[15:36:51] <cmihai> Besides, beats using endless refactoring scripts in EMACS or whatever [15:36:58] <trochej> IDEs are nice, if you can model your UML and then generate stub code [15:37:11] <cmihai> Yep, code generation and reverse engineering. [15:37:28] <cmihai> Cyrille, yeah, but most people can use external / 3rd party / stand alone debuggers :-). [15:37:36] <Gekz> gdb [15:38:14] <alanbur> NetBeanz ;-) [15:38:50] <alanbur> The Tomcat debugger is awesome [15:39:05] <cmihai> And the Emacs NUTS have elisp plugins for everything from CVS/SVN/HG to debugging and code refactoring. So unless they're doing visual development (which is kind of rare in C and even Java), UML code generation and reverse engineering is the ONLY reason you'd want an IDE. [15:39:17] <cmihai> I'm more of a Oracle JDeveloper guy ;-) [15:39:22] <kaiwai> moonlight will be interesting - too bad Sun will never suck up its pride and bundle it with JDS [15:39:28] <cmihai> NetBeans is just heavy, bloated, slow and ugly :-) [15:39:34] <flyingparchment> cmihai: or maybe you don't like emacs..

[15:40:34] <Gekz> lol [15:40:42] <cmihai> Oh boy. Here we go again. [15:40:48] * PerterB sighs [15:40:55] <Gekz> Time is linear! [15:40:56] * cmihai locks alanbur's terminal with ed(1). [15:40:57] <alanbur> There's probably a machine in a dark room somewhere that is still running that EMACS session... [15:41:23] <cmihai> You really should keep a log of ed(1) sessions once you set it as the default editor on a public machine. It's so fun :-[ [15:41:46] * alanbur chuckles - editor wars are such pointless fun!

[15:42:47] <cmihai> Mono sucks :-) [15:42:58] <Cyrille> I'm sure emacs works fine for anyone with sixteen fingers. [15:43:15] <kaiwai> cmihai: no it doesn't, if it did suck, you'd think I'd be on here? :P [15:43:16] <trochej> kaiwai: Mono sucs, more even: .net sucks [15:43:31] <alanbur> EMACS - the editor of our tentacled overlords!

[15:44:12] <trochej> cmihai: True [15:44:35] <PerterB> almost certainly a pointless use of grep too [15:44:36] <trochej> cmihai: But when I got my skillz, I didn't know that and old habits die hard :) [15:44:37] <kaiwai> alanbur: I'm surprised if someone isn't running Emacs as an OS (given its size) :P [15:44:49] <Cyrille> well I've read once that EMACS is a fine OS which lacks a good editor. [15:44:57] <alanbur> ;-) [15:44:59] <cmihai> alanbur, yeah, ERC is nice. It's also by default in Emacs 22 :-).

[17:48:51] <flyingparchment> pauliukas: just use the bundled gcc and gmake [17:48:57] <cmihai> flyingparchment, well, true. Unless you use BSD ports :-) [17:49:12] <pauliukas> I meant... As in libraries and such. [17:49:21] <flyingparchment> whatever the stuff you're building requires [17:49:25] <cmihai> Nothing, just the depends listed in the software. [17:49:26] <pauliukas> I use CentOS for Linux and they have packages which install most of the required libs and stuff. [17:49:33] <cmihai> Read the documentation, it usually lists depends.

[17:50:01] <flyingparchment> btw, sun provides binaries for apache and php (and mysql), look for coolstack [17:50:01] <cmihai> Well, you can use blastwave.. [17:50:44] <pauliukas> Could you explain what these are? [17:50:48] <cmihai> Yeah, if you want Apache + PHP + MySQL, you should really use blastwave. Here, read this pauliukas http://unixsadm.blogspot.com/2007/08/installing-coolstack-on-solaris-and.html , it covers SMF integration too. [17:51:01] <flyingparchment> bleh, don't use blastwave, use coolstack [17:51:06] <cmihai> Read that article, it explains coolstack. For blastwave aka pkg-get, see www.blastwave.org [17:51:16] <flyingparchment> blastwave is not compatible with sparse zones [17:51:17] <cmihai> flyingparchment, Blastwave has other stuff. [17:51:26] <cmihai> For Apache, you're better off with Coolstack. [17:51:49] <flyingparchment> for mysql i use the mysql enterprise binaries, but i don't use apache or php, maybe if i did i'd look at coolstack instead [17:52:09] <cmihai> lighttpd?

[17:53:27] <cmihai> Take what you have. For coolstack the source and the package is the same. [17:53:32] <cmihai> And for Solaris there's patches.

[17:54:05] <cmihai> Doing the whole recompile / reinstall / rebreak everything dance is just plain stupid. [17:54:10] <pauliukas> So if you're patching... why not just update at the latest version. [17:54:21] *** hile_ has quit IRC [17:54:28] <flyingparchment> pauliukas: because the version you have works, and the new version is an unknown quantity [17:54:37] <flyingparchment> when something works, the best thing you can do is not change anything [17:54:44] <cmihai> Cuz the latest version isn't always stable.

[17:56:47] <flyingparchment> there are still lots of people using solaris 8, because it works for them [17:56:54] <cmihai> I think people have just been spoiled by distros like Gentoo or Fedora... [17:57:06] <cmihai> Shit, take Windows XP, it's like 7 years old... [17:57:08] <flyingparchment> (although it's close to EOSL, so they might have to upgrade soon ;) [17:57:11] <cmihai> Or Windows 2003. [17:57:23] <pauliukas> I'm not complaning about Solaris. I just said why I didn't like packages. [17:57:28] <tsoome> nah, in linux there are no patches - you need to upgrade [17:57:40] <pauliukas> cmihai: They're releasing updates often. And also new kernels from time to time, if I recall. [17:57:46] <tsoome> in solaris, you will get patch for broken sw [17:57:49] <cmihai> Or HP-UX 11i, or Solaris 8 and so on. Regular production systems, the software is usually a few years old. All you really get is drivers and security updates. [17:57:50] <flyingparchment> sun distributes 'patches' for linux, but they're just zip archives with rpms in ;) [17:58:30] <cmihai> pauliukas, so does Sun. Take Solaris 10, it's up to update 4 right now. [17:59:04] <cmihai> The Desktop stuff like Gnome does tend to be a bit old though. [17:59:08] *** MattMan is now known as MattAFC [17:59:28] *** blindfish has joined #opensolaris [17:59:54] <Cyrille> part of the reason for not updating the Gnome from Solaris 10 is precisely the changes in some interfaces it would trigger.

Add blastwave, coolstack and pkgsrc to the mix, and you won't be able to sort through the garbage. [18:02:11] <cmihai> Especially when you have 8 gcc versions, 12 Apaches and tons of leftover configs from upgrades :-] [18:02:40] <pauliukas> Okay, but tell me. [18:02:50] <pauliukas> Who decides when something gets updated in blastware/coolwhatever? [18:03:03] <cmihai> Who said blastwave was official? [18:03:06] <pauliukas> When will they update Apache to a newer version? [18:03:11] <pauliukas> iono [18:03:15] <pauliukas> I just assumed. [18:03:20] <cmihai> Blastwave is a community based 3rd party package system. [18:03:21] <pauliukas> Sounds like a name that Sun would come up with. [18:03:28] <flyingparchment> blastwave does 'stable' releases so often that never change [18:03:39] <Cyrille> it has a distinct lack of "Java" and "System" in it. [18:03:42] <flyingparchment> in the current stuff, it just gets upgraded when the maintainer feels like it (like debian unstable) [18:04:22] <cmihai> CoolStack is Sun's work, but it's not part of Solaris either. [18:04:59] *** MattAFC is now known as MattMan [18:05:00] <pauliukas> Is it free or something paid? [18:05:03] <flyingparchment> free [18:05:24] <cmihai> pauliukas, http://unixsadm.blogspot.com/2007/08/installing-coolstack-on-solaris-and.html - just read and follow the links. It's a free optimized AMP stack. [18:05:29] <pauliukas> But so, how do they chose the stuff? [18:05:39] <Cyrille> carefully ;-) [18:05:59] <cmihai> Read the README... it's pretty worked you know. [18:06:02] <pauliukas> I like that. But what's the update cycle? [18:06:07] <pauliukas> And how does the patching work? [18:06:31] *** theRealballchalk has quit IRC [18:06:50] *** theRealballchalk has joined #opensolaris [18:07:49] <cmihai> Just like in Linux, you update to a new version. Since it's not part of Solaris, it's not supported. [18:07:53] <cmihai> No support = no patches. [18:08:04] <cmihai> You update to a new version when it comes out. [18:10:47] <pauliukas> Why were people saying how great patching was just a few moments ago, then [18:11:44] <cmihai> Patches are only for _supported_ products. That's Solaris and other Sun _products_. And you need a support contract for most of them anyway (only security updates without it). [18:11:52] <flyingparchment> and drivers [18:11:57] *** KermitTheFragger has quit IRC [18:12:02] <cmihai> Yeah. [18:12:18] <flyingparchment> and all the things they depend on.. which meant that 3/05 users got the zfs patch without a contract ;) [18:13:08] <cmihai> Without one, all you can do is upgrade / liveupgrade between major updates (update to 08/07 for example) and apply security patches. [18:14:16] <cmihai> And yes, it's the same for similar products. HP-UX - contract based, they send you encrypted cds/dvds and you can download stuff from their site. Oracle has Metalink, Microsoft has "geniune advantage", etc. [18:15:41] <cmihai> Most of the open source software / OS don't have actual patches. You basically remove the old and install the new binary and try to keep the config... [18:15:52] <pauliukas> okay... [18:16:01] <flyingparchment> http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4150/ < i wish i could remove the CD-ROM and install 10 disks [18:16:04] <pauliukas> So then, packages don't work for me because they're usually not kept up to date. [18:16:31] * pauliukas hands flyingparchment some duct tape [18:16:34] <cmihai> flyingparchment, heh, yeah, who needs cdrom when you have remote LOM cd :-) [18:16:37] <pauliukas> LOTS of duct tape [18:16:50] <the-decider> who needs CDROM when you can has pxe! :) [18:17:23] <pauliukas> Who needs CD-ROM because it's a production server and you shouldn't be reinstalling the darn thing. [18:17:44] <cmihai> Who needs CD-ROM when you can boot from USB drives :D [18:17:55] <the-decider> but that means physically being near the server. [18:18:21] <cmihai> Yeah, but since we already covered LOM and PXE... [18:18:55] *** prg3 has quit IRC [18:19:07] *** prg3 has joined #opensolaris [18:19:13] <cmihai> Oy, I think you _can_ remove the cdrom [18:19:32] <flyingparchment> cmihai: really? in tech specs it says '8-channel SAS interface'.. i assumed that meant it only took 8 drives [18:19:41] <the-decider> but can you remove the cdrom from the cdrom once you've removed the cdrom? [18:20:14] <cmihai> flyingparchment, you can't add drives in it's place though :-). You can chose to buy one without the cdrom... [18:20:38] <cmihai> And trust me, that saves you a good 200$ [18:20:45] <cmihai> DVD+/-RW Drive [Add $ 195.00 each] [18:20:53] <pauliukas> Geez. [18:21:06] <pauliukas> My server vendor charges $30 for a DVD-R server drive. [18:21:18] <pauliukas> Speaking of which... Why is Sun's hardware so expensive? [18:21:31] <flyingparchment> it's not [18:21:43] <pauliukas> $4K starting price for a Dual Xeon... [18:21:43] <flyingparchment> the new amd64/xeon stuff is pretty competitively priced (comparable to dell/hp/etc) [18:21:51] <flyingparchment> ignore list price, get a quote [18:21:56] <pauliukas> ah... [18:21:56] <flyingparchment> no-one pays list price for sun :) [18:21:59] <pauliukas> Really? It's lower? [18:22:06] <pauliukas> Even for small guys? [18:22:49] <flyingparchment> we got a quote for 10 servers and something like 40% off list price [18:22:54] <sickness> Even for small penis guys? [18:23:02] <sickness> (sorry but couldn't help it >:) [18:23:23] <flyingparchment> i guess if you just want 1 server it might be a bit more [18:23:24] <pauliukas> Don't worry.

[21:20:00] <RElling> ZFS is especially sensitive to sync writes under NFS, you'll definitely want a slog device! [21:20:33] <palowoda> What ever happen to the ZIL issue with nfs on zfs? [21:20:52] <elektronkind> that's what slog is for [21:21:08] <elektronkind> to put the ZIL on a faster (local) device [21:21:39] <the-decider> how does that effect data consistency; e.g. if the local device goes tits-up? [21:22:21] <palowoda> But I don't think that would affect a iozone test with nfs on zfs. But than again is iozone a standard test used for comparison with nfs filesystems. [21:22:58] <HCoyote> I'd be curious to see what performance others were getting out of an x4500 in various configurations for NFS usage.

For 7,200 rpm that is 4.16ms [22:18:43] <kjetilho> not worst case -- on average [22:19:16] <RElling> average worst case :-) [22:19:55] *** sickness1 has joined #opensolaris [22:22:33] <RElling> I'd expect a normal distribution around 2.08ms [22:22:52] *** sickness has quit IRC [22:24:38] *** tinman2k has quit IRC [22:24:51] *** stevel has joined #opensolaris [22:26:41] *** tinman2k has joined #opensolaris [22:26:58] *** yarihm has joined #OpenSolaris [22:29:37] <kjetilho> hmm, "The zil behaves differently for different size of writes that happens. For small writes, the data is stored as a part of the log record. For writes greater than zfs_immediate_write_sz (64KB), the ZIL does not store a copy of the write, but rather syncs the write to disk and only a pointer to the sync-ed data is stored in the log record." [22:30:14] *** sickness_ has quit IRC [22:30:17] <kjetilho> I wonder how large writes iozone will do over NFS [22:30:52] *** sickness1 is now known as sickness [22:31:33] <sickness> uhm [22:32:42] *** wnorrix has joined #opensolaris [22:34:03] *** yippi_ has quit IRC [22:34:19] <HCoyote> kjetilho: you can define the recordsize as part of the iozone parameters. [22:35:19] <RElling> for NFS, isn't 32k the default? or is there a different definition of "block size"? [22:35:51] <HCoyote> RElling: 32k is what the OS will write [22:36:56] <RElling> you can check using iostat on the clients and compare to the server [22:37:21] <holcomb> nfs4 is 1M by default, and nfs3 will start out at 32K but go up if it can [22:37:32] *** JBeck has joined #opensolaris [22:37:32] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o JBeck [22:39:59] * HCoyote will need to test nfs4 at some point also.

[22:44:16] *** estibi_ has joined #opensolaris [22:45:34] *** jonkri has joined #opensolaris [22:46:29] <e^ipi> I would assume the opposite actually [22:46:44] <e^ipi> ZFS will lay out the files in an efficient manner if it's allowed to IIRC [22:47:01] <HCoyote> that's what I expected too. [22:47:36] <RElling> HCoyote: pedantically, there is a different resource as the bottleneck. kinda hard to look at all of the queues involved, especially since some of them are in the disks [22:47:39] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o stevel [22:49:43] <RElling> by default, ZFS will queue 35 iops to each vdev, which is one reason why using slog will improve interactive performance [22:55:26] <HCoyote> I saw the zfs_vdev_max_pending tunable, but wasn't quite sure what would be appropriate to set to. Roch's blog about this last year doesn't give me warm fuzzies about touching this param for NFS. [22:57:29] <RElling> I would only look at zfs_vdev_max_pending as a last resort, especially if NCQ is working (which it should be for X4500 -- iostat -x will show the actv entries > 1 [22:58:34] <RElling> BTW, when I say "iostat" I mean a useful output option, I usually use something like "iostat -xnz 1" [22:58:56] <HCoyote> cool, thanks. [22:59:05] <HCoyote> I was using -xC [22:59:15] <RElling> "-T d" is also useful [22:59:34] <e^ipi> you can put the ZIL on external devices? [22:59:46] <RElling> On X4500, "-n" is almost mandatory :-) [22:59:55] <RElling> ^-n^-z^ [23:00:08] *** Arnald has quit IRC [23:00:23] <e^ipi> how's it work if the ZIL becomes corrupt, say for example if you were to hypothetically put it on a CF card and the thing cratered because of too much activity ? [23:00:59] <RElling> ZIL is write-only except during zpool import [23:01:31] <RElling> if a ZIL write error occurs, ZFS will write them into the main pool, just like with no slog [23:01:44] <e^ipi> exactly, CF cards can only be written to so many times [23:02:04] <HCoyote> should I see actv > 1 whenever I see active writes occurring? all but two or three disks are staying at or below 0.5 [23:02:15] <kjetilho> e^ipi: CF isn't very fast anyway [23:02:26] *** estibi has quit IRC [23:02:37] <RElling> yeah, but as long as it has some spare room, the wear leveling should work well [23:03:10] <elektronkind> NAND flash is the norm now and last longer than NOR flash [23:03:24] <RElling> flash SSDs can have even more reliable data store, it just costs bits [23:03:32] *** Triskelios has joined #opensolaris [23:03:33] <kjetilho> since ZIL is write-only in ordinary operation, the 0ms access time isn't very useful. so you get a, what? 40 MB/s device?

[23:05:45] <holcomb> when slog becomes part of regular solaris - the thumpers should just come with those installed [23:06:02] <kjetilho> ah, the Sandisk Extreme Ducati Edition is 45 MB/s [23:06:14] <elektronkind> Ducati edition?

The answer is a function of the workload (how many sync writes), the txg commit interval (5 s), and the speed at which the txg is actually committed. I recall lobbying for a high water mark, but even that is difficult to turn into some reasonable action plan [23:10:44] <HCoyote> can the txg commit interval be increased? [23:11:03] <sommerfeld> yah, there isn't good visibility as to what the high water mark is [23:11:10] <RElling> for now, we're kicking around the thought of 10 seconds worth of sync writes [23:11:23] <holcomb> Irssi 0.8.11 (20070425) - http://irssi.org/ level [23:11:27] <holcomb> whoops [23:11:30] *** cypromis has quit IRC [23:11:30] <sommerfeld> RElling as in 2 * txg-commit-interval ?
