[00:14:46] *** ep__ has joined ##nexenta[00:21:53] *** taltamir has joined ##nexenta[00:24:31] *** olsner has joined ##nexenta[00:42:16] *** RoyK has joined ##nexenta[00:46:18] *** RoyK has left ##nexenta[01:14:47] <ep__> hello guys… a quick question to which googling didn't bring a clear answer…[01:15:45] <ep__> are Nexenta packages compiled with gcc or suncc by default? I believe gcc, but I couldn't find a clear answer and I thought I'd ask before installing and apt-srcing :)[01:36:36] <rootard> ep__: gcc[01:37:05] *** ChanServ sets mode: -o rootard[01:37:44] <rootard> if you want to recompile using suncc the Sun compiler suite is available in the repository (package: sunwspro)[01:39:27] *** proteusguy has quit IRC[01:41:21] <ep__> thanks.[01:41:44] <ep__> i'm still in the process of figuring out if i want to do most of my testing on indiana or nexenta[01:42:12] <ep__> and coming from a debian background / maintainership, the temptation to skip indiana and IPS is very strong[01:45:24] <rootard> I'm a long time fan of Debian as well. I couldn't stand solaris packaging/patches and came here to stay :)[01:45:47] <rootard> what kind of testing are you looking to do?[01:46:49] <ep__> well, for now i'm just getting rid of my old linux install on my home server and rebuilding it with opensolaris + zfs[01:47:08] <ep__> but i was doing a number of things with it… for instance, i had Asterisk running[01:47:30] *** alfism has quit IRC[01:47:30] <ep__> and it looks quite obvious to me that it would be way easier to go with nexenta rather than indiana for this kind of things[01:48:26] <ep__> on the other hand, i want to evaluate how feasible it would be to use opensolaris to build servers (filers, pbx's, or other stuff) to deploy at customer locations[01:49:04] <ep__> and i'm under the impression that currently nexenta is way easier to manage, but i don't know how many packages have been converted to build on the other opensolaris niceties, like SMF[01:49:51] <ep__> and i'm afraid that nexenta could lag behind in the future[01:50:47] <ep__> one thing i thought i could do right away, having installed indiana, was installing nexenta on a private BrandZ zone, but i haven't found up-to-date instructions and i think it can be done, but it will take me quite some time to figure it out, being a newbie[01:51:20] *** aveteam has joined ##nexenta[01:55:41] *** aveteam has quit IRC[01:56:33] *** aveteam has joined ##nexenta[01:56:44] *** aveteam has quit IRC[02:00:00] <rootard> hmm, I was under the impression BrandZ was for Linux-compat zones.[02:00:02] *** aveteam has joined ##nexenta[02:00:39] <rootard> Nexenta usually has releases of the core software at stabilization builds of ON[02:01:18] *** aveteam has joined ##nexenta[02:01:24] <rootard> There is an autobuilder that attempts to follow upstream versions of packages from a specific ubuntu release[02:02:08] *** aveteam has quit IRC[02:02:09] <rootard> many of the GNU packages do not use SMF but it is not difficult to patch them if it is valuable to you[02:02:36] *** proteusguy has joined ##nexenta[02:02:56] <ep__> rootard: there's a Linux personality for BrandZ, but it can be done SunOS-on-SunOS… here's the old example: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=5484&tstart=0[02:03:29] <ep__> i'll give Nexenta a deeper look on Virtualbox, anyway; that will be definitely easiest :)[02:03:44] <rootard> :)[02:05:03] <rootard> If you are bent on running Nexenta under regular OpenSolaris in that fashion I'm sure I could whip up some instructions to install[02:06:59] <ep__> i think i'll give it a spin myself too; exercise is good ;)[02:09:00] <rootard> indeed[02:11:58] <ep__> thank you so much for your advice![02:12:14] <ep__> bye![02:12:19] *** ep__ has quit IRC[02:26:41] *** JetForMe has quit IRC[03:05:31] *** proteusguy has quit IRC[03:37:43] *** proteusguy has joined ##nexenta[03:40:52] *** domiel has joined ##nexenta[03:42:18] *** domiel has joined ##nexenta[03:45:55] <domiel> Hi All, I am trying to install NCP 2.0 rc1 under Xen paravirtualised has anyone been able to get this to work without installing to a HVM domain first?[03:55:21] *** JetForMe has joined ##nexenta[04:03:11] <rootard> domiel: I think this may be a way to do it: http://www.nexenta.org/~tim/jdthomas/nexentacp2_rc1-xs5.zip[04:03:22] *** proteusguy has quit IRC[04:09:46] *** tsukasa` has joined ##nexenta[04:13:01] *** rootard is now known as rootard_away[04:19:57] *** proteusguy has joined ##nexenta[04:25:38] *** tsukasa has quit IRC[06:01:56] *** bobahPhD has joined ##nexenta[06:28:43] <domiel> I've downloaded the image rootard pasted earlier (he's away now) and I notice that there is actually two different template images on that site... does anyone know what the difference is?[06:34:20] <domiel> Ahhh... just done some digging I'm assuming one is an updated version of the other...[06:45:08] *** anilg has joined ##nexenta[06:46:33] <anilg> lo all[06:56:32] <domiel> ok. So I've grabbed the kernel and ramdisk out of [JT]'s template (I'm not running Xenserver) just the current CentOS with dom0 via the xm command[06:56:59] <domiel> and when I try and start up my Nexenta domU for installation I get a crash[06:57:08] <domiel> anyone here able to lend a hand?[08:32:00] *** SockPants has joined ##nexenta[08:32:02] <SockPants> hi[08:32:22] <SockPants> i just accidentally threw away about 100 gb of data from my zfs drive[08:32:29] <SockPants> is there an easy way to get it back?[08:33:33] <anilg> how did you "throw it away" ?[08:34:10] <anilg> destroyed the dataset?[08:34:16] <anilg> if yes, do you happen to have a snapshot..[08:36:02] <SockPants> no, i typed rm -rf FL * instead of rm -rf FL*[08:40:04] <SockPants> i should have made a snaaapshootttttt[08:41:27] *** master_of_master has quit IRC[08:45:08] *** master_of_master has joined ##nexenta[08:45:44] <anilg> SockPants: I dont think theres a undelete utility for ZFS[08:46:22] <SockPants> darn[08:46:39] <SockPants> they should have one, considering it's pretty unlikely the data gets overwritten[08:47:35] <anilg> I guess snapshots make these instances of losing data so uncommon that no one considered writing one[08:49:12] <SockPants> heheheheh great[08:49:13] <SockPants> oh well[08:49:16] <SockPants> it's not very valuable data[08:49:25] <SockPants> and too many files to manually recover[09:07:56] *** andy_js has joined ##nexenta[09:29:36] *** andy_js has quit IRC[09:32:18] *** andy_js has joined ##nexenta[09:58:13] *** andy_js has quit IRC[09:58:42] *** andy_js has joined ##nexenta[10:04:55] <SockPants> hi[10:05:21] <SockPants> if i have zpool tank and tank/backups, and i make a snapshot of tank, will that also make a snapshot of tank/backups?[10:15:18] *** SockPants has quit IRC[10:24:39] *** proteusguy has quit IRC[10:54:43] *** proteusguy has joined ##nexenta[10:59:14] *** andy_js has quit IRC[11:01:18] *** Bartman007 has quit IRC[11:01:18] *** nexybot has quit IRC[11:01:51] *** Bartman007 has joined ##nexenta[11:01:51] *** nexybot has joined ##nexenta[11:14:55] *** GhostInTheShell has quit IRC[11:14:59] *** GhostInTheShell has joined ##nexenta[11:15:54] *** andy_js has joined ##nexenta[11:28:59] *** fserve has joined ##nexenta[11:44:43] *** RoyK has joined ##nexenta[11:59:42] *** RoyK has left ##nexenta[12:55:27] *** proteusguy has quit IRC[12:56:28] *** fserve has quit IRC[13:07:04] *** andy_js_ has joined ##nexenta[13:22:03] *** proteusguy has joined ##nexenta[13:51:37] *** rootard_away is now known as rootard[14:18:15] *** taltamir has quit IRC[14:40:10] *** andy_js_ has quit IRC[15:04:41] * codestr0m wonders if ##nexenta should just forward to #osunix and solve it ;)[15:44:24] <domiel> rootard: I asked a question about Nexenta on PV Xen earlier today... you pointed me to a downloadable template for XS5[15:45:19] <domiel> I'm actually running Xen on top of a standard Linux install not XenServer 5, so I pulled the kernel and ramdisk image out of the download you gave and have tried doing an install with those + the Nexenta CD image but it bombs out as soon as the kernel boots...[15:45:31] <rootard> domiel: try adding -kdv to your kernel params. It should help to find the cause of the crash[15:46:06] <rootard> type :c when you get a prompt[15:47:06] <domiel> I assume you mean add it to the "extras" field in the xen.conf file (I'm using xm create .... to launch)[15:48:37] <rootard> that sounds right[15:49:12] <domiel> ok... I did that and it bombs right out, if I run xm dmesg afterwards I get an unhandled page fault[15:49:14] <domiel> :-)[15:49:28] <domiel> Oops... that was meant to be :-([15:50:45] <rootard> hmm... not sure where that would be coming from. Maybe Xen needs to be updated?[15:51:48] <domiel> I would have guessed so but I was running CentOS 5.3 as dom0 earlier when I discovered that it was missing stuff so I've switched to OpenSUSE 11.1 and I'm getting the same error...[15:51:57] <domiel> still you're probably right in any case[15:59:27] <domiel> I'll try and update the kernel + xen, but please let me ask if you've ever attempted (and succeeded ?) in doing this on something other than XenEnterprise?[16:00:04] <rootard> me personally... no. I've heard others say they have done it[16:00:48] <domiel> OK.... thanks, is this channel logged anywhere?[16:01:07] <rootard> helog.matzon.dk/?nexenta[16:01:16] <rootard> http://echelog.matzon.dk/?nexenta[16:01:42] <domiel> OK, if I get it working I'll probably drop a brief description on here so that others can find....[16:02:36] <rootard> That would be appreciated :)[16:03:40] <domiel> btw. Do you have any idea of how that template was created or are you just hosting it[16:04:44] <rootard> I am just mirroring it for speed/bandwidth considerations. I've given some pointers to people as they have come by in hopes of xen development...[16:05:46] <rootard> things are progressing as people will add a tidbit here and there[16:05:59] <domiel> as I'm sure you know, there are actually two templates archived there, I think one is just an older version, or are they different in some significant way?[16:06:24] <rootard> one is newer and it contains some customizations for xen[16:06:54] <rootard> I don't remember the details at this point :-/[16:07:12] <domiel> ok... I was just curious :-)[16:09:13] <rootard> I seem to recall the minimum xen version for OpenSolaris at 3.2.1[16:10:08] <domiel> The funny thing is I've been able to easily install 2008.11 with no problems at all, it's something peculiar to Nexenta[16:43:01] <anilg> ~learn log as http://echelog.matzon.dk/?nexenta[16:43:02] <nexybot> anilg: The operation succeeded.[16:43:05] <anilg> ~log[16:43:06] <nexybot> anilg: Error: You don't have the owner capability.
