[00:00:02] <reflect__> ichigo: in austria?
[00:00:07] <ichigo> id love 16 degrees. thinking of it is chilling ;)
[00:00:13] <ichigo> reflect__: yes
[00:00:55] <reflect__> for the past 5 weeks, it's been cloudy, rainy and generally cold here
[00:00:58] <coffman> i could not get out the bed until noon cause of the weather
[00:01:04] <reflect__> I'm in the nordic region
[00:01:11] <coffman> the air was full of static
[00:02:14] <coffman> in the times before a thunderstorm my asthma comes back :(
[00:02:36] <bda> Just to confirm: A zfs snapshot is going to do a filesystem sync before snapping, yea?
[00:02:47] <bda> As opposed to only snapping what's actually committed to disk?

[00:08:18] <Pietro_S> when sources tell about missing symbol cause by missing -l option for compiler, can I see what libraries have this symbol, because probably I'm linked with bad library (which compile but gives bugs) ?
[00:11:03] <alanc> you know, it's really not fair for install QA to file package dependency bugs against my packages that they found with the script I wrote and gave to them...
[00:11:09] <stevel> cd to /usr/lib and do a 'nm -A * | grep symbol' ?
[00:11:29] <nrubsig> stevel: fgrep, please
[00:11:54] <stevel> depends whether you want to use a pattern or not
[00:12:01] <stevel> you may want to anchor it or something
[00:12:28] * nrubsig watches stevel throwing the nickpicking handgrenade back to him...
[00:12:38] <stevel> you started it :)
[00:12:42] <nrubsig> yeah
[00:12:52] <nrubsig> I am guilty

[00:14:37] <coffman> bda: look at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/zfs_last.pdf explains it better then i would ever can

[00:18:06] <alanc> you'ld prefer the technical/legal answer of "The copyright is owned by Sun Microsystems, Inc."
[00:18:07] <alanc> ?
[00:18:42] <alanc> wrote I think was mostly raf, no idea if anyone specific maintains them, most of the developer community cares about them
[00:18:45] <nrubsig> ugh
[00:19:21] <nrubsig> alanc: No, I want a person... a name which I can contact and torture to get some answers for some questions.
[00:19:44] <alanc> then I'd say "raf"
[00:19:49] *** rawn027 has joined #opensolaris

[00:20:38] <nrubsig> raf is Ralf Faulkler ? Or Robert ?

[00:21:44] <alanc> I know you've e-mailed him plenty before
[00:23:25] <nrubsig> alanc: yes... but my memory which stores "names" is more like the mercury-wave based memories from the IT baby age...

[00:52:01] <alanc> killing someone and dragging their corpse across state lines would get the FBI chasing me, and I'd rather not have to deal with them too

[00:52:28] <coffman> runelind: you might aswell run devfsadm -v if the disks dont show up
[00:52:36] <wesolows> Also, killing raf seems uncalled for
[00:52:48] <wesolows> You can thank him for working threads, for example.
[00:52:59] <runelind> they did, thanks

[00:57:22] <nrubsig> wesolows: it's like my imaginary feeding of people to our komodo dragons... sounds horrible... until people realise that ours are currently small puppies (~~40-50cm) which are barely a danger for their own life food.
[00:57:31] *** runelind has left #opensolaris
[00:59:09] <coffman> nrubsig: do you feed him living animals?
[00:59:12] <nrubsig> wesolows: few years ago (another set of young puppies) we tried to feed live rats the first time. Worked very well (erm... for the komodo dragon puppies, not so "well" for the rats) except for one puppy... the matching rat turned around, ruffeled-up it's fur and starting to attack the poor komodo dragon puppy
[00:59:19] *** palowoda has joined #opensolaris
[00:59:28] <nrubsig> coffman: not "him", "them".
[00:59:46] <wesolows> I'm sure you do; that's normal for reptiles and amphibians
[01:00:26] <nrubsig> coffman: and yes, we have to. They can't be fed on non-living food after a certain age.
[01:01:05] <coffman> nrubsig: a classmate of mine has big komodo over 1m or so and he feeds him vegan
[01:01:21] <nrubsig> erm
[01:01:28] <wesolows> coffman: I assume you meant "he feeds him vegans"
[01:01:32] <nrubsig> coffman: he has a komodo dragon ? seriously ?
[01:01:36] <coffman> yes, that was i thought
[01:01:40] <coffman> nrubsig: yes
[01:01:44] <nrubsig> coffman: where did he get the license from ?
[01:02:06] <coffman> dunno
[01:02:13] * nrubsig grumbles
[01:02:32] <nrubsig> coffman: is he s zookeeper or something like that ?

[01:05:45] <nrubsig> but may be this is not a komodo dragon and just another lizard

[01:07:11] <nrubsig> I know that some people feed them whole ananas fruits to drag around and bite into pieces... but that's more a toy and not food for them
[01:07:43] <coffman> he said it could hit trough wood sticks with his tail
[01:08:09] <nrubsig> mhhhh...
[01:08:34] <nrubsig> Does it live inside the house ?

[01:15:32] <coffman> maybe im wrong...
[01:16:52] <nrubsig> coffman: well, some pieces fit (like using the tail to kick people off their feet (and then attacking them from the side)) and others don't.
[01:17:14] <zooko> movement: poking at feature_tests.h, it appears that it is the _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED #define that makes features_tests.h think that Python is not XPG6.
[01:17:34] <zooko> I plan to tweak Python's configure system to not define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED if the target platform is solaris.
[01:17:41] <zooko> Or some sufficiently modern solaris, or something.
[01:17:49] <zooko> Right now, I need to start grilling some food on the back porch...

[01:28:44] <wesolows> yes, our beloved leader Ian Murdock Debianed my brain last night.

[02:24:18] <coffman> palowoda: its out in contribute on mozilla.com
[02:24:57] <palowoda> Well yeah I know that but for lazy opensolaris users what timeframe?
[02:25:38] <palowoda> By the way you should be able to get about 28Mbytes a sec write on your usb drive.
[02:25:47] <palowoda> USB 2.0 that is.
[02:26:19] *** koolniczka has left #opensolaris
[02:28:02] <coffman> i think 68 and 69 is feature freeze since 69 will be the next sxde
[02:28:29] <movement> zooko: in combination with _XOPEN_SOURCE (less than 500), it means SuSv1
[02:28:42] <movement> aka XPG 4.2
[02:28:50] <movement> as per standards(5):
[02:28:59] <movement>      SUS (XPG4v2)    The application  must  define  _XOPEN_SOURCE
[02:29:00] <movement>                      and    set    _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1.   If _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined with a  value,  the value must be less than 500.
[02:29:38] <zooko> Um...  it is a way for the application to inform the os/compiler/platform that the application is prepared to deal with a platform that is XPG 4.2-compliant?
[02:29:56] <movement> no, it's a way to ask for an XPG 4.2 environment.
[02:30:12] <zooko> Ok.
[02:30:17] <movement> in particular if you don't define __EXTENSIONS__ then you /only/ get XPG 4.2
[02:30:29] <zooko> Hm.
[02:30:32] <movement> (Python will always want to define __EXTENSIONS__, but only that, I think)
[02:31:25] <zooko> You think that for Python on Solaris 10, it should define __EXTENSIONS__ and *not* define _XOPEN_SOURCE=600 and _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 and POSIX_C_WHATSIT=2001whatsit?
[02:33:28] <movement> that's exactly what we ship.
[02:33:58] <zooko> I saw that, but it came with a comment saying something like "workaround"...
[02:34:08] <zooko> So I wanted to know more about the meaning of these flags.
[02:34:35] <zooko> What effect would that have for compiling Python on older Solarises?
[02:34:39] <movement> it's a workaround because we hack the changes in with perl, not because it's a wrong change
[02:34:43] <movement> should have none
[02:34:51] <movement> (well, except helping)
[02:35:14] <zooko> I see.
[02:35:17] <movement> defining __EXTENSIONS__ means you would get any 'new' symbols in SUS etc.
[02:35:30] <movement> it's all explained at length in the manpage :)
[02:35:38] <zooko> Thanks.
[02:36:09] <movement> bedtime now... later.

[03:00:47] <wesolows> yes, fish is good for you; it contains lots of nutrients like mercury and cadmium
[03:00:58] <CSFrost> you tend to get spoiled from hawaii and japan
[03:01:18] <CSFrost> packed on 6kg since I left work :-)
[03:01:19] <palowoda> I get mine fresh right from the coast.
[03:01:20] <wesolows> true, the fish is best in Japan.  But you can get very good stuff in San Francisco too.
[03:01:45] <CSFrost> well, you know I am not in San Francisco :-)
[03:02:08] <palowoda> Just pulled in 30lbs north of Bodega Bay.
[03:02:37] <CSFrost> my most recent purchase of lounge equipment has a 700lb limit, so I can approach Buddahness
[03:03:40] <CSFrost> palowoda? you gained 30lbs, or was that just the fish?
[03:04:17] <palowoda> CSFRost:  I aquired 30lbs of Rock fish by surf fishing on the coast.
[03:05:01] <CSFrost> ahh
[03:05:12] <palowoda> Lost a couple of pounds getting there too.
[03:05:22] <CSFrost> pounds of fish, or weight?
[03:05:46] <wesolows> man, I can never lose weight fishing.  All the beer...
[03:05:51] <palowoda> weight.  It's a pain hiking out to some of these places.
[03:06:00] <CSFrost> I am currently eating lasagna straight from the pan...
[03:06:15] <CSFrost> this way the dog licks the dish, and we both end up fat and happy
[03:06:31] <CSFrost> I haven't been fishing in 12 years..
[03:06:32] <wesolows> and less to wash
[03:06:44] <CSFrost> yea, that's the main thing
[03:07:44] <CSFrost> the pizza guys already are on a first name basis with me, and I just started stopping in there within the past 2 weeks
[03:08:00] <CSFrost> I am getting to know the butcher too...
[03:08:09] <CSFrost> being jobless you seem to eat a lot.
[03:08:20] <palowoda> Too much sugar in pizza these days.
[03:08:41] <CSFrost> well, it's no dishes..
[03:08:58] <CSFrost> been grilling a lot more lately too
[03:09:07] <CSFrost> hotdogs are no dish food also
[03:09:19] <palowoda> Grilling is the best.  Oh no hotdogs.
[03:09:31] <CSFrost> pick up a 50 pack of dogs.. and it's good for 2 sittings
[03:10:06] <CSFrost> and to think.. I used to be a big thai, and japanese food fan...
[03:10:14] <CSFrost> no wonder americans get so big :-P
[03:11:18] <CSFrost> back in a bit, gonna get some icecream
[03:11:47] <palowoda> I grill a slab of Filet Migon and drizzle it with reduced cabernet wine sause.

[03:21:11] <sbahra> Isn't it strange that with explicit strong lgrp affinity that the behavior is more chaotic?
[03:21:22] <nrubsig> wesolows: ksh93 is single-threaded... for now.
[03:21:59] <nrubsig> wesolows: and Thanks! :-)
[03:22:02] *** bondolo has joined #opensolaris
[03:22:26] <sbahra> However, the general ticks do reflect upon the latency groups. It's just that additional chaos which I don't like.

[03:58:11] <sbahra> It isn't chaotic.
[03:58:17] <sbahra> I guess I'm retarded.

[04:04:31] <e^ipi> it'll be fixed soon, but my school still runs solaris9 & I'd wager that the bug's still in there
[04:05:04] *** palowoda has quit IRC
[04:07:26] <sbahra> Not really fixable.

[04:16:45] <lplatypus> trying to install b68 onto a new Dell D630 laptop... I've pxe booted to the b68 installer, but it bombed out because it doesn't have a driver for the integrated NIC.  How do I get "more" to work, as in "prtconf -v | more"?  it's currently behaving the same as "head -n24"
[04:17:49] <lplatypus> I tried setting TERM=sun and LINES=25 in the shell but that didn't help

[07:14:54] <Teknomancer> dunno i think Sun likes to discourage use of gcc and use its own compiler
[07:15:03] <Teknomancer> so maybe they put all the 'discouraged' stuff in sfw?
[07:15:11] <Teknomancer> not sure, ...

[08:03:24] <moazamraja> since I think it'll be education for many people and what have you
[08:03:32] <moazamraja> it's A because B comes after A. A is first.

[08:40:24] <sahafeez> hum what i am doing is grep -l bla *
[08:40:45] <sahafeez> i need the filename
[08:46:49] <sahafeez> why are all the lcd 1680x1050 when 1080p is 1920 x 1080. ah...the world is a strange places
[08:48:02] <moazamraja> cuz u dont have large enough LCD
[08:48:47] <moazamraja> my LCD does 1920x1200
[08:49:21] <moazamraja> and that's my small screen!!
[08:49:27] <moazamraja> yeaaah bwwwwoy
[08:52:20] <moazamraja> ok, i expected some blowback there
[08:52:21] <moazamraja> nothing
[08:52:26] <moazamraja> no fun.
[08:53:56] <Tempt> meh
[08:54:01] <Tempt> already got the 1920x1200 lcd
[08:54:05] <Tempt> Now I want more.
[08:54:21] <Tempt> I was looking at one of those 30" lcds the other day
[08:54:23] <Tempt> mmmm..
[08:55:11] <moazamraja> thats my regular LCD :P
[08:55:16] <Tempt> hmmm
[08:55:19] <moazamraja> but now i want 2 or 3 (like Al Gore)
[08:55:27] <Tempt> Ha.
[08:55:35] <moazamraja> once i saw that photo, i knew my lifes mission
[08:55:48] <Tempt> URL?
[08:56:21] <moazamraja> http://img.timeinc.net/time/photoessays/2007/gore_life/20.jpg
[08:56:34] <moazamraja> look at that. THAT is what is needed.
[08:57:52] <moazamraja> that's the only thing holding me back from being a genius with the combined powers of Bill Joy + Stephen Hawkins + Chief Wiggum + Stephen Wolfram
[09:00:24] <Tempt> hmmm
[09:00:26] <EchoBinary> lots of paper?
[09:00:32] <Tempt> time to order new LCDs.
[09:00:40] <Tempt> I already have a paper jungle like that.
[09:00:56] <WickySolaris> good morning!!
[09:01:04] * EchoBinary has a 24" LCD a 19" LCD and a touchscreen tablet
[09:01:11] * EchoBinary still hasnt taken over the world
[09:01:12] <moazamraja> Tempt: do u have crazy high taxes in AU on Apple stuff?
[09:01:19] <Tempt> Er?
[09:01:24] <moazamraja> oh
[09:01:26] <Tempt> Taxes on Apple stuff?
[09:01:32] <moazamraja> you're not in AU
[09:01:37] <Tempt> We have no vendor-specific taxes.
[09:01:40] <moazamraja> i was confusing u with Tpenta
[09:01:45] <moazamraja> oh, you ARE in AU?
[09:01:46] <Tempt> I am in .au
[09:01:47] <WickySolaris> here we have/they wanna make an extra tax on top of mp3 carriers
[09:02:15] <Tempt> Nope. no mp3 tax, no dat tax, no blank cd tax.
[09:02:25] <Tempt> And no Apple tax other than Apple's own tax.
[09:02:40] <Tempt> Apple prices their hardware about 20% higher in Australia compared to the US.
[09:02:49] <WickySolaris> prolly cause everybody should spread the Pougees to their friends, and taxes would prevent that
[09:03:28] <Tempt> I wasn't very impressed with the 30" LCD I saw in the Apple store. The backlight seemed very uneven.
[09:03:53] <WickySolaris> I always get headaches when I go to the apple store
[09:03:56] <WickySolaris> bright light bright light
[09:04:02] <moazamraja> 30" LCD = 1,799.00 USD
[09:04:13] <moazamraja> Tempt: better to fly to US and get it
[09:04:26] <Tempt> 30" LCD in Australia = $AU3799
[09:04:35] <moazamraja> crazy
[09:04:36] <Tempt> (from Apple)
[09:04:48] <Tempt> Apple believes people should pay more to love them.
[09:05:09] <moazamraja> why 20% igher in au tho
[09:05:14] <Tempt> And the Apple fanboy brigade continues to pay up hand over fist, so good luck to them. If I was running Apple, I'd put the prices up even higher.
[09:05:24] <moazamraja> i paid 900 for mine, used
[09:05:58] <Tempt> apple could double their prices and suckers will still keep buying the crap.
[09:06:03] <moazamraja> another 50-60 for the card to drive it, some nvidia 7600 thing
[09:06:11] <moazamraja> wow, bitter much?
[09:06:53] <moazamraja> anyways, past midnight
[09:06:54] <Tempt> Apple can go DIAF.
[09:06:59] <moazamraja> sleep must be attained
[09:07:06] <Tempt> If I want to run MacOS I'll warez it and run it on something else.
[09:07:06] <moazamraja> gotta work the factory floor 2morrow

[14:15:48] <jmcp> kindasorta
[14:15:53] <jmcp> at the moment, the situation is dismal
[14:16:14] <jmcp> there are GPL drivers for bt848-based cards, but I think that's it

[14:16:32] <cmihai> :-)
[14:16:44] <jmcp> cmihai: doesn't seem to work well with >1 card in your system
[14:16:49] <cmihai> I was wondering if any of you got Video input to work...
[14:16:54] <jmcp> nope
[14:16:58] <cmihai> jmcp: what do you mean >1 card?
[14:17:00] <cmihai> PCI
[14:17:07] <jmcp> more than one card installed in your system
[14:17:11] <oxygene> and doesn't seem to support dma, video overlay or anything like that
[14:17:17] <jmcp> I was going to delve further into it, but got a contract instead
[14:17:22] <jmcp> yeah, pretty basic
[14:17:23] <cmihai> Anyway, the idea is to get video input so I can play on my PS2 :-)
[14:17:28] <jmcp> we *really* need something better
[14:17:33] <cmihai> Yeah

[15:00:16] <kaiwai> ah, ok, its strange that they have a B70 up there before B70 has closed :S
[15:00:43] <kaiwai> they must have someone like me in charge of building :P

[15:20:32] <CSFrost> the way to be
[15:20:37] <kaiwai> even if I submitted a bug, GNOME is never rebuilt, so the it would never appear in a SXCE anyway

[16:25:21] <bda> Also, Cheney in charge in name and not just in fact. That fills my heart with joy.
[16:28:21] <vmlemon> They really mean that they want to use surveillance on everyone
[16:28:45] <vmlemon> Which in some places they're doing a stellar job of
[16:28:59] <bda> Also, the fact that they're basically talking, in-depth, about the President's asshole.

[16:39:22] <libkeiser> sickness: transitive property doesn't apply to diplomacy ;)
[16:39:24] <tomww> bash: ./setup_install_server: cannot execute binary file
[16:39:29] <Doc> then again, that might be because i never made it past the cities...
[16:39:43] <sickness> libkeiser: oh, interesting... :)
[16:39:46] <kaiwai> hmm
[16:39:50] <Doc> what does "file setup_install_server" return ?
[16:39:59] <kaiwai> well, the president is an asshole but you guys vote him in twice
[16:40:05] <tomww> it is a shellscript to setup an jumpstart-server
[16:40:09] <sickness> Doc: I'd like to see the locations where they filmed LOTR :P
[16:40:20] <Doc> tomww: ok.. lets try this again
[16:40:25] <Doc> type     file setup_install_server
[16:40:41] <Doc> what does that command return when you run it?
[16:40:48] <tomww> usually a shellscript, but this disk image seems to be broken although md5 sum is correct and others (xen iso image) report the same
[16:41:35] <CSFrost> sickness, it was really a green room, most of the actors said they didn't want to go to any third world countries to film.
[16:41:59] <Doc> sickness: yah.. there are tours you can do that take you around many of those places
[16:42:07] <sickness> CSFrost: lol, but the documentary on the dvds says otherwise...
[16:42:12] <sickness> Doc: oh
[16:42:18] <Doc> NZ is actually a really nice place (I spent some time travelling there a few years ago)
[16:42:32] <CSFrost> sickness, they didn't want to let me onto the difficulties between the two countries.
[16:42:38] <Doc> tomww: are you going to tell me what 'file setup_install_server' returns, or not?
[16:42:51] <sickness> CSFrost: which 2 countries?
[16:43:27] <CSFrost> sickness, I think they are talking about the constant threats between nz and the us, and the war efforts
[16:43:59] <Doc> ohh.. i thought you were talking about the Bledisloe cup clash tonight between australia and NZ?
[16:44:12] <sickness> ...

[16:44:46] <BadKarma> anyone, what host does smpatch connect in order to dload patches? is this sunsolve?

[16:46:58] <CSFrost> so nz and au are at war too?
[16:47:14] <EchoBinary> if ive used blastwave to install emacs, wheres it get put?
[16:47:19] <Doc> only over the ref's decision for what he claimed was a high tackle
[16:47:20] <EchoBinary> i cant find it
[16:47:29] <Doc> /opt/csw
[16:47:33] <EchoBinary> thanks :)
[16:47:42] <CSFrost> it's probably in the middle of a clusterfsck of other stuff
[16:47:43] <Atomdrache> /opt/csw/bin, specifically.  Probably.
[16:47:48] <CSFrost> which makes it more difficult
[16:47:51] <Atomdrache> cd to that and ls | grep for it.
[16:48:02] <Doc> /opt/csw/bin/emacs, more specifically.
[16:48:10] <Atomdrache> That should be the full path, yes.

[16:48:40] <EchoBinary> lol
[16:49:09] <Atomdrache> That extra crap is annoying.  (I should take more care installing gAIM.  That spectacularly buggered GNOME until I removed some of gAIM's installation files.)
[16:50:11] <Atomdrache> Problem:  It installed basically an extra GNOME.

[17:18:26] <cmihai> It's the crappy USB printers I hate. Always a pain to setup.
[17:18:37] <jamesd__> ours seem pretty good only  1 printer issue in the last 3 weeks.
[17:18:49] <coffman> nice
[17:19:05] <cmihai> jamesd__: it's usually some genius trying to stuff a cartboard on the wrong end.
[17:19:08] <jamesd__> at least on the unix side.. i'm not on the windows or desktop  team
[17:19:27] <coffman> i always like it when some one comes with a new printer and is proud that it has a network interface
[17:19:49] <coffman> then i ask him why the hell he did not spend 100 bucks more for post script
[17:19:54] <cmihai> Nah, all printers should be networked ;-). (and run an unprotected telnet daemon)
[17:19:58] <coffman> stupid idiots
[17:20:11] <cmihai> Oh, Postscript / PCL6 is a must.
[17:20:26] <Stric> working PJL support is pretty nice too..
[17:20:59] <Stric> instead of non-working support which I've been battling with lately.. like sending a regular print job and the printer display turns black and it's dead.
[17:21:11] <cmihai> Xerox?
[17:21:16] *** sartek has joined #opensolaris
[17:21:20] <Stric> just because I said "here comes a print job called xyz and now I'm done"
[17:21:21] <cmihai> Xerox fucks up PJL with PCL
[17:21:23] <Stric> konica minolta
[17:21:26] <cmihai> Oh
[17:21:55] <Stric> talked to a KM technician which said it was the correct thing to do (total breakdown) if I sent some unknown command..
[17:22:01] <cmihai> ugh
[17:22:04] <Stric> and he had worked on Xerox before, they do the same thing
[17:22:25] <Stric> the funny thing is that every command I sent is fully supported according to their internal specs that I got from them
[17:22:38] <Stric> it's just default lprng+ifhp with job control.. nothing spectacular
[17:22:43] <cmihai> Well.. PCL isn't very fault tolerant... compared to PS
[17:22:48] <Stric> this is PS only
[17:23:18] <cmihai> Oh, PS should be more tolerant in terms of errors.. it's usually PCL errors in drivers or hardware that mess things up.
[17:23:26] <cmihai> PCL 6 mostly..
[17:23:48] <cmihai> Though it figures, it's designed for the Windows GDI ;-)
[17:27:57] *** Gman has quit IRC
[17:29:04] <cmihai> Anyway, how's ext2 Read/Write support now? There was a ext2fs 3rd party app, but not sure it was safe.
[17:29:11] <cmihai> There's some stuff in Belenix now, is that any good?
[17:29:44] <cmihai> Got a bunch of 500gig USB drives I use for backups.. figure ext2 would be the most portable
[17:30:44] <trygvis> fat is by far the most portable FS
[17:31:20] <cmihai> 4gb file limit, problems on Solaris and BSD
[17:31:41] <cmihai> + the whole file naming scheme thing
[17:31:59] <trygvis> hm, true
[17:32:48] <cmihai> Went for Veritas first, but realized it's not all that portable either.
[17:33:24] <trygvis> I think I'll get a NAS with NFS for backups soon
[17:33:40] <trygvis> get one with 4x 500GB drives, should be enough for a while
[17:33:52] <cmihai> This is backup FOR the NAS :P
[17:34:04] <trygvis> oh, hehe
[17:34:08] <trygvis> get another one! :)
[17:34:40] <cmihai> gee
[17:34:51] <tomww> so you should have zfs on the NAS and ZFS on the backup, to do incemental backups with zsend/receive ...
[17:35:12] <cmihai> Wouldn't that just double my costs? :-)
[17:35:36] <cmihai> And defeat the whole purpose of offline backups?. Oh well, I wish I could afford tape hehe
[17:36:22] <coffman> tape without a robo sucks
[17:36:24] *** P3L|C4N0 has joined #opensolaris
[17:36:52] <cmihai> Well, with a tape changer, duh ;-)
[17:36:56] <sickness> (rsync -acr --inplace is sometimes even better than zfs send/receive...)
[17:37:16] <cmihai> But that would cost about 10 times my current sollution for a nice 8 tape changer with 500GB tapes
[17:37:40] <trygvis> what kind of tape is that?
[17:38:13] <cmihai> T1000

[17:40:00] <cmihai> huh? I don't have one.
[17:40:08] <cmihai> I said it would be NICE to have ;-)
[17:40:29] <sickness> yeah, for the pr0n =)
[17:40:34] <trygvis> ah

[17:50:46] <tomww> unusual fdisk partitions on the usb device?
[17:50:47] <cmihai> I power on the disk
[17:50:48] <cmihai> rmformat works
[17:50:52] <cmihai> I power it off, it doesn't.
[17:50:57] <cmihai> tomww: nope, just a Linux ext2.
[17:52:23] <cmihai> Basically, when I power the disk on, format, rmformat and prtpart freeze.
[17:52:36] <cmihai> Power it down, work normal.
[17:54:09] *** sartek has quit IRC
[17:54:50] <tomww> if you switch off the automatic volmgmt, does it freeze too?
[17:54:57] <cmihai> You mean hal?
[17:54:58] <cmihai> Yeah.
[17:55:02] <cmihai> I stoped it.
[17:55:03] <tomww> maybe the device is open, and other tools are waiting...
[17:55:36] <tomww> svc:/system/filesystem/rmvolmgr:default
[17:56:48] <cmihai> Nope, stopped that and they still freeze.
[17:57:49] <tomww> I use a compacsflash card with a ext2 and a fat on it (psion 5mx with linux bootable).
[17:58:32] <cmihai> http://paste.lisp.org/display/44890 - here's a truss of all 3 programs and a dmesg.
[17:58:35] <tomww> i have to wait a very long time to have that mounted, other cards without the linux partiton are mounted instantly
[17:59:13] <cmihai> As you can see, getdents64(3, 0xFEAE4000, 8192)                 = 3408 is the stopping point for both.
[18:00:54] <cmihai> tomww: been waiting 5 minutes now... how long should I wait? :-)
[18:04:03] <tomww>  /usr/bin/prtpart is from the ext filesystem package?
[18:04:09] <cmihai> Yes.
[18:04:18] <tomww> another thing to look at is: cfgadm -avl
[18:04:29] <tomww> this schold show your disc device as connected+configured
[18:04:48] <tomww> *should
[18:05:06] <cmihai> lol
[18:05:07] <cmihai> That freezes too
[18:05:35] <tomww> so, it is time for a reboot to see if this is repeatable .-)
[18:05:54] <cmihai> Right...
[18:05:55] *** cmihai has quit IRC
[18:06:16] <tomww> if you pull the usb disk and reconnect it in a short timeframe, this might have an influence..

[18:18:11] *** cmihai has joined #OpenSolaris
[18:18:17] <cmihai> WOW, that was fucked up.
[18:18:21] <cmihai> Ok, here's the deal:
[18:18:33] <cmihai> Solaris won't start with those USB disks pluged in.
[18:18:46] <cmihai> Right after the kernel boots (bla 64bit) it freezes if the disk is on.
[18:19:03] <cmihai> as soon as I power it off from the button, Solaris boots, but I'm missing my network interface!
[18:19:07] <cmihai> dladm won't show it.
[18:19:21] <cmihai> I reboot without the USB disk, everything is back to normal. WTF?!
[18:21:00] <cmihai> Also, as soon as I powered off the disk I got 3: "Device is gone"
[18:25:39] *** trs81 has quit IRC
[18:28:45] <tomww> does cfgadm -avl show the disk if everything else is normal?
[18:29:06] <tomww> your probably should de-register the device before removing it(=poweroff, pull cable)
[18:29:26] <tomww> cfgadm -c disconnect nameshownwitchcfgadm_-avl
[18:30:43] <tomww> if the device is still open, there should be a complain from cfgadm
[18:31:25] <cmihai> They all freeze.
[18:31:39] <cmihai> cfgadm won't show anything, it just hangs.
[18:32:31] <tomww> if your system is clean, after a reboot. you plug in the disk. if you issue the cfgadm -c disconnect  then, does this still freeze?
[18:32:43] <cmihai> I can't issue a cfgadm anything
[18:32:50] <cmihai> cfgadm, rmformat and format all FREEZE
[18:33:27] <tomww> hmm. so the only work, if you rebooted and never activated the external disk, right?
[18:33:50] <cmihai> Yep.
[18:33:55] <cmihai> Actually
[18:33:58] <cmihai> When I power it of
[18:34:02] <cmihai> it instantly works.
[18:34:05] <cmihai> Or remove the usb cable
[18:34:16] <cmihai> cfgadm shows 8 unconfigured OK USB ports, all empty.
[18:36:01] <cmihai> As soon as it's powered on and detected (about 3-4 seconds after it's plugged in) they all freeze.
[18:36:40] <cmihai> Can't even ^c them
[18:37:07] <cmihai> Won't even die on pkill or pkill -9
[18:37:32] <cmihai> Nothing in dmesg.
[18:37:38] <tomww> hmm. you want to try, removing the ext-/nfts-filesystem-stuff and see if this effect goes away?
[18:37:47] <cmihai> Eh, sure.
[18:37:54] <cmihai> Got one empty.
[18:39:19] <cmihai> Well, the bad news is.. it still freezes.

[18:41:55] <cmihai> Oh God.
[18:42:06] <cmihai> I've just tried another USB external disk enclosure.
[18:42:08] <cmihai> It works.
[18:42:09] <tomww> sorry, my idea was to remove the softwarepackages for ntfs/ext
[18:42:22] <cmihai> tomww: already removed them, it did nothing.
[18:42:29] <tomww> ah ok.
[18:42:34] <cmihai> The "good" news is I've tried another enclosure, a Nexstar 3
[18:42:41] <cmihai> USB 2.0, and that works perfectly.
[18:43:14] <tomww> if you dont need the contents of the disks, you could try a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk/cthenameofthedisk_p0 bs=8225280 count=10
[18:43:41] <cmihai> Would /pci@0,0/pci1019,1b53@2,2/storage@8/disk@0,0 work?
[18:43:51] <tomww> this will erase the fdisk+stuff. recreate it with a linux box or another tool
[18:44:20] <cmihai> Erm..
[18:44:21] <tomww> I'm not shour if this relly starts with sector zero of the disk.
[18:44:34] <cmihai> That sort of defeates the purpose of recovering my backup :-)
[18:45:24] <cmihai> Anyway, before I bought these I asked in here about Solaris supoport, soneone said he had some or seen some on Solaris or something... you here mate? :-)
[18:45:37] <tomww> ah oky, you already have data in the disks?
[18:45:41] <tomww> then do not :-)
[18:45:42] <cmihai> Pretty much :-)
[18:45:46] <cmihai> Wrote it on Linux.
[18:46:20] <cmihai> I could dd a backup and put it back.. but I'd rather not mess.
[18:46:37] <tomww> hmm. how does the partitiontable of the disk looks like, if you do a sfdsik or fdisk on the disk ?
[18:47:12] <cmihai> Just one big Linux primary, formatted ext2.
[18:47:18] <tomww> for instance: sfdisk -uS -lx
[18:48:03] <cmihai> sfdisk?
[18:48:07] <tomww> you have no other box around, to be bootet with e.g. knoppix and plug the disk in there and copy over the net?
[18:48:08] <cmihai> What the hell's that :P
[18:48:23] <cmihai> Nah, no USB ports, that's the issue.
[18:48:28] <tomww> i loe sfdisk, because it enabled a more deep look into the partitons.
[18:48:34] <tomww> *love
[18:48:43] <cmihai> Got a RS/6000 with no USB, got a laptop with USB 1, got a laptop with no NIC.. :-\
[18:48:52] <cmihai> Oh, sfdisk is Linux?
[18:48:54] <cmihai> ok
[18:49:30] <tomww> sorry, i didn't mention that. the software world is so small :-)
[18:50:03] <cmihai> Sigh, guess I'll have to go back to Linux on this fileserver.
[18:50:30] <cmihai> Solaris didn't support the SATA before, so I got an upgrade :P
[18:51:36] <tomww> hey that is hard.
[18:52:13] <tomww> or you transfer your files via fat. split the big archiv into junks of 3.9GB for instance
[18:53:19] <tomww> e.g. tar cf - /sources | split archive.tar  (will give like archive.tar.aa .ab  .ac ...)

[19:54:17] <cmihai> That's nice
[19:54:31] <CSFrost> anyone else want to give it a try? http://usa.asus.com/products_compare.aspx

[20:00:29] <coffman> CSFrost: fire up wine
[20:01:26] <palowoda> I usually drink it.
[20:01:56] <CSFrost> okay, got a bottle of wine smoking away
[20:02:08] <CSFrost> still isn't working on any of those browsers..
[20:02:13] <CSFrost> I guess the flaming wine didn't help
[20:02:55] <coffman> hmm
[20:03:00] <axisys> how do I find what are the real disks (cXdYtZ) here http://rafb.net/p/MFKa1q11.html
[20:03:07] <coffman> they search a video game tester
[20:03:18] <coffman> i think i apply for that ;P
[20:08:33] <axisys> anyone would know how to map this output to actual disk http://rafb.net/p/MFKa1q11.html
[20:08:55] <cmihai> CSFrost: are those Acer Ferarri Clones?
[20:09:00] <cmihai> Asus Lamborghini?
[20:09:02] <cmihai> Oh come on!
[20:09:47] <CSFrost> shrug.. I dunno
[20:10:05] <CSFrost> I was just going to buy some more amd and intel server boards
[20:10:15] <CSFrost> but, I am looking elsewhere now
[20:10:31] <cmihai> tyan
[20:11:25] <CSFrost> I used to buy tyan boards.. I am thinking about it.. just researching what else is around
[20:11:37] *** mlh has joined #opensolaris
[20:11:56] <CSFrost> kind of dissapointed I had to switch away from asus, but that's how the cookie crumbles.
[20:12:10] <quasi> last tyans I had weren't impressive at all
[20:14:40] <palowoda> Why did you have to switch away from ASUS?
[20:15:01] <CSFrost> quasi.. that's a bit why I switched away from them
[20:15:24] <CSFrost> palowoda, because I can't research their products, they obviously don't need my money :-)
[20:16:09] <palowoda> Hmm, just wondered.  I know Ian Collins is using the ASUS Quad 74FX with opensolaris.  Seems to work fine.
[20:16:58] <CSFrost> I have an Asus board sitting here waiting for opty quads..
[20:17:16] <CSFrost> I bought it back when I could use opera and firefox to navigate the site :-P
[20:17:34] <CSFrost> I just won't buy any now.
[20:18:47] <cmihai> ;-)
[20:19:33] <palowoda> Yeah I hate it too when websites are built with IE dependencies.  Anyways Ian got the stuff from www.ewiz.com which shipped international.
[20:19:38] *** Plaidrab has joined #opensolaris
[20:19:59] <palowoda> I can't believe they shipped two day down to NZ.
[20:20:16] <cmihai> Cool
[20:20:40] <cmihai> I got a system from Austria, shipped the same day, arrived in 1 day :-).
[20:20:41] <CSFrost> heh, know what's funny? I could care less about the retailers, I'd just like to be able to navigate a site if I need support, or specs.
[20:20:58] <cmihai> CSFrost: ehem
[20:21:01] <cmihai> Taiwan mate
[20:21:11] <cmihai> American components, Russian components, all made in taiwan!
[20:21:19] <CSFrost> and...?
[20:21:28] <Auralis> armageddon :)
[20:21:32] <cmihai> Most of their sites are crap.
[20:21:40] <cmihai> Or in Chinese.
[20:21:41] <cmihai> Or both.
[20:21:45] <palowoda> both
[20:21:54] <CSFrost> so? I still should be able to get a bios update if I need...
[20:22:05] <cmihai> Heh, right.
[20:22:16] <CSFrost> why should I buy from someone who doesn't want to make customers happy?
[20:22:25] <cmihai> It's cheap? :-)
[20:22:25] <tomww> axisys: looked for didadm -L or soething. on clusters scdidadm -L
[20:22:27] <CSFrost> and incase you ask, I already sent my feedback emails to them..
[20:22:44] <cmihai> Eh

[20:22:52] <cmihai> :-)
[20:22:54] <cmihai> They can't read that :P
[20:23:38] <CSFrost> in taiwan?
[20:23:53] <CSFrost> that wouldn't be so likely :-P

[21:24:31] <Gman_> [apart from the fact that the script is wrong and is picking up 0 probes]
[21:24:53] <richlowe> well, I'm trying to see what you're seeing.
[21:24:59] <richlowe> fixing your damn script is counterproductive in such a situation, no?
[21:25:46] <Gman_> cmihai, interesting
[21:25:57] <cmihai> Gman_: yeah, I can give you root here, without ENTER key :P
[21:26:00] <richlowe> Gman_: it's because gtkx11 has the dumbest SONAME ever.
[21:26:12] <richlowe> Gman_: so it appears the naming you used didn't resolve happily.

[21:26:12] <Gman_> heh
[21:26:17] <richlowe> enter the full name to the real lib, and it works.
[21:26:28] <richlowe> (libgtk-x11-1.0.so.0.1000.12)
[21:26:35] <richlowe> whatever in the world possesed you to do such a thing? :)
[21:27:35] <Gman_> still matching 0 probes
[21:27:43] <wesolows> what's so terrible about just calling both the file and the SONAME libfoo.so.1?
[21:27:51] <richlowe> Gman_: wait a little while.
[21:28:13] <Gman_> uh, nothing
[21:28:23] <richlowe> from memory, and looking at it, it's going to match 0 first time through.
[21:28:28] <richlowe> that is, after all, why you gave it -Z ...
[21:29:05] <cmihai> Ah, it works :-)
[21:29:47] <Gman_> richlowe, ah, you have a different soname than me
[21:29:51] <richlowe> whether or not it not noticing the lib by the name you originally used is an issue, I have no idea.
[21:30:00] <richlowe> but giving it the filename, rather than the SONAME cleared it up here.
[21:30:08] <Gman_> i can still reproduce with correct soname
[21:30:24] <cmihai> richlowe: was right, /usr/lib/amd64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so=libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.12 s none SUNWgnome-base-libs
[21:30:39] <cmihai> With that it works fine.

[22:52:33] *** Plaidrab has joined #opensolaris
[22:53:18] <cmihai> e^ipi: you can get EV68 based 1U machines from old Cray clusters
[22:53:22] <cmihai> Those things still have a kick
[22:53:26] <cmihai> Though won't run OpenVMS
[22:53:29] * Plaidrab encountered what could be a solution to the prstat/top gtat/tar type issues. I forgot it was there. Anyone used the "alternative" system F7 and the like use?
[22:53:45] <e^ipi> cmihai, which kinna defeats the whole purpose of getting an alpha, doesn't it?
[22:53:47] <richlowe> yow, no!
[22:53:52] <richlowe> that just makes things worse.
[22:53:56] <richlowe> suddenly what you type and what you get differ.
[22:54:21] <richlowe> the variety of things masquerading as 'vi' on linux machines with alternatives-like things is a constant annoyance.
[22:54:38] <wesolows> yes
[22:54:42] <e^ipi> like elvis/vim/etc
[22:54:47] <e^ipi> ?
[22:54:52] <cmihai> e^ipi: well, I won't recommend you want I've got :-)
[22:54:53] <Plaidrab> Well, admittedly, it's better for tar/gtar issues than top vs prstat.
[22:54:56] <cmihai> 200kg :P
[22:55:04] <wesolows> if prstat and top were truly identical, why would you need both?  And if they're not, why would you want to get something other than what you types?
[22:55:08] <e^ipi> hmm... 200 kilos from romania...
[22:55:09] <e^ipi> yeah, no
[22:55:26] <cmihai> heh
[22:55:28] <Plaidrab> If they were identical, no. But it's debatable how big an if that is.
[22:55:31] <cmihai> I've got 2!
[22:55:31] <e^ipi> if you gave it to me, i'd appreciate te gesture, but have to politely decline
[22:55:37] <cmihai> hehe
[22:55:40] <wesolows> again, I think the right answer is to enhance prstat to do whatever it is that people like from top, then just carry on
[22:56:05] <Plaidrab> Well, that solves top. :)
[22:56:26] <wesolows> the rest of the "alternatives" things are best handled by individual users
[22:56:37] <cmihai> e^ipi: 2 of these http://research.microsoft.com/~gbell/digital/timeline/1994-1.htm connected to a this: http://research.microsoft.com/~gbell/digital/timeline/1993-6.htm
[22:56:38] <coffman> no, the right answer is to ignore such people
[22:56:57] <Plaidrab> It'd be nice to get some of the gtar features into a proper tar.
[22:56:57] <wesolows> if I want to get vim when I type vi (and I do) then it's my job to alias that in my shell
[22:57:10] <cmihai> e^ipi: well, you could always get an Itanium and run OpenVMS, HP-UX and Linux at the same time in hardware virtualization / nPars
[22:57:20] <Plaidrab> I get flummoxed by non-vi when vi pops up. Hee.
[22:57:21] <e^ipi> i'd love to get an itanium
[22:57:30] <cmihai> Though Itaniums are VERY expensive.
[22:57:33] <coffman> lol
[22:57:35] <coffman> no
[22:57:37] <cmihai> They run for about 2000 Euro on ebay
[22:57:38] <wesolows> Plaidrab: There are already bugs open for the -z/-j one, which I imagine is 99% of what anyone cares aobut
[22:57:39] <e^ipi> yeah, and the used market is completely dry
[22:57:44] <coffman> they sell for about 100 euro atm
[22:57:44] <cmihai> Indeed.
[22:57:45] <e^ipi> because nobody bought them in the first place
[22:57:48] <cmihai> coffman: they do?
[22:57:49] <cmihai> Itanium 2?
[22:57:52] <cmihai> Where?
[22:58:03] <Plaidrab> well, I'd like -Z too, just cause. But yeah
[22:58:05] <coffman> itanium 1 maybe
[22:58:07] <wesolows> Plaidrab: or should I say RFEs, since that's what they are.
[22:58:09] <e^ipi> you can pick up an old i2000 for a couple hundred dollars US
[22:58:11] <wesolows> compress?!
[22:58:24] <jamesd> cmihai, and they get more expensive when you relize that you paid $$$$ for this piece of shit, and your reseller will probably make you pay a restocking fee and return shipping to get it out of your site ;-)
[22:58:27] <wesolows> all right, I was listening to you and taking you seriously until you said that
[22:58:34] <cmihai> e^ipi: that's Itanium 1, that blows...
[22:58:51] <wesolows> but (a) gzip can read compress(1) archives, and (b) no one has created a compress(1) archive since probably 1985 at the latest.

[23:02:10] <e^ipi> i'm in canada
[23:02:17] <cmihai> e^ipi: lol
[23:02:24] <e^ipi> overseas shipping is not an option, it'll cost hundreds

[23:03:39] <cmihai> e^ipi: oh, not to mention there may be power issues.
[23:03:49] <cmihai> Do you do 220V in Canada?
[23:03:50] <cmihai> Or 110?
[23:04:21] <cmihai> I remember last time I got a 110V system and some dolt pluged it in hehe
[23:05:03] <e^ipi> we do 110 here
[23:05:40] <cmihai> Right. And you don't want to buy a 220V system ;-]
[23:05:58] <cmihai> Forget the fact the power connectors don't match.
[23:06:12] <e^ipi> meh, the converters are not terribly expensive
[23:06:24] <coffman> most systems are wide range anyways
[23:06:35] <wesolows> IEC14 and IEC20 inlets are the same no matter the voltage
[23:06:48] <wesolows> which is how computer equipment gets destroyed :-)
[23:07:03] <cmihai> wesolows: yeah. that's how this guy managed to plug it in
[23:07:06] <cmihai> Replaced the connector.
[23:07:07] <cmihai> BAM!

[23:12:54] <cmihai> Same USB hub my OTHER disks work.
[23:13:03] *** freakazoid0223 has quit IRC
[23:13:05] <wesolows> richlowe: But unplugging and replugging the keyboard itself usually makes everything fine again
[23:13:06] <coffman> richlowe: you fucked that disks with linux :P
[23:13:11] <cmihai> Solaris won't boot, rmformat / format  / cfgadm freeze
[23:13:16] <wesolows> an actual system hang happened only once I think
[23:13:24] <cmihai> Power down the disk - they instantly go back to life
[23:13:36] <wesolows> cmihai: How many CPU cores in the box?
[23:13:39] *** m0le has joined #opensolaris
[23:13:43] <cmihai> wesolows: erm... 1
[23:13:48] <cmihai> It's an AMD64 3200
[23:13:52] <sickness> little question, where do I find "System Administration Guide: IP Services" ?
[23:13:56] <wesolows> yeah, that explains the difference in behaviour that we see
[23:13:58] <wesolows> I have 4
[23:14:01] <cmihai> sickness: docs.sun.com
[23:14:06] <wesolows> so it hangs the keyboard and presumably one core
[23:14:13] <sickness> cmihai: is it updated for snv66? I don't think so...
[23:14:14] <wesolows> but that doesn't wedge the whole box
[23:14:48] <cmihai> wesolows: the other apps work, just format / rmformat and cfgadm...
[23:15:06] <cmihai> But Solaris still won't boot with the disk powered on, but you're right.. if I had DualCore and having multi-threaded boot, it would probably boot.
[23:15:14] <cmihai> As soon as I power it of, boot continues ;-(
[23:15:32] <cmihai> Problem is.. I have all my porn.. 2TB of it on those disks.
[23:15:35] <wesolows> won't boot sounds like devfsadm waiting on the device tree walk
[23:15:42] <cmihai> Yeah
[23:15:46] <wesolows> which is almost certainly the same problem as with format etc
[23:15:57] <cmihai> wesolows: http://paste.lisp.org/display/44890 here's a truss
[23:16:14] <richlowe> wesolows: I've had to unplug the keyboard, then storage from keyboard, then plug the keyboard back in.
[23:16:15] <coffman> hey, cmihai is doomed, could we talk about my problem? i see the disk :P
[23:16:23] <sickness> this really isn't clear!
[23:16:30] <sickness> http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/specs.html
[23:16:39] <cmihai> coffman: but I don't want to be doomened, can't you see people have given me hope?!
[23:16:46] <axisys> I see this message every few mins in my both cluster nodes
[23:16:50] <axisys> Jul 21 16:50:06 cricket fcsm: [ID 517869 kern.warning] WARNING: fcsm(2): login_ms_comp: Management server login failed: <Transport error>
[23:17:04] <axisys> can anyone recognize this?
[23:17:12] <richlowe> wesolows: and nothing is obviously wedged either, we see the devices vanish.
[23:17:16] <axisys> cricket is the name of the host
[23:17:19] <sickness> The NIC must support the latest version of GLD. These include bge, e1000g, xge, nge, and rge devices. For more information on GLDv3 interfaces, see "Solaris OS Interface Types" in System Administration Guide: IP Services. <- so, I should find the list of supported snv66 GLDv3 interfaces on a book about... Solaris10 administration?!?!?
[23:17:22] <richlowe> which possibly makes it more annoying to figure out why, rather than less.
[23:17:39] <wesolows> richlowe: Perhaps it's waiting on some cv that also gets signalled when a device unplug interrupt occurs.
[23:18:02] <axisys> ps -ef | grep fcsm does not show anything
[23:18:11] <richlowe> wesolows: from what I've seen, it's not waiting on anything, it sees a disconnect that didn't happen.
[23:18:16] <axisys> how do link a error message on syslog like that to a process?
[23:18:19] <wesolows> richlowe: That's odd.
[23:18:20] <cmihai> Well, this is confusing :-).
[23:18:25] <richlowe> wesolows: boyd has more details than I do, I think.
[23:18:33] <wesolows> Don't really understand why that would hang anything though.
[23:18:36] <richlowe> wesolows: he actually does it by mistake, I only did it to try and see what the hell boyd was talking about. :)
[23:18:50] <wesolows> *shrug* USB sucks.  Deal.
[23:18:59] <cmihai> getdents64(3, 0xFEAE4000, 8192)                 = 3408
[23:19:02] <cmihai> It freezes here
[23:19:03] <wesolows> If you want shit to work, use SAS.
[23:19:10] <cmihai> That should list directories or something right?
[23:19:21] <wesolows> You put your pr0n on USB disks, well, you get what you deserve.
[23:19:31] <cmihai> But I need my p0rn :-(
[23:19:34] <cmihai> It's all my data...A
[23:19:50] <cmihai> I made a clean install of Solaris since I just got an upgrade so the fileserver can see my SATA disks...
[23:19:58] <cmihai> Solaris didn't like my other controller ;-\

[23:28:05] <cmihai> What does rmformat say about size?
[23:28:56] <coffman> Size: 131,1 GB
[23:29:58] <cmihai> What does format say (partition)
[23:30:36] <coffman> that i should run fdisk, no label on it since i want to hand it over clean to zfs
[23:31:23] <cmihai> Well, give it a label and see what it does. You can always wipe it clean with dd.
[23:34:10] <coffman> no change
[23:36:40] <cmihai> Ah well.
[23:36:46] *** libkeise1 has joined #opensolaris
[23:36:51] <cmihai> Anyway, does anyone here have an Intel Santa Rosa based laptop?
[23:36:56] <cmihai> I'm wondering about Solaris support.
[23:37:26] <sickness> ok, that line, should really by substituted with this simple URL: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/faq/#ipinst_which_nic
[23:37:29] <sickness> :)
[23:37:33] <cmihai> Acer Aspire 5920G to be more exact.
[23:37:53] <e^ipi> acer makes some not bad cheap kit
[23:37:54] <sparvu> hi all
[23:37:55] <m0le> I have installed solaris on alot of Acer laptops
[23:38:33] <m0le> Worst case scenario I seen was lack of wireless support and no modem support but i mean who really uses a modem these days.
[23:39:14] <cmihai> This is a Santa Rosa T7300 - 2 Ghz / 4 MB SLC /800 Mhz FSB 2GB DDR2 667 max 4 GB, 160 GB HDD@5400 RPM Hitachi Nvidia Go 8600 GT @ 256 MB GDDR3
[23:39:54] <cmihai> The important part is the platform. Intel Santa Rosa, same as the new MacBook pros
[23:40:08] <palowoda> 5400rpm drives just don't do justice with solaris
[23:40:49] <cmihai> Eh, I can always swap it for a 7200 RPM 200GB
[23:40:58] <cmihai> And add 2 more gigs of RAM
[23:41:07] <palowoda> That's what I would do.
[23:41:21] <cmihai> That's what I plan if it works anyway.
[23:41:38] <cmihai> I'm mostly worried about the SATA controller... no disks, no solaris :P
[23:41:58] <palowoda> You have to find someone with a model close and ask them to fire up belenix livecd.
[23:42:09] <cmihai> Yeah
[23:42:21] <cmihai> And they won't ship unless I purchase, so I can't test.
[23:44:18] <palowoda> I have a friend who ordered one of these Sager NP9260-V's and I'll try the belenux on it as soon as he gets it. http://www.sagernotebook.com/pages/notebooks/product2.cfm?ProductType=9260&SubType=V
[23:44:40] <palowoda> err belenix
[23:44:52] <cmihai> cool
[23:45:00] <cmihai> Expensive though
[23:45:36] *** perlmonk has joined #opensolaris
[23:45:39] <palowoda> And that is the midrange.  You should see the price on the 20inch laptops.
[23:45:45] <cmihai> Ouch
[23:45:49] <cmihai> What's the deal anyway
[23:46:04] <cmihai> Don't people know they need to get the important stuff?
[23:46:09] <cmihai> Like 4GB of DDR2 667?
[23:46:17] <cmihai> And a CPU with 4MB cache?
[23:46:50] <cmihai> I've seen it man, 3000$ laptops with 2MB cache CPU's or DDR 533 on 2.13 Ghz Core 2 CPUs.
[23:46:51] <palowoda> DDR2 800 is going for 99.00 a two gig dimm now.   189.00 for 4gig
[23:47:13] <palowoda> sodimms might be more.
[23:47:16] <cmihai> Yeah
[23:47:19] <cmihai> But still.
[23:47:35] <palowoda> There is glut of memory on the market right now.
[23:47:56] <cmihai> Take the laptop with the beefy cache CPU (T7300 is fine, 2Ghz, 4MB cache), add 4GB of fast memory and a faster disk (200GB SATA 7200 RPM is a must) and you're set.
[23:48:02] <cmihai> The rest is garbage.
[23:48:20] <cmihai> Well, you want the card to be NVIDIA with dedicated memory :P
[23:48:45] <palowoda> Yeah but if you want to watch high def video the expense comes in on the lcd ugxa and graphics card.
[23:49:13] <cmihai> Eh
[23:49:21] <cmihai> The one I'm getting seems to be bleeding edge stuff anyway
[23:49:26] <cmihai> Direct X 10 card ffs.
[23:49:33] <cmihai> Should handle anything.
[23:49:49] *** loke__ has joined #opensolaris
[23:50:17] <palowoda> I have a nvidia 7800GTS in my laptop seems to handle the video ok.
[23:50:32] <cmihai> It's not like a laptop is supposed to do 159 fps in quake 4 or 11000 qpm in Oracle or whatever :-)
[23:51:30] <cmihai> Well, time for a reinstall.. I need access to my stuff ;-(.
