have had transactional logs for the past decade or two
[23:09:45] *** Trident has joined #opensolaris
[23:09:54] <pfn> it isn't zfs' duty to handle application state
[23:10:02] <pfn> and it isn't "data corruption"
[23:10:12] <pfn> a snapshot is as it says, it's a view of what the data looked like at the given point in time
[23:10:39] <pfn> it makes sense if the data is not in a valid state for a fresh run of an application (e.g. snapshot says data was processed, app expects data is in "new" state or something)
