[00:14:42] <ry_laptop> hmm, that's a window's admin huh?
[00:14:45] <eviljames> I think it's more fair to call them "people programmers rely on to do anything useful"

[00:16:04] <Topdeck> Hi all, I'm after some more information about how idmap works. I want to have no users on the OpenSolaris box but still be able to do something like "chown user@domain /path/to/file". Is that possible?

[00:16:23] <e^ipi> eviljames: "we're all winners?"
[00:16:33] *** NoFX_SBC has quit IRC
[00:17:17] <e^ipi> not saying sysadmins aren't useful ( or rather, necessary )
[00:17:27] <e^ipi> just that a developer doesn't technically depend on a sysadmin
[00:18:15] <scoffin> one developer does not, but 40 do :-)
[00:18:52] <e^ipi> fair enough
[00:19:01] <eviljames> Indeed, look at my statement: "programmerS" (!)
[00:19:02] <eviljames> heh
[00:19:21] <e^ipi> plural means any number greater than or equal to 2
[00:19:33] <e^ipi> 2 programmers can get away without a sysadmin just fine
[00:19:44] <eviljames> Nope. One of them is doubling as a sysadmin.
[00:19:52] <ry_laptop> heh
[00:19:56] <e^ipi> :P
[00:19:57] <ry_laptop> what have I started.
[00:20:00] <eviljames> Either: managing the git repo or the web server or some other detail other than programming..
[00:20:02] <oninoshik1> eviljames: atleast
[00:20:08] *** rmorse has joined #opensolaris
[00:20:22] <ry_laptop> well. a programmer that doesn't know how to sysadmin isn't worth much IMHO.
[00:20:30] <eviljames> ry_laptop: I disagree with you again!
[00:20:33] <ry_laptop> :)
[00:20:36] <ry_laptop> damnit!
[00:20:50] <eviljames> ry_laptop: There's a programmer in here who couldn't sysadmin for a shits worth. However, he has a master's in computing science and claims to write "bug-free" programs.
[00:20:59] <ry_laptop> ...
[00:21:01] <e^ipi> he's lying
[00:21:06] * ry_laptop gets a bridge to sell eviljames.
[00:21:06] <eviljames> ry_laptop: Considering his track record, I believe him so far. I have yet to find a bug in any program he's written.
[00:21:09] <eviljames> e^ipi: Of course he's lying
[00:21:24] <eviljames> but, the results do speak for themself.
[00:21:31] <jbk> alanc: do you by any chance have time for an X question? :)
[00:21:31] <e^ipi> or incompetant
[00:21:32] <eviljames> e^ipi: Maybe lying is the wrong word. Embellishing :D
[00:21:36] <ry_laptop> there are of course exceptions.
[00:21:48] <oninoshik1> ry_laptop: he/she/it is worth a programmer's salery.
[00:21:56] <ry_laptop> *nod* yeah, but that's an exception.
[00:22:05] <ry_laptop> some people are born with 2 sets of genitals.
[00:22:05] <alanc> jbk: sure
[00:22:09] <ry_laptop> you can't make rules based on that.
[00:22:41] <e^ipi> ry_laptop: gender and sex are two distinct concepts
[00:22:45] <jbk> do you happen to remember how to configure xrandr on s10 (presenter is running s10 at our local ug meeting) -- trying to get external display port working :)
[00:22:54] <ry_laptop> I'm just speaking of gender! :)
[00:23:07] <e^ipi> gender isn't what hangs between your legs
[00:23:09] <e^ipi> sex is
[00:23:15] <e^ipi> gender is a self-definition
[00:23:18] <ry_laptop> how you use it? :)
[00:23:31] <e^ipi> heh, yeah... that's an apt description as well
[00:23:33] <eviljames> Point of order: Sex isn't what hangs between your legs, genitals are.
[00:23:34] <jbk> i'll buy you a beer next time i'm in norcal :)
[00:23:45] <trichobezoar> jbk: this is the extent that I use xrandr - xrandr --output DVI-1 --right-of DVI-0
[00:24:06] <eviljames> trichobezoar: That's one of my start up scripts for X :D
[00:24:20] <ry_laptop> it would be awesome to get a macbook, a 30 inch cinema display, and an Iphone.

[00:25:59] <ry_laptop> "it just works"
[00:26:10] <ry_laptop> but in my fantasy, it plays all games too.
[00:26:15] <alanc> jbk: not sure what you mean - if you are using Xorg on S10, you should have randr support and just need to run xrandr on the command line or the GNOME display resolution tool
[00:26:19] <oninoshik1> (except when it doesn't)
[00:26:25] <e^ipi> it just works... until it doesn't... then you buy a new one

[00:29:56] <Dominic> then download it and try
[00:29:57] <Operator> i didnt test it yet
[00:30:04] <Operator> i dont have OpenSolaris yet
[00:30:13] <trichobezoar> Heh... It's like trying to spam ADA users... Not enough of a market
[00:30:23] <Dominic> heh
[00:30:28] <Operator> market ? lol
[00:30:30] <crichardso> does anyone use opensolaris with esx or vmware servcer in the sense of a san?
[00:30:40] <Operator> private server is a market place ?
[00:30:50] <LeftyBSD> crichardso: we did until recently
[00:30:57] <LeftyBSD> we had too many performance problems
[00:31:54] <crichardso> leftybsd what kind of performance issues? i am seeing it in both vmware server and esx
[00:32:14] <crichardso> i am seeing high iowaits
[00:32:21] <c00p> I don't thnk zfs like it ...
[00:32:25] <LeftyBSD> we were using iscsi with zfs volumes to export to vmware, and we had unacceptably low performance
[00:32:28] <crichardso> i have tried iscsi and nfs
[00:32:37] <trichobezoar> zfs volumes == fail
[00:32:54] <LeftyBSD> we discovered that it was mostly to do with the fact that shareiscsi is single threaded and broken
[00:32:54] <trichobezoar> until the 'disable zil per dataset' is here
[00:32:58] <c00p> lol - they work well on my x4500 here - they are not 100% production tho
[00:33:20] *** capaz has quit IRC
[00:33:21] <c00p> more for backups - used with time machines for some machines and some windows crap servers for our windows admn ...
[00:33:54] <crichardso> i was kinda thinking that might be the issue to
[00:33:56] <c00p> yeh I am only export 3 ISCSI targets ... so it doesen't scale it seems ...
[00:34:13] <LeftyBSD> the solution from Sun was "use comstar"
[00:34:19] <LeftyBSD> which wasn't ready yet
[00:34:23] <LeftyBSD> it may not even be ready now
[00:34:58] <trichobezoar> did you try with !zvol?
[00:35:07] <trichobezoar> as a test...
[00:35:13] <crichardso> but i never see high load and if i mount a nfs volume it seemed to copy and use full bw but when hosting vms or datasets it seems to act like 3m/s compared to 60
[00:35:32] <LeftyBSD> I don't think so, trichobezoar
[00:35:42] <crichardso> isnt that recomened against
[00:35:44] <trichobezoar> yes. if you disable the zil, it will fix that. but until you can disable it only on your zvol sets, it's not recommended
[00:35:57] <crichardso> ah
[00:36:15] <crichardso> i will try it since it is just a dev box with nothing on it yet
[00:36:26] *** Operator has left #opensolaris
[00:36:45] <crichardso> do u really think comstar would fix that anyways
[00:36:52] <LeftyBSD> the guy who was handling that particular machine was in a real rush to change to CentOS anyway
[00:37:04] *** dunc has quit IRC
[00:37:10] <LeftyBSD> why, I will never understand...
[00:37:20] <trichobezoar> have you had problems with centos as it was set up?

[00:41:08] <scoffin> is there some way to stop the updater from trying to create a new boot env each day, even when there is no "real" updates?
[00:41:31] <trichobezoar> stop clicking upgrade?
[00:42:19] <c00p> lol
[00:42:44] <c00p> is the disabiling of the zil on zvol's promised ?
[00:42:45] <oninoshik1> LeftyBSD: Im testing out COMSTAR's iscsi target, and having some issues... just sent an email to the list about it
[00:42:55] <trichobezoar> c00p: I think there was a bug report submitted for it
[00:43:04] <c00p> ok
[00:43:13] <trichobezoar> Worth checking out ;P
[00:43:21] <oninoshik1> OTOH: the COMSTAR's Fibre-Channel ran like to to[

[00:45:45] <trichobezoar> yes
[00:46:18] <oninoshik1> oh.. it seemed to. I dont think it's a valid test though, because it also removes the overhead of the TCP/IP stack
[00:48:08] <oninoshik1> I am really excited at the prospect of doingan apples-to-apples test for iSCSI. then see what i can really do with some of the caching that didn't seem to have much (read any) affect for iscsitgtd
[00:49:43] <crichardso> how hard is comstar to manage
[00:49:51] <crichardso> i briefly looked at it
[00:50:06] <crichardso> one of my admin counter parts is a tad on the lazy side
[00:50:12] <oninoshik1> based on my experence with the FC target. it's not hard, just different
[00:51:50] <oninoshik1> I think i like it a bit better, really. because i can change the backing store for any LUN just by changing the view. that way it doesnt change the IQN... additionally i can actually set the IQN withing my own domain-name-space, resulting in much less human error in typeing iqns
[00:52:02] <oninoshik1> (that was always our complaint)

[01:28:51] <nachox> no, you said you wanted to block all the users in the solaris, i pointed out that was not possiblw
[01:29:23] <_Lewellyn> nachox: well, technically it is... but erm... yeah... ;)
[01:29:50] <Topdeck> nachox: Ah I see what you mean
[01:30:22] <Topdeck> Is it possible to have (essentially) no users on the solaris box but still use idmap against AD?
[01:30:37] <nachox> yes
[01:30:56] <nachox> idmap will assign ephemerals uids to windows users
[01:31:02] <Topdeck> nachox: any write-ups from ppl who've done it?
[01:31:15] *** OpenBuntu has joined #opensolaris
[01:31:18] <piwi> hi, little bit offtopic: i'm planning to buy a x2200 with 2x amd 2376. sun try&buy lists it for ~1500eur. can anybody tell me why a 2356 (barcelona) is 3 times the price of a 2376 (shanghai)? amdcompare lists identical specs for them?!
[01:31:19] <_Lewellyn> and the ephemeral uids are documented :)
[01:31:50] <oninoshiko> _Lewellyn: i was thinking that there is no reason that you couldnt lock down all accounts... well except for the obvious lack of ability to do basic maintance
[01:32:15] <nachox> check that blog entry to know what idmap is all about
[01:32:26] <_Lewellyn> oninoshiko: you can delete all accounts on a machine. including the root role, iirc. but you end up with a noisy doorstop ;)
[01:32:39] <oninoshiko> _Lewellyn: exactly
[01:33:16] <nachox> _Lewellyn, once i removed shadow and password from a linux box, it did boot... mostly :P
[01:33:41] <_Lewellyn> nachox: you can still go single-user then. or could under kernel 2.0.x
[01:33:45] <Topdeck> nachox: hmmm, interesting

[01:33:54] <_Lewellyn> not that i've ever done it... on accident, even... ;)
[01:34:42] <oninoshiko> even when you can't do single user mode... init=/bin/bash always worked
[01:35:01] <oninoshiko> well useually
[01:35:08] <Topdeck> But I still don't think I'll be able to acheive my dream of having no users on the solaris box and being able to `chown user@domain /path/to/file`
[01:35:25] *** victori has quit IRC
[01:35:28] <nachox> _Lewellyn, i booted it normally and it complained a lot but worked. forget about logging in though

[01:36:07] <nachox> i dont think that can be done, no

[01:37:36] *** wdp_ has quit IRC
[01:38:45] <Topdeck> _Lewellyn: Heh, yeah. But what I'm after is for a windows user to own a share (not just a dir under another share) on the solaris box before they ever login, and do it completely from solaris
[01:41:36] <_Lewellyn> you can't have it owned by a group?
[01:44:11] <Topdeck> _Lewellyn: it's their home drive shared via SMB & NFS
[01:44:37] <_Lewellyn> :P
[01:44:48] <_Lewellyn> this is where i'd say to use nis... ;)
[01:47:17] <nachox> i think solaris' cifs server has share ACLs already, but i'm not sure whether what your asking for is possible or not

[03:30:52] <eviljames> I would contribute.
[03:31:23] <eviljames> But I don't know if there are any run by the community
[03:31:28] *** esok has left #opensolaris

[07:08:59] <codestr0m> e^ipi: you mentioned you'd possibly be interested to mentor a gsoc student.. did you have a specific area in mind?
[07:09:14] <e^ipi> nope
[07:09:40] <e^ipi> usually students submit ideas, all the mentors go through them and pick ones they want to mentor
[07:10:10] <codestr0m> e^ipi: we're doing it a bit backwards.. we're making ideas and trying to find students who are qualified and interested
[07:10:28] <e^ipi> seems like a bad idea to me TBH
[07:10:48] <codestr0m> it's working so far.. we have 6-10 mentors and 2-3 students interested
[07:10:50] <e^ipi> if the students can't even come up with ideas, what's the likelihood they'll be able to complete them
[07:10:53] <e^ipi> ?
[07:11:01] <e^ipi> or won't lose interest halfway through, etr
[07:11:03] <e^ipi> *etc
[07:11:20] <codestr0m> and the likelihood is based on their qualifications of course.. a couple are really good c coders

[07:23:31] <e^ipi> you have ZFS
[07:24:11] <ball> e^ipi: I've not tried that, so I'm not sure how it works.
[07:24:13] * _Lewellyn wonders when hardware-assisted zfs is coming out.
[07:24:20] <_Lewellyn> e^ipi: well.
[07:24:22] <_Lewellyn> erm.
[07:24:24] <telexicon> a hardware raid controller can assist zfs
[07:24:25] <_Lewellyn> ball: well.
[07:24:32] <ball> ...but this ML110 would be a sensible box for me to start tinkering on OpenSolaris
[07:24:36] <telexicon> some of the nice ones have like 256MB of battery backed cache
[07:25:03] <_Lewellyn> telexicon: i am aware of this. i mean controllers specifically designed to assist zfs, however.
[07:25:16] <telexicon> oh right
[07:25:22] <telexicon> assist how
[07:25:35] <telexicon> couldnt do checksums, then they wouldnt protect against hardware failure, driver mess ups
[07:25:36] <e^ipi> yes, assist how?
[07:26:05] <ball> It could periodically bring ZFS pizza, soda etc.
[07:26:11] <ball> ...just to make sure it's on top form.
[07:26:13] <_Lewellyn> well, only supporting JBOD, having a half gig or more of backed cache, a built in flash device...
[07:26:15] <telexicon> good idea
[07:27:24] <_Lewellyn> it probably wouldn't be terribly expensive to make such a controller. but people would probably pay almost as much as they would for raid
[07:27:40] <jzu_> is there different ISO image for SPARC and X86 OpenSolaris?
[07:28:14] <e^ipi> yes

[07:28:36] <_Lewellyn> next question: is sxce or osol recommended for sparc?
[07:28:54] <jzu_> e^ipi: heh so I downloaded WROOOONG ISO-image :-)
[07:28:59] <_Lewellyn> e^ipi: i've heard of putting stuff on a flash drive of some sort to speed it up.
[07:29:03] <e^ipi> thumb drives are crazy slow, you'd be better off not spinning off slog
[07:29:09] *** ken has quit IRC
[07:29:15] <e^ipi> a flash drive, yes... that gives a perf. boost
[07:29:17] *** nitrile_ has quit IRC
[07:29:19] <e^ipi> thumb drive... no
[07:29:33] <_Lewellyn> not all thumb drives are slow. the VAST majority, however...
[07:29:35] <telexicon> _Lewellyn, like, a sata SSD disk
[07:29:41] <telexicon> not a thumb drive
[07:29:51] <_Lewellyn> telexicon: or a flash device embedded on a controller.
[07:30:16] <e^ipi> or some DRAM chips on a PCI bus
[07:30:22] <_Lewellyn> e^ipi: same thing :)
[07:30:44] <_Lewellyn> if it's battery-backed, at least, it's the same thing, i suppose.

[07:48:12] <devians> rtorrent seems to need libcurl v4, how would i install this so that rtorrent can see it?
[07:48:31] *** sophokles has joined #opensolaris
[07:48:44] <_Lewellyn> devians: if you install rtorrent from SFE, that gets dealt with automatically.
[07:48:59] <_setuid_H> devians: try to add it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[07:49:18] <_Lewellyn> shouldn't need to touch LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[07:49:42] <_Lewellyn> devians: would you like a package for it? :P
[07:50:10] <_setuid_H> _Lewellyn: well than you need to build it with the same prefix as the sfe packages
[07:50:15] <_setuid_H> or whatever
[07:50:33] <_setuid_H> I don't know which authority is your rtorrent
[07:50:43] <_setuid_H> or what repository
[07:50:48] <_Lewellyn> _setuid_H: i have packages i put online for someone else a week ago
[07:51:07] <devians> SFE? im not familiar with this sorry :) a package would be nice
[07:51:18] <_setuid_H> _Lewellyn: ok than just build it with the same prefix and maybe --enable-shared
[07:51:28] <devians> im using the rtorrent packages from whacked.net
[07:51:44] <_Lewellyn> SFE is Spec Files Extra. it's like a "contrib" thing where you can build your own packages from source.

[07:54:42] <_setuid_H> jzu_: genunix.org
[07:54:42] <devians> _Lewellyn, i already have the whacked package for rtorrent installed. so what you're saying is i need yet another package manager so i can get the libs it needs?
[07:54:54] <_setuid_H> jzu_: or it is .com?
[07:54:56] <_Lewellyn> i have no clue what whacked is
[07:55:18] <jzu_> _setuid_H: it's org
[07:55:27] <jzu_> _setuid_H: is Global ISO X86 & SPARC?
[07:55:43] <_setuid_H> jzu_: no just automated installer
[07:55:48] <_Lewellyn> jzu_: sxce is the only "official" opensolaris for sparc, right now
[07:56:11] <_Lewellyn> devians: um. looking at that date, those are old packages

[07:58:11] *** colyte has joined #opensolaris
[07:59:17] <_Lewellyn> devians: fwiw, my packages have been run on sxce and osol. and it's the current version of rtorrent.
[08:00:15] <_Lewellyn> i guess it's the same version as what you found, but those look problematic, based on the comments
[08:00:27] *** svcadm has quit IRC
[08:00:50] <devians> fair enough. ill have a go at uninstalling them and ill look into your package :)
[08:01:12] <devians> do i need to install anything sfe related to install the pkg you linked?
[08:01:29] <_Lewellyn> nope. let me grab the requirements. one moment.
[08:02:03] *** div110 has joined #opensolaris
[08:02:30] <_Lewellyn> ok. SFErtorrent requires SUNWsigcpp, SFExmlrpc-c, SUNWcurl, SUNWncurses
[08:02:53] <_Lewellyn> SFExmlrpc-c requires... nothing :)
[08:03:08] <_Lewellyn> i would assume that you have those 3 SUNW packages
[08:03:09] <devians> will pkgadd -d realise this and dl those? sorry im still new to how os works
[08:03:30] <_Lewellyn> pkgadd will complain if you're missing dependencies, if that's the question.
[08:03:49] <_Lewellyn> pkgadd is "dumb". that's one reason for pkg
[08:04:13] <devians> mk, how do i use pkg install with a downloaded file?
[08:04:46] <jzu_> could someone list pros and cons of Solaris 10 vs. OpenSolaris?=)
[08:05:24] <_Lewellyn> i'm on sxce. i don't get pkg :)
[08:05:41] <_Lewellyn> unbzip2 those files. then use pkgadd on them :)
[08:05:52] <devians> kk
[08:06:05] *** teknomega has quit IRC
[08:06:24] <_Lewellyn> when sxce gets pkg, i'll know more about it ;)
[08:06:50] <_Lewellyn> jzu_: pros? newer software, more features, better hardware support
[08:08:07] <_Lewellyn> cons? under development and isn't as "stable" as the 4-years-since-release solaris 10, it can be slower for some people for some tasks (again, under development), if you follow the development versions you may encounter bugs that may be gone 2 weeks later :)
[08:08:25] <_Lewellyn> oh, more zfs features in opensolaris :)
[08:08:40] <_Lewellyn> and if you're using "opensolaris" vs sxce, you get a new package manager.
[08:09:01] <_Lewellyn> another con... the dt stuff is going away. but you'll have to deal with that in solaris 11 anyhow.
[08:09:19] <_Lewellyn> my /usr/openwin is shrinking constantly :(
[08:09:39] <devians> gah, package management in solaris makes my brain hurt. trying to figure out how to remove the 3 packages i installed earlier
[08:09:41] <_setuid_H> jzu_: I can give you some steps how to create an ips image in sxce ...
[08:09:56] <_setuid_H> jzu_: or even in solaris 10
[08:13:36] <devians> ok got that sorted... now

[08:46:45] <_Lewellyn> i still suspect that the code's broken

[09:06:51] <palowoda> Maybe, I just wondered if I wasted my time building my own 64bit apache/php/mysql. All except I used the 5.1.8 client libs from the mysql site.
[09:07:45] <palowoda> I was wondering what compiler they used. I ended up using gcc 4.3.

[09:10:30] *** cypromis has joined #opensolaris
[09:10:45] *** Auralis_ has joined #opensolaris
[09:10:49] <lblume> Coolstack uses GCC for MySQL on x86
[09:10:59] <lblume> However, it builds fine using Studio 12
[09:11:26] <lblume> I'm using it 32 bits, and I've successuflly tested it as 64 (but I was too lazy to rebuild the whole stack)
[09:12:05] *** nitrile has joined #opensolaris
[09:12:08] <lblume> I shun MySQL.org packages, they've not proven reliable in my experience
[09:12:44] <_Lewellyn> palowoda: i only run coolstack on sparc, since sxce/osol include current versions of webstack stuff
[09:13:14] <_Lewellyn> (my lone x86 box [this laptop] runs sxce)
[09:13:26] <palowoda> Hmm, is there a test I can use to see this unrealiablity with the 5.1.8 version of mysql's x86 64bit port?
[09:13:33] <_Lewellyn> for my needs, 5.0 is current enough :)
[09:13:36] <flyingparchment> 5.1.8??
[09:13:37] <lblume> mib_knsghv: Ever tried Inner Mongolian cheese snacks? And I'm told they live on it. *shudder*
[09:13:48] <palowoda> Hang on.
[09:13:51] <flyingparchment> is 5.1.8 even a release version, or some beta/alpha?
[09:13:57] <flyingparchment> (current is 5.1.31...)
[09:14:13] <palowoda> Your right I'm using 5.1.31.
[09:14:24] <lblume> palowoda: It wasn't unreliable, just buggy scripts, and installs in/usr/local, of all places (their system must be lacking filesystem(4) )
[09:14:41] <lblume> Also wasn't built with the options I needed.
[09:14:50] <_Lewellyn> filesystem(5)?
[09:15:30] <palowoda> I guess I didn't notice that bug because I install it in /usr/local.

[09:16:46] <palowoda> Nah I rarely read.
[09:16:51] <lblume> It was an issue for me at that time, since it was conflicting with another older version I wanted to get rid of. Also, IIRC, the RUN_PATH wasn't great, and needed LD_LIBRARY_PATH or such hacks.
[09:17:09] <lblume> Americans and reading....

[09:22:45] <palowoda> I guess I was expecting too much, the latest apache, latest php, latest mysql and latest UofW imap and latest openssl 64bit.
[09:23:35] <lblume> Ah, I've been using it 32, ot 64. I'd like to go 64 on my home server soon, at least for a try. I've built everything, but not activated yet.
[09:23:53] <lblume> Only a short MySQL run, for a few days, and it seemed to work.
[09:24:56] <_Lewellyn> palowoda: why do you need 64-bit mysql, btw?
[09:25:15] <_Lewellyn> from what i understand, 64-bit actually takes a performance hit most of the time
[09:25:27] <palowoda> Because I wanted everything 64bits.
[09:25:28] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: mysql is one of the few things where 64-bit is often required - because it needs a lot of memory
[09:25:38] <flyingparchment> (ours is using 28GB, which would be hard if it was a 32-bit build)
[09:26:04] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: no. the coolstack docs explain that well. you only need 64-bit if you have tables over 4gb, iirc.
[09:26:10] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: no, that isn't true
[09:26:14] <palowoda> I want no modules 32bit and I don't want the compiler backend producing shitty code.
[09:26:16] * _Lewellyn digs for that
[09:26:22] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: well, it is, sort of. we _could_ run mysql in 32-bit using, say, 1GB, but it would be much slower
[09:26:27] <_Lewellyn> maybe it's only true on sparc.
[09:26:28] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: the 28GB is for the InnoDB buffer cache
[09:26:39] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: it's a bit like the SGA on oracle
[09:26:40] <palowoda> And I don't care about sparc
[09:26:51] <flyingparchment> bigger cache = runs faster. it way offsets the lose of 64-bit slow down
[09:26:58] <colyte> is there a place to request packages to be included on opensolaris.org?
[09:27:10] <_Lewellyn> colyte: which packages?
[09:27:22] <colyte> usually most software that does math benefits from 64bit.
[09:27:30] *** KOHJU is now known as kohju
[09:27:39] <colyte> _Lewellyn: whatever I desire.. ;)
[09:27:48] <flyingparchment> dont think mysql does much maths ;)
[09:28:02] <_Lewellyn> colyte: have you checked the software porting project?
[09:28:03] <codestr0m> is the sol10 and SXCE installer almost the same? I'm making a comparison chart for some of the key differences.. other than sol10 is just rigidly tested and features/bugs are backported for longer support
[09:28:09] <colyte> _Lewellyn: In my case these days, irssi, screen, nano, rtorrent
[09:28:36] <_Lewellyn> irssi and screen are SUNW packages, at least
[09:28:38] <_Lewellyn> dunno about nano
[09:28:42] <_Lewellyn> and rtorrent is in SFE
[09:28:54] <colyte> _Lewellyn: csw packages for irssi and screen, not sunw.
[09:29:36] <colyte> _Lewellyn: nano csw as well. rtorrent doesnt compute from sfe on opensolaris. works for solaris but yeah. i was fortunate enough to get the old packages compiled for me.
[09:31:01] <_Lewellyn> SUNWirssi
[09:31:15] <_Lewellyn> SUNWscreen
[09:31:18] <_Lewellyn> both are installed, here
[09:31:28] <palowoda> codestr0m: How do you explain the testing of S10 vers SXCE?
[09:31:29] *** ken has quit IRC
[09:31:29] <flyingparchment> codestr0m: the SXCE installer is the same because no development is happening on it. (except a little bit to add basic zfs support)
[09:31:36] <_Lewellyn> define "doesn't compute"...
[09:31:54] <_Lewellyn> i have no problems with rtorrent from sfe
[09:32:18] <codestr0m> palowoda: for sol10 I describe as "Rigidly tested and long term support contracts available" for SXCE "Best preview of what may become integrated in the next version of Solaris"
[09:32:23] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: S10U6 supports zfs root, too ;)
[09:32:38] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: yes, i know. afaik that's the only reason it was added to sxce - so it could go into S10
[09:32:51] <_Lewellyn> codestr0m: the sxce installer is still the s10 installer, until there's something better available
[09:32:52] <palowoda> Rigidly tested?
[09:33:01] <palowoda> What the heck does that mean?
[09:33:33] <_Lewellyn> palowoda: there's plenty of packages that haven't changed since before release. 4 years ago.
[09:33:52] *** kohju is now known as KOHJU
[09:33:54] *** KOHJU is now known as kohju
[09:34:01] <lblume> palowoda: Not what a dictionary would tell you, for sure.
[09:34:05] <palowoda> I guess it could mean wack it over the head with a board.
[09:34:43] *** andy8 has joined #opensolaris
[09:35:20] *** andy8 has quit IRC
[09:35:22] <palowoda> Or maybe the tester had rigamortis.
[09:35:44] *** andy0 has joined #opensolaris
[09:35:54] *** andy0 is now known as Andrewski6667
[09:36:01] <palowoda> Or maybe the tester had a hardon for the customer.
[09:36:10] <Andrewski6667> i think i totally screwed myself
[09:36:21] <Andrewski6667> by using the update facility in gnome
[09:36:22] <lblume> I never thought of those explanations... They sound so plausible....
[09:36:33] <_Lewellyn> oh neat. i just discovered that gnome itself can't access my cdrom drive for the first few discs after boot on 109. :(
[09:37:15] <Andrewski6667> does it error out?
[09:37:25] <Andrewski6667> put anything on the console/
[09:37:26] <Andrewski6667> ?
[09:37:52] <_Lewellyn> nothing on console. dunno if the console's being redirected to a log somewhere.
[09:38:02] <Andrewski6667> hm
[09:38:19] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: cd-roms are an obsolete technology and support for them is being removed from solaris. the network is the computer!
[09:38:24] <_Lewellyn> but "Unable to scan CD-RW/DVD+-RW Drive for media changes" is the headline in the error box
[09:38:34] <_Lewellyn> dbus access denied stuff
[09:38:34] <Andrewski6667> well at least yours boots
[09:38:35] *** ken1 is now known as ken-work
[09:38:47] <_Lewellyn> takes forever, but yes, it boots
[09:38:48] <Andrewski6667> i used the gnome updater (yeah, stupid i guess) and now it's broken
[09:38:52] <palowoda> flyingparchment: I wish.
[09:39:00] <Andrewski6667> anyway, i got tired after 2 hours
[09:39:08] <Andrewski6667> rebooted it into text mode, worked fine
[09:39:14] <_Lewellyn> something networky broke in 109, too. not sure what. but my startup errors for networking have changed
[09:39:17] <Andrewski6667> except no gnome
[09:39:25] <mib_knsghv> @lblume: sorry was afk. no, never tried inner mongolian cheese cake... or inner mongolian anything for that matter. They must be using very nuticious plastics, if they live on it :P
[09:39:26] <_Lewellyn> Andrewski6667: file a bug :)
[09:39:32] <palowoda> Too bad only DL DVD's where only allowed.
[09:39:34] <_setuid_H> _Lewellyn: another problems with nwam?
[09:39:44] <Andrewski6667> heh
[09:39:47] <Andrewski6667> yeah, ok
[09:39:50] <Andrewski6667> can't hurt i guess
[09:39:52] <_setuid_H> _setuid_H: this is why I'm still using physical:default
[09:40:05] <_Lewellyn> _setuid_H: i have no clue what's up. but the messages at boot have changed. i'll take pics when i file my bugs, don't worry.
[09:40:08] <Andrewski6667> there are a few people out there who have potential workarounds
[09:40:20] <_setuid_H> _Lewellyn: ok
[09:40:24] <_Lewellyn> Andrewski6667: imo, it shouldn't break things.
[09:40:31] <Andrewski6667> but my opensolaris box is at work and won't boot, otherwise i'd be all hooked up with x11
[09:41:31] <Andrewski6667> i guess word on the street is, if you see the little upgrade notification, don't use it
[09:41:54] <palowoda> Oh that, did it ever work.
[09:42:07] <_setuid_H> well for those who are afraid of non-stability do not use dev authority
[09:42:27] <Andrewski6667> instead do pkg img-update
[09:42:37] <Andrewski6667> or pkg image-update rather
[09:43:12] <_setuid_H> or install entire@version to which you want to udpate
[09:43:16] <Andrewski6667> I think FreeBSD has it beat right now if only because it "works"
[09:43:29] <Andrewski6667> what?
[09:43:44] <_setuid_H> Andrew1: that was to the entire post?
[09:44:12] <Andrewski6667> is there some document somewhere that explains the prefered way to update?
[09:44:27] <colyte> _Lewellyn: you were right, they were there. I feel stupid for not using -r with pkg search, because that yielded me nothing.
[09:44:28] <palowoda> Use the dev authority.
[09:44:46] <_setuid_H> palowoda: i'm using it but time by time something does not work
[09:44:47] <palowoda> Other than that buy the opensolaris support contrackt.
[09:44:51] <palowoda> contract.
[09:45:04] <_Lewellyn> colyte: i use sxce. if i have a SUNW package, it's packaged by sun ;)
[09:45:05] <Andrewski6667> shoot
[09:45:11] *** Fullmoon has joined #opensolaris
[09:45:18] <Andrewski6667> i'll buy a contract right here if they can get my business booting again!
[09:45:20] <palowoda> high, aim low.
[09:46:17] <palowoda> Don't worry nobody knows what you really get with a opensolaris support contract.
[09:46:29] <Andrewski6667> i'd rather understand the problem and how to fix it, rather than paying a mentat at Sun to know all the answers, though
[09:46:41] <Andrewski6667> heh
[09:46:58] <palowoda> Well what problem do you have to begin with?
[09:47:17] *** Madkiss has joined #opensolaris
[09:47:18] <Madkiss> hi folks
[09:47:28] <Andrewski6667> i installed opensolaris (have been running it in virtualbox for a while, wanted it on the metal)
[09:47:33] <Andrewski6667> works fine
[09:47:48] <Madkiss> just a quick question; when using svcadm to enable autostart of a service, where do I specify command-line parameters for that service? iow, where d I find the "bind9-init-script" in opensolaris?
[09:47:52] <Andrewski6667> I installed some packages with the package manager, from Sun
[09:48:01] <Andrewski6667> then I discovered blastwave and installed other stuff
[09:48:05] <Andrewski6667> works fine
[09:48:11] <palowoda> continue
[09:48:14] <colyte> _Lewellyn: About requestion packages tho in general, where to go?
[09:48:16] <Andrewski6667> heck, i even had windows up in a virtualbox, running really smoothly
[09:48:25] <palowoda> and
[09:48:34] <Andrewski6667> then I get this little notifier in my taskbar
[09:48:42] <Andrewski6667> said "updates available"
[09:48:46] <palowoda> there is your problem
[09:48:47] <_Lewellyn> colyte: the software porting project
[09:48:50] <Andrewski6667> so I clicked it and proceeded with the update
[09:48:54] <Andrewski6667> yeah
[09:48:59] <palowoda> big mistake.
[09:49:04] <_Lewellyn> colyte: you also never elaborated on your rtorrent issue
[09:49:13] <Andrewski6667> now it just sits on the blue OpenSolaris screen and the darn orange thing goes from left to right
[09:49:22] <Andrewski6667> so, I can boot into the text mode environment
[09:49:29] <palowoda> shot the button with a gun.
[09:49:32] <Andrewski6667> but I can't even boot to the previous boot environment
[09:49:32] *** pgr has joined #opensolaris
[09:49:43] <Andrewski6667> the X11 one anyway
[09:49:51] <Andrewski6667> text mode, as I said, works
[09:49:57] <Andrewski6667> so I can get a terminal, not a problem
[09:50:02] <_Lewellyn> Andrewski6667: reinstall SUNWgmone*?
[09:50:09] <_Lewellyn> gnome even
[09:50:15] <Andrewski6667> but, is it gnome?
[09:50:15] <palowoda> But those are known bugs.
[09:50:33] <Andrewski6667> it won't even launch gdm
[09:50:43] <_Lewellyn> gdm == gnome display manager
[09:50:47] <Andrewski6667> won't even change video modes and then fail, or anything
[09:51:00] <Andrewski6667> so I think it's something not related to gnome
[09:51:11] *** Fullmoon has quit IRC
[09:51:27] *** div111 has joined #opensolaris
[09:51:28] <codestr0m> can you get long term or only short term support contracts for SXCE?
[09:51:35] <codestr0m> (or do they not offer support on it?)
[09:51:49] <flyingparchment> what does long term and short term mean?
[09:52:10] <palowoda> Platinum contracts are long term.
[09:52:19] <palowoda> And they are cheap too.
[09:52:47] <lblume> They still do contracts on SXCE? I thought it had been discnotinued in favor of OpenSolaris.com?
[09:52:49] <Andrewski6667> I guess nobody else has upgraded with the button and recovered?
[09:52:50] *** Deesl has joined #opensolaris
[09:52:51] <_Lewellyn> hm. iirc, if you get a platinum contract on a solaris express release, it carries over onto final release. is that still the case?
[09:52:53] <Andrewski6667> or had a problem
[09:52:55] <Andrewski6667> that's somethin
[09:53:10] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: afaik, one buys support for solaris in general, not a specific release
[09:53:23] <Andrewski6667> I could spend a whole day getting everything set up again
[09:53:23] <flyingparchment> it's attached to the machine, so whatever solaris you run on the machine is supported, as long as it's a supported release
[09:53:30] <palowoda> If you can afford a platinum contract you would be on this irc.
[09:53:36] <palowoda> wouldn't
[09:53:37] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: hm. i seem to recall that solaris express contracts were cheaper, once upon a time.
[09:53:52] <lblume> _Lewellyn: If you have a metal contracts, all flavors of Solaris are supported (if you're on the right hardware)
[09:53:53] <flyingparchment> the old SX contracts were pretty useless
[09:53:59] <flyingparchment> iirc, they allowed you to submit bugs, and nothing else
[09:54:12] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: but i recall them "upgrading" upon release.
[09:54:21] <colyte> _Lewellyn: Through SFE, it simply didnt start the compile because of dep issues.
[09:54:33] <_Lewellyn> colyte: it requires 3 SUNW packages
[09:54:38] * _Lewellyn scrolls back
[09:55:03] <_Lewellyn> [00:04] <_Lewellyn> ok. SFErtorrent requires SUNWsigcpp, SFExmlrpc-c, SUNWcurl, SUNWncurses
[09:55:03] <_Lewellyn> [00:04] <_Lewellyn> SFExmlrpc-c requires... nothing :)
[09:55:22] <_Lewellyn> the build reqs are a bit harsher though, iirc.
[09:55:33] *** Andrewski6667 has quit IRC
[09:55:45] <colyte> _Lewellyn: Thanks for the headsup :)
[09:55:49] <_Lewellyn> i extend my normal offer, though. i have prebuilt x86 binaries for that
[09:56:13] *** jteo has joined #opensolaris
[09:56:17] <_Lewellyn> and if you're using a recent pkgbuild, it should use pkg to pull in SUNW deps, from what i can tell
[09:56:19] *** MattMan has joined #opensolaris
[09:56:31] <codestr0m> flyingparchment: yes the support contracts are useless for SXCE and osol if they are the same.. and long terms means 5-10 years and short is 6 months - 2 years
[09:56:35] <_Lewellyn> i have sxce and don't know for sure
[09:56:53] <flyingparchment> codestr0m: contracts are sold for 1 year and 3 years. unless that's changed
[09:56:59] <codestr0m> flyingparchment: thanks
[09:57:01] <palowoda> So how much is a platinum contract these days?
[09:57:05] <codestr0m> I think osol is 1 year max
[09:57:46] <lblume> 1 year after the end of distribution (18 months from the start, then)
[09:58:03] *** pgr has quit IRC
[09:59:02] <colyte> _Lewellyn: the most recent beta when i tried. I havent been using opensolaris for that long ;)
[09:59:14] <palowoda> Wait what is the best contract, gold silver or platinum?
[09:59:22] *** mib_knsghv has quit IRC
[09:59:44] <flyingparchment> i want a "solaris everywhere" contract.
[09:59:47] <flyingparchment> but i suspect we're a little small.
[10:00:16] <palowoda> Last I known a platinum was 56K.
[10:00:24] <flyingparchment> it depends on the hardware
[10:01:03] <palowoda> You mean how many mill's of hardware total?
[10:01:18] <flyingparchment> no, the number of CPUs (for x86), or the system category (tier/whatever) for sparc
[10:01:40] <palowoda> Ok explain.
[10:01:42] <lblume> What about the non-metal support contracts? Like those for developers?
[10:01:49] <flyingparchment> if your system has more cpus it costs more to buy support for it
[10:02:08] <flyingparchment> that's why a contract for an SF15k costs more than a contract for a V210
[10:02:12] <_Lewellyn> palowoda: 56k isn't much at all, really.
[10:02:26] <palowoda> You mean platinum cost is based on cores?
[10:02:34] <lblume> Sockets.
[10:02:40] <flyingparchment> no, i said it's based on CPU (not cores) for x86 and system category for sparc
[10:03:08] <palowoda> Example?

[10:05:23] <flyingparchment> hmm.. what do people use for batch job scheduling in solaris?
[10:05:47] <flyingparchment> say i have 10 compute servers and 1 head node, and i want something to schedule jobs over those systems
[10:06:13] *** div110 has quit IRC
[10:07:09] <palowoda> I thought culstering has obsoleted job scheduling.
[10:07:25] *** csjp_ has quit IRC
[10:07:42] <palowoda> Or cloud computing.
[10:07:59] <flyingparchment> no, that's different
[10:08:00] *** e-jat has joined #opensolaris
[10:08:19] <flyingparchment> i have more work than available resources, and i need something to schedule that work, so the more important things are done first, and the less important things wait for resources
[10:08:50] <palowoda> But cloud computing has more resorces than you right?
[10:08:58] <flyingparchment> i don't know what that means
[10:09:09] <flyingparchment> a "cloud" has as many resources as the number of machines in the cloud
[10:09:12] <flyingparchment> (i hate that word, btw.)
[10:09:25] <palowoda> It means job scheduling is out date.
[10:09:39] <palowoda> The problem is lack of resources.
[10:09:40] <flyingparchment> why?
[10:09:46] *** mib_3y8xvg has joined #opensolaris
[10:09:49] <palowoda> Hardware problem.
[10:09:53] <flyingparchment> uh, no.
[10:10:00] <palowoda> Yeah.
[10:10:01] <flyingparchment> that would be true for some workloads, it's not true for this one
[10:10:18] <flyingparchment> we need enough hardware for each job to finish in the time required for it
[10:10:23] *** pgr has joined #opensolaris
[10:10:28] <flyingparchment> that doesn't mean every job has to be running at once, competing for resources until they all finish
[10:10:31] <palowoda> Is it a hardware problem?
[10:10:38] <flyingparchment> there is no problem at all
[10:10:46] <flyingparchment> i just need some software that can do job scheduling
[10:11:42] <palowoda> Some third party companies do try to sell job scheduling on Solaris. Don't know if they are successful at it.
[10:11:50] <flyingparchment> such as?
[10:12:06] <palowoda> The ones that no longer exist?

[10:58:02] <mib_3y8xvg> thanks, ive been there. I feel quite overwhelmed by the information there. I need a more "for Dummies" approach, I think :P

[11:00:10] <mib_3y8xvg> Hehe. Well, i got OpenSolaris running in a VBox virtual machine. Installing it was no problem. Im looking to use the powers of ZFS (which I read is the most advanced FS out there) to build a small file server
[11:00:53] <mib_3y8xvg> unfortunately, searching stuff like "samba opensolaris" on google, doesnt get me very far.
[11:01:38] <Stric> google://"sharecifs"
[11:01:43] <palowoda> Err what does zfs have to do with samba, which is cifs in solaris.
[11:01:45] *** alex25 has joined #opensolaris
[11:02:37] <_setuid_H> palowoda: well this is not about that solaris renamed it this is about that microsoft renamed it :-)
[11:02:41] <Stric> samba is a userspace CIFS server, opensolaris also has a kernel integrated server with better performance (but less features in the "domain" part)
[11:03:02] <mib_3y8xvg> palowoda: im just saying i want to make use of the reliability of ZFS and build a fileserver that'll play nice in an otherwise windows only network.
[11:03:26] <palowoda> You have my permission.
[11:03:36] *** lblume has quit IRC
[11:03:45] <Stric> "play nice" is also a big vague.. depends if you just need it as a file server, or AD integration, NT4-domain integration, ....
[11:04:22] <mib_3y8xvg> stric: thanks. thats helpful. Domain integration wont be an issue. Its just needed as a plain fileserver for a network share. Once thats up and running, I'd like to get things like ACL sorted out.

[11:07:05] <mib_3y8xvg> stric: thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Ill give it a shot
[11:07:42] <Stric> you can use samba as well, but the kernel cifs thingie will most probably give better performance
[11:07:57] <stewart> Is it normal to only get 10-20 fsyncs()/second out of OpenSolaris ?
[11:08:15] <Stric> how much can your storage do?
[11:08:47] <stewart> Stric: it'll be a desktop drive (remote machine... haven't seen inside it)
[11:09:09] <Stric> I was referring to the system that gives you 10-20 fsyncs/sec
[11:09:18] <stewart> yeah, that's it.
[11:09:27] <stewart> it's just OpenSolaris on a 16 core xeon
[11:09:29] <Stric> fsync is a whole lot about how many IOPS your storage does
[11:09:41] <stewart> yep

[11:11:53] <legolasw> what is opensolaris command which works like fdisk -l
[11:12:45] <stewart> but - for example. T1000 running linux completes this test in 41seconds. opensolaris on 16 core xeon times out after 5 or 10 minutes.

[11:14:08] <legolasw> Thank you.
[11:14:17] <Stric> stewart: it does sound low though, but I guess a whole lot is about circumstances..
[11:14:26] <Stric> legolasw: or iostat -En
[11:14:39] <Stric> or cfgadm -la
[11:14:46] <Stric> depends on what type of info you want
[11:15:27] <Stric> seanmcg: just tested on a sol10 machine on zfs, writing 3 chars, then fsync().. *100 times.. 0.5 secs
[11:15:39] <Stric> err. wrong s* ;)
[11:15:45] <Stric> stewart: ^^^
[11:15:56] <stewart> hrrm...
[11:16:32] <stewart> Stric: using dtrace to find out how long each is taking
[11:17:39] *** timsf has joined #opensolaris
[11:18:00] <Stric> stewart: zpool iostat 1 at the same time gives what?
[11:18:18] <Stric> write operations should be roughly the number of iops the storage does
[11:19:01] <stewart> Stric: write ops staying constant at around 7 or 8 (maybe up to 10,11).
[11:19:14] <Stric> that's not right
[11:19:21] <stewart> write bandwidth anywhere from 32k to 1mb
[11:19:32] <Stric> unless you're writing to a floppy or something
[11:19:50] <Stric> assuming you're writing to ZFS.. otherwise zpool iostat is kinda worthless
[11:20:45] *** oenone_ has joined #opensolaris

[11:20:53] *** mib_3y8xvg has quit IRC

[11:22:20] *** otep has joined #opensolaris
[11:22:28] <flyingparchment> oenone_: safer in what way? most people would suggest solaris 10 for production systems

[11:23:49] <Stric> stewart: just to confirm.. this is on a single or possibly mirrored regular disk, right?
[11:23:54] <stewart> yep.
[11:24:07] <stewart> AFAIK
[11:24:23] <Stric> You don't know if it's on a HD or a floppy?

[11:48:17] <eklof> Hi, I have some question on sharing a pool with smb. I have a /storage pool shared by smb. I then have a /storage/Documents filesystem also shared by smb. If I connect to the /storage share, I can see the /storage/documents folder but it's empty. But when I connect directly to /storage/document I see the content (browsing the filesystem remote) However listing the filesystem directly on the server things look fine.
[11:48:30] <eklof> Is this some issue with smb or is it expected behaviour?
[11:49:15] <eklof> Shouldn't one be able to have filesystem inside other filesystems and be able to see them when mounting the parent share? If you know what I mean.
[11:50:41] <tsoome> its shared with kernel cifs?
[11:51:12] <tsoome> probably is...
[11:51:13] <eklof> Oh it could be a permission problem I just detected, hang on :)
[11:52:36] *** penguini has joined #opensolaris
[11:52:37] <eklof> Hrm noNo it wasn't :(
[11:52:48] <eklof> Yes I use the ZFS share property
[11:53:12] <tsoome> the thing is, kernel cifs server scope is one file system; if your client is mounting share, its share corresponding to that zfs file system
[11:53:39] <eklof> But if another filesystem reside inside, that one will not be shared unless mounted specifically?
[11:53:48] <tsoome> so from client point of view, you need to mount all shares, then browse
[11:53:56] <eklof> Hrm all right.
[11:54:08] <eklof> Not so good idea to nest filesystems then if shared
[11:54:21] <eklof> because they look empty and I get freaked out :)
[11:54:22] <tsoome> depends
[11:54:25] *** bizkut has joined #opensolaris
[11:55:44] <eklof> I want to nest filesystems to easily see space allocation with df -h but only want to mount the top share with clients and still be able to browse all filesystems
[11:55:52] <eklof> insted of mounting 50 filesystems :)
[11:55:57] *** ericjray has joined #opensolaris
[11:56:25] <eklof> tried nfs as well, but that gives even more strange things.
[11:56:34] <tsoome> you can use samba ofc, as samba is not working on filesystem level, but its browsing directories
[11:56:56] *** alex25 has left #opensolaris
[11:56:58] <eklof> All right, so cifs,nfs and samba are not the same?
[11:57:22] <_setuid_H> eklof: nfs is different
[11:57:25] <eklof> oh sorry
[11:57:27] <eklof> smb
[11:57:42] <_setuid_H> it's like are those systems the same windows solaris windooze
[11:57:54] <eklof> ok:)
[11:58:03] <eklof> thought it was using the same protocol
[11:58:05] <_setuid_H> wall smb stands for server message block
[11:58:11] <_setuid_H> which is the protocol
[11:58:16] <eklof> So CIFS is the stuff included in ZFS properties?
[11:58:19] <_setuid_H> but Microsoft renamed it to cifs
[11:58:23] <eklof> oh
[11:58:28] <_setuid_H> so solaris is using the new name
[11:58:32] <eklof> I see.
[11:58:49] <_setuid_H> samba stands for the complete solution
[11:58:50] <oenone> solaris has two methods to share, it's own implementation, or by installing samba
[11:58:54] <_setuid_H> or how to say it
[11:58:56] <tsoome> still there is sharesmb parameter in zfs and not sharecifs :D
[11:59:13] <_setuid_H> tsoome: request for update rfu :-)
[11:59:24] <tsoome> tbh, i cant care less:D
[11:59:30] <_setuid_H> tsoome: :-)
[12:00:36] <eklof> Still think the behaviour is strange, but perhaps it's my Mac-klient that is the problem
[12:00:48] <eklof> Only have macs to test with
[12:01:02] <tsoome> why strange?
[12:01:32] *** ruse39[home] has quit IRC
[12:01:47] <eklof> If I mount the /storage filesystem I think I should be able to navigate to /storage/documents and see the contents even though it is a separate filesystem.
[12:01:51] <tsoome> you have separate shares, what you expect is client to mount other shares automatically while browsing directory tree
[12:02:02] *** penguini has left #opensolaris

[12:08:15] <oenone> raidz2 allows two disks to fail.. if i have raidz1 and one hot spare, two disks could fail, too.. any advice, which of these solutions would have better performance or reliability?
[12:09:06] <Dominic> with raidz2, you don't have to wait for your hot spare to sync up
[12:09:20] <Dominic> (which could in turn, induce an additional disk failure because of the load)
[12:09:30] <eklof> Using spare, you have a vurnability-window when the first disc fail and the spare is synced. If another disk is failing during that time, you are toast! :)
[12:09:30] <tsoome> microsoft is using DFS to solve this kind of issues, so if the client is browsing the dfs tree, it will mount needed resources while browsing. unfortunately the samba bits in macos are old and it cant really cope with dfs
[12:10:05] <eklof> tsoome: ok, I will complain to Mr Jobs! :)
[12:10:41] <tsoome> also, you need AD to set the dfs namespace up, therefore plain solaris server is no use for it....
[12:10:46] <eklof> oenone: I'd say raidz2 is better.
[12:10:47] *** oenone_ has joined #opensolaris
[12:11:29] <eklof> tsoome: problem is that using NFS is really not better. It displays the document share as a strange icon and when i click it, it disappears :)
[12:11:40] <eklof> Maybe the nfs-bit in mac osx is lame ass to! :(
[12:11:56] * eklof is soon installing opensolaris on his mac
[12:12:12] <tsoome> you need to mount the document share first
[12:12:43] <oenone_> did anybody answer my question? my server went offline again :(
[12:13:21] <eklof> Using spare, you have a vurnability-window when the first disc fail and the spare is synced. If another disk is failing during that time, you are toast! :)
[12:13:33] <eklof> So I think raidz2 is better.
[12:13:41] <Dominic> oenone_: with raidz2, you don't have to wait for your hot spare to sync up (which could in turn, induce an additional disk failure because of the load)
[12:13:47] <eklof> Performance-wise, I have no idea :)

[12:56:39] <eklof> I have had a bad experience with exporting and importing and that makes me nervous :)
[12:56:43] <Stric> oenone: can be solved if you want to by creating something with reservation
[12:56:43] <telexicon> oenone, what was it for on ext?
[12:58:11] <oenone> telexicon: on other systems there is 5% of the disk space reserved for root, no user can use more space if it's 95% full (even df shows it as 100% full then)
[12:58:29] <oenone> Stric: i just wanted to know if it was there by default.. if not it's okay
[12:58:55] <Stric> telexicon: performance goes down the drain on most filesystems when you're getting short on free blocks
[12:59:26] <telexicon> Stric, yeah, but zfs is copy on write so i dont know how that would interact
[12:59:50] <Stric> telexicon: it still needs to find free blocks to put data.. and yes, zfs suffers from this too
[13:00:19] <telexicon> Stric, doesnt zfs track a free area?

[13:17:30] <jmcp> krisis: easier than irc? sure
[13:17:49] <jmcp> and you wouldn't learn how to *use* dtrace from src.opensolaris.org
[13:18:09] <krisis> jmcp: i meant easier than src.opensolaris.org. and in my humble opinion
[13:18:13] <qiyong> undefined function name: print
[13:18:19] <tsoome> dtrace manual in docs.sun.com was like 800 pages;)

[13:31:07] <krisis> qiyong: where are these local variables, in kernel or userland?
[13:31:37] <qiyong> kernel
[13:34:08] <qiyong> prototype: char, short, int, long, or long long
[13:34:08] <qiyong> argument: struct msgb *
[13:34:21] <qiyong> jmcp: how do i print a struct * ?
[13:34:27] <qiyong> "%x" doesn't work
[13:34:35] <jmcp> qiyong: try %llx, or $p
[13:34:38] <jmcp> %p, rather
[13:34:53] <jmcp> if you want the structure's elements, you'll need to include the relevant header file in your D script
[13:34:59] <jmcp> this is covered in the manual I pointed you to
[13:35:17] <qiyong> jmcp: i was doing in command line
[13:35:38] <jmcp> so now you'll have to start using a script instead
[13:35:40] * jmcp shrugs
[13:35:44] <jmcp> it's not like it's hard!
[13:36:13] <krisis> qiyong: about seeing local variables in kernel, you might have to add your own SDT probes. which is widely blogged about. ( i have no first hand experience )
[13:36:44] <qiyong> jmcp: it's is func(arg0, arg1), right?
[13:36:51] <jmcp> krisis: qiyong's example functions are from the iprb driver, which is Closed. SDT probes require source so you can compile them in
[13:37:00] <jmcp> qiyong: yes, args number from 0 upwards
[13:37:19] <krisis> jmcp: qiyong: yes, sorry i forgot to mention about source recompiling :(

[14:07:28] <crichardso> anyone here fimilar with comstar i have some questions about if i can use it to do something
[14:09:00] <timsf> legolasw: let me google that for you.
[14:09:12] *** KOHJU is now known as kohju
[14:10:26] <crichardso> like first does it support exporting volumes via iscsi? here is the thing i would like to do i would like to take our existing sans connect them via iscsi to comstar than use comstar for cutting up into volumes and dishing them out to our esx server. this way we can make all our sans in diffrent locations be able to work togher by doing snapshots/relication via the comstar. is this something that is possible with comstar?
[14:11:14] <holcomb> yes.
[14:11:53] <crichardso> holcomb was that yes for me?
[14:12:38] <holcomb> yes
[14:13:13] <crichardso> ok cool and the stuff that comes into comstar you can manage with the same zfs style right?
[14:13:25] <crichardso> in regards to snapshoting and stuff
[14:13:33] <holcomb> for the snapshots, yes
[14:13:41] <legolasw> I have two partitions in c5t0d0, how these partitions are named? are they c5t0d0p1 and c5t0d0p2?
[14:13:43] <holcomb> setting up comstar to do iscsi is a little confusing, but there are examples out there
[14:13:58] *** axisys has joined #opensolaris
[14:13:58] <crichardso> ya i expected that much
[14:14:07] <legolasw> I create the partitions using format and then fdisk sub command, but I can not make a sample raidz pool out of them.
[14:14:19] <crichardso> but thats fine cause the normal shareiscsi doesnt work anyways with esx
[14:16:37] <crichardso> do you know if the only package in ips that is needed is SUNWiscsit ?
[14:17:28] <holcomb> one sec...
[14:17:57] <holcomb> that and SUNWstmf

[14:51:28] <spike-> it's not an imported tank

[14:52:10] <spike-> last time it was mounted was in b106 (now i'm running 109) and it was imported while booted into opensolaris fail safe command line mode
[14:52:26] <spike-> and i scrubbed it the last time it was mounted (can't remember if i exported or not though, the machine was unstable and having major issues)
[14:53:08] *** digifor has quit IRC

[15:05:01] <phips> whoops
[15:09:29] <spike-> Asyd - As far as using fmadm, what exactly am i looking for? The vdev that is reporting as unavail is a vdev that was -removed- and replaced.
[15:09:43] <asyd> so you need to ack the error
[15:10:34] <spike-> what fmadm command should i run?
[15:10:38] <spike-> i'm not seeing any errors
[15:10:58] <alain10> fmadm faulty :)
[15:11:04] <asyd> you have nothing when you type fmadm faulty?
[15:11:07] <spike-> yup that's what i was running
[15:11:09] <spike-> and i'm getting nothing
[15:11:13] <asyd> ok
[15:11:26] <spike-> tried fmadm faulty -a too
[15:11:27] <spike-> still nothing.
[15:11:35] <spike-> all 15 drives are properly functioning
[15:12:02] <spike-> (most are <1 month old)
[15:12:21] <spike-> have any other ideas as to what i can do?
[15:12:41] <spike-> I think it may have something to do with the fact that the last time i mounted it was under a different os version

[15:18:49] <spike-> i can't seem to find when 14 was released
[15:18:57] <spike-> hehe thanks alain10, so am i :p
[15:19:10] <spike-> this sucks, i'm soo worried that i'm not going to be able to recover this data

[15:19:35] *** twisti has joined #opensolaris
[15:19:38] <tsoome> even if there is new zfs version - it wont upgrade the on disk version by itself
[15:19:39] <spike-> there is, but it's on 100+ DVD's, a huge incremental
[15:20:39] <spike-> hmmm, but don't I have to be able to import in order to upgrade?

[15:23:02] <tsoome> but you should be able to import unless zfs version is higher than currently supported one
[15:23:27] <spike-> how do i get more of a log as to whats going on with zfs
[15:23:30] <spike-> like why it can't import
[15:23:46] <tsoome> if you get error about disk access, try to check if disks are actually here and accessible
[15:23:50] <spike-> doesn't make sense, one vdev should be able to be unavail in a raidz1 array
[15:24:03] <spike-> yes they are all present and accessible, did you view the pastebin?
[15:24:48] <tsoome> vdev can fail in working set, im not really sure if you are supposed to be able to import one with failed vdev
[15:25:15] <oenone> well, there should be a possibility to resolve it
[15:25:25] <tsoome> can you access all the disks with format for example?
[15:25:42] <spike-> oh shit
[15:25:45] <spike-> i thought i could
[15:25:47] <spike-> but i missed something
[15:25:49] <spike-> i'm one disk short
[15:25:51] <tsoome> :D
[15:25:54] * spike- goes to figure out whats going on

[15:25:57] <tsoome> indeed
[15:26:01] * spike- stops flipping out for a second
[15:26:03] <seanmcg> spike-, its also not really recomended to have more that 5 or 6 disks in a raidz
[15:26:06] *** ericjray has joined #opensolaris
[15:26:19] <spike-> i thought 8 or 9 was kinda an upper limit
[15:26:20] <oenone> seanmcg: why that?

[15:26:45] <seanmcg> performance, see solarisinternals.com for more
[15:27:08] <tsoome> the more disks you have in raid the more chance you have there will be failures
[15:27:53] <tsoome> performance is another issue ofc, overlooked that:D
[15:27:57] <seanmcg> and what tsoome says too :)
[15:28:39] <spike-> okay right on
[15:28:47] <spike-> thanks for the advice, maybe i'll break it up into 3 sets of 5

[15:30:58] <tsoome> well, the perfomance "issue" depends on your needs:D
[15:31:01] <spike-> i may break that one into 2 different groups for purposes of reliability (once i do a bit more reading as to what was mentioned earlier)
[15:31:09] <spike-> but as far as speed i've always had pleanty
[15:31:17] <spike-> yeah exactly, my needs are -very- basic
[15:31:29] <spike-> this machine mainly runs automated rsync backup tasks in the background
[15:31:38] <tsoome> if you have like 99% of reads, large R5 is just ok
[15:31:48] *** bodie has left #opensolaris
[15:32:07] <tsoome> its the writes which will hit hard...
[15:32:11] <spike-> yeah i have mainly reads
[15:32:19] <spike-> i probably am around 99% reads
[15:32:49] <spike-> because basically this machine pulls a backup from a bunch of other machines at least once daily, but most files don't change, and are thus only checksummed and then skipped over
[15:32:54] <tsoome> as to write block, you need to read like full stripe, change block and write down new lock and new parity
[15:32:58] <spike-> anyhow brb i gotta figure out whats going on with this disk
[15:33:10] <tsoome> lock=block
[15:33:52] *** codestr0m is now known as codestr0m|away
[15:33:53] <spike-> and unfortauntely
[15:33:55] <spike-> no disks are missing
[15:34:12] <spike-> i just miscounted, there are 15 including 0, so 16 total
[15:34:15] <spike-> so all disks do show up in format
[15:34:49] <spike-> so all disks are in format, and thus should be accessible, yet the zpool import command reports that one vdev is screwed...

[15:38:36] <spike-> and the drives were all connected when i did the replacing
[15:38:53] <tsoome> err, did you check if resilver was completed?
[15:38:54] <spike-> i.e. when I did the replacing there were 17 drives total
[15:38:59] <spike-> yes it was
[15:39:01] <spike-> i scrubbed too
[15:39:06] <spike-> then exported

[15:41:09] <spike-> I had 13 sata drives + 2 IDe drives, i decided to go all sata (for purposes of hot swap bays), so I added 2 more SATA drives (while leaving the 2 IDE drives connected) and issued the replace command (on them one at a time, letting them resilver).
[15:41:22] <spike-> Also, one disk died, so I replaced this disk, and let it resilver
[15:41:57] <noptrix> anyone using opensolaris under qemu?
[15:42:01] <spike-> that's why there are 3 replacing commands going on, yet this pool has imported before, with all 3 running, and has scrubbbed fine, it just has something todo with the replacing not being cleared because i was performing maintenance on the pool in os failsafe mode

[15:43:34] <spike-> So any ideas?
[15:43:35] <spike-> heh
[15:44:12] <spike-> tank UNAVAIL insufficient replicas
[15:44:20] <spike-> maybe it doesn't have anything todo with the replacing's
[15:44:26] <spike-> maybe it has to do with replicas
[15:45:00] <bda> spike-: Email zfs-discuss@.
[15:45:10] <bda> You're much more likely to get someone who knows how to help you there.
[15:45:15] <spike-> heh i've had to do that before but didn't get much help
[15:45:19] <spike-> well not for days

[16:36:55] <spike--> hehehe
[16:36:59] <spike--> Any ideas pandarilho?
[16:37:18] *** tsoome has quit IRC
[16:38:00] <pandarilho> may be hard disk problems?
[16:38:07] <sactodave1> spike--: there is a file /etc/zfs/zpool.cache that you can remove and then reboot and see if ZFS find your pool and the disks it's suppose to be on. It seems that you moved the disks or had 3 die at once.
[16:39:15] <pandarilho> whow, 3 disks failures at once... you are a lucky guy ;-)
[16:39:24] <spike--> pandarilho: Not hdd problems, all disks are <1 month old, the array was scrubbed last night in os 106, but then i installed 109 and i can't get it to re-import
[16:39:29] <spike--> naw they didn't all fail at once
[16:39:36] <spike--> 1 disk failed and i replaced it with another and issued the replace command
[16:39:39] <spike--> then i added 2 more disks
[16:39:50] <spike--> and replace 2 existing (still working) disks with the 2 new disks
[16:39:57] *** christophsturm has quit IRC
[16:39:59] <spike--> then i removed the 2 old disks once the resilvering completed.
[16:40:06] <spike--> then i rebooted and scrubbed and all and everything was just find
[16:40:36] <asyd> you should ask on the zfs mailing list
[16:40:41] <spike--> well except for a completely unrelated reason opensolaris wouldn't boot fully, so i could only use safe mode, which is why the replacing never went away
[16:40:42] <spike--> i did
[16:40:49] <spike--> still awaiting moderator approval

[16:41:14] <spike--> asyd: yup, evidently it's a moderated list (makes sense)
[16:41:31] <spike--> hah
[16:41:49] <spike--> sactodave1: Thanks for the idea, but unfortunately /etc/zfs/zpool.cache doesn't exist?
[16:41:49] <asyd> hmm, I never saw a moderated list on opensolaris.org (but that may exists)
[16:42:17] <spike--> oh
[16:42:18] <spike--> shoot

[19:48:50] <meshuggah> it show me some line like it was booting, but it is very slow
[19:49:02] <meshuggah> do you think it is because i only have 256mb ram?
[19:49:12] <Auralis> its not enough ram
[19:49:20] <meshuggah> they say 512 min
[19:49:20] <eviljames> meshuggah: Either you're crazy or named after my favorite band. Either way 256 is not enough ram :D

[19:56:04] <meshuggah> and it never happened to me that siomething refused to run cause i didnt had enough ram, usually they only get really slow but run

[20:02:00] <airjump> good news atom but i search now google for a atom cpu in a pda
[20:02:02] <e^ipi> trichobezoar: the PPC team was working for 2 and a half years and managed to get as far as the cyclic backend in the kernel
[20:02:12] <airjump> netbook i found many docs
[20:02:13] <e^ipi> didn't even fork() a shell properly
[20:02:33] <timsf> Not true - I ran 2.6 dev bits on an old IBM ppc
[20:02:45] <timsf> but that was Solaris, and a long time ago
[20:02:58] <timsf> there's the System Z port as well
[20:03:19] <codestr0m> e^ipi: why is it so unportable.. do you have specific examples?
[20:03:47] <morpholo> e^ipi: does that mean that it's still too early to run ON in production environments?
[20:03:47] <e^ipi> codestr0m: the PPC community pages
[20:03:48] <codestr0m> there's not *that* much asm in onnv-gate
[20:03:59] <e^ipi> no, there are a lot of assumptions though
[20:04:13] <e^ipi> if it were just asm, it'd be simple
[20:04:20] <e^ipi> SPARC isn't that much different from PPC
[20:04:37] <e^ipi> you could probably even write a SPARC -> PPC translation script/compiler

[20:10:12] <airjump> thanks for help i found a pda / phone with ATOM CPU i will read the tech-specs and hope the wlan chip run with os
[20:10:37] <e^ipi> it'll probably be nontrivial to fit it on there
[20:10:52] *** dunc__ has quit IRC
[20:10:54] <jbk> translating assembly wouldn't be too difficult, but that doesn't address the hardware aspects -- you don't just hook up a power supply to a cpu chip and have it do stuff
[20:11:18] <jbk> there's your memory controller, pci bridges, etc. etc. that all need drivers
[20:11:38] <CosmicDJ> well pci stuff is in sparc/x86 too, you could use them
[20:11:42] *** morpholo has quit IRC
[20:11:45] <airjump> yes but i don-t wont a pda with #wm
[20:12:04] <trichobezoar> that's a shame
[20:12:12] <jbk> CosmicDJ: no, i'm talking about manipulating the actual chips
[20:12:15] <jbk> thing of a scsi card
[20:12:32] <trichobezoar> so solaris doesnt have a layer to abstract this?
[20:12:34] <jbk> the sd driver sends the same commands regardless of the scsi card
[20:12:35] <CosmicDJ> yep, have one in my mind right now
[20:12:44] <e^ipi> trichobezoar: like i said... nonportable
[20:13:02] <jbk> but you still need a driver specific to that scsi card to take the scsi commands from the sd driver and get them onto the wire
[20:13:58] <jbk> trichobezoar: you're assuming every pci bridge has the same programming interface
[20:16:26] <trichobezoar> no, im assuming it's been abstracted at the right point
[20:16:28] <CosmicDJ> well, I still think that some hardware components are shared (i.e. you find them in x86,sparc,ppc) because they're mass-produces and thus cheap...

[20:25:01] *** Fullmoon has quit IRC
[20:25:09] <jbk> but for example, a lot of Sun's servers use a sun-designed PCI bridge ASIC
[20:25:45] <e^ipi> jbk: which, the ppc dev target?
[20:25:49] <jbk> yeah
[20:25:50] <CosmicDJ> mh sure, 10 years ago things were different... (very different)
[20:26:00] <e^ipi> some weird specific thing "opendev workstation"
[20:26:12] <e^ipi> which was PPC + BIOS for reasons of video cards
[20:27:07] <jbk> but the whole point, it's not just a matter of having a compiler spit out PPC machine language instead of sparc or x86
[20:27:09] <e^ipi> if i could convince my PS3 to boot anything other than games or linux i'd see about shoehorning it in
[20:28:12] <jbk> if it or MIPS ever revivies, I can take care of the disassembler piece pretty easily :)
[20:28:25] <e^ipi> seeing as how i don't understand linux's kexec that's unlikely
[20:28:40] <e^ipi> ( ps3 bootloader is linux, it kexec's more linux to boot it )
[20:28:45] <jbk> in fact, I could converge the sparc, mips, and ppc into a common framework due to simalarities

[21:55:47] <victori> does zfs do raid10 in software?
[21:56:04] <Auralis> zfs does everything in software, so yes
[21:56:19] <seanmcg> Tusk21, is the output of pkg authority '../release' or '../dev' ?
[21:56:59] <victori> Auralis: is that "raidz" ?
[21:57:01] *** bnitz has joined #opensolaris
[21:57:07] <Auralis> no
[21:58:01] <capaz> argh. Citrix ICAClient wants motif. :-(
[21:58:30] <Auralis> capaz: grab the motife pkgs from the standard solaris 10 media, or the SXCE
[21:59:10] <capaz> Auralis: thanks for the tip.
[21:59:12] <seanmcg> victori, raidz is akin to raid5 - but without the hole.
[21:59:15] <Tusk21> seanmcg: nope
[21:59:31] <victori> seanmcg: would that be ideal for a database setup? or stick to raid10?
[21:59:51] <Tusk21> yes
[21:59:57] <Tusk21> and /dev
[22:00:05] <seanmcg> victori, have a read on solarisinternals.com - the zfs section for some database + zfs tips.
[22:00:13] <victori> thanks
[22:01:05] <seanmcg> Tusk21, odd, the /dev has the latest.. b108 at the moment.
[22:01:07] *** tombhadAC has quit IRC
[22:01:44] <Tusk21> i did the refresh

[22:02:18] *** popcornPanic has quit IRC
[22:02:51] <seanmcg> Tusk21, can you pastebin the output from pkg authority ?
[22:02:51] <Tusk21> sure
[22:08:07]
<seanmcg> Ah, finally pastbin.ca loads. I see the issue (me thinks). Remove the Dev and change the opensolaris.org to be prefered and point it to http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
[22:08:21] <Tusk21> oh
[22:08:38] <Tusk21> lemme check
[22:09:16] <Tusk21> how do you change preferred by command line?
[22:09:53] <Tusk21> that graphic interface is way too slow :)
[22:10:20] <victori> anyone know how how to setup raid-10 in zfs?
[22:10:48] <Auralis> zpool create c0t0d0 c0t1d0 mirror c0t2d0 c0t3d0 for example
[22:11:05] <victori> Auralis: thanks
[22:11:39] <seanmcg> man pkg for info
[22:11:41] <Tusk21> ah ok you just set it back
[22:11:58] <Tusk21> yeah yeah i just thought it would add a new one
[22:12:38] <victori> Auralis: do you happen to know if you can convert a zfs mirror to raid10?
[22:13:28] <Auralis> not 100% positiv, look through the man page, the attach subcommand is what you are looking for
[22:13:40] <victori> Auralis: thanks for all the help

[22:27:59] <BillyBop> any help in making my choice would be appreciated
[22:28:19] <Auralis> define old
[22:28:25] <jmcp> is that a sun4u system you're talking about?
[22:28:32] <BillyBop> hum 500Mhz, no other information
[22:28:45] <jmcp> you don't even know what model it is?
[22:28:48] <BillyBop> it's a blade 100 workstation
[22:28:51] <jmcp> ah, ok
[22:28:54] <jmcp> that's sun4u
[22:28:59] <jmcp> which is the architecture
[22:29:04] <BillyBop> ok
[22:29:10] <jmcp> whenever I see "sparc64" I think "linux has been here"
[22:29:12] <jmcp> anyway
[22:29:23] <jmcp> Solaris Express Community Edition is what you need at this point in time
[22:29:24] <BillyBop> yes, and freebsd and openbsd ;)
[22:29:25] *** hsp has quit IRC
[22:29:26] <jmcp> aka SXCE
[22:29:46] <jmcp> you will be hamstrung, somewhat, by the IDE bus in the blade100
[22:29:54] <jmcp> and the motherboard limit on installable ram
[22:29:59] <BillyBop> hamstrung?
[22:30:01] <bda> Hamsterstrung.
[22:30:09] <BillyBop> I'm french , sorry, what does that mean?
[22:30:32] <jmcp> BillyBop: it's an English expression meaning "impeded"
[22:30:34] <bda> Restricted or crippled.
[22:30:37] <jmcp> that too
[22:30:42] <BillyBop> ok
[22:30:43] <jbk> limited
[22:30:45] <jbk> :)
[22:30:47] <jmcp> I'd run it headless and ssh into it as required
[22:30:53] <bda> Hamsterstrung is similar, only furrier.
[22:30:53] <jmcp> gnome will run *sloooooooowly* on it
[22:30:58] * jmcp snorts
[22:31:03] <bda> :)
[22:31:06] <BillyBop> but will I have a lot of difficulties to install SXCE?
[22:31:11] <jmcp> no
[22:31:22] *** syd`_ has joined #opensolaris
[22:31:24] <jmcp> I suggest using the text-mode installer rather than the gui installer
[22:31:31] <BillyBop> ok
[22:31:53] *** radsy has joined #opensolaris
[22:32:06] <BillyBop> it's for a server, so no GUI. what's the problem with the amount of RAM?
[22:32:08] <jmcp> BillyBop: the textmode installer also gives you the option of using ZFS for your root 'partition' --> choose that option
[22:32:17] * jmcp checks the limits
[22:32:41] <bda> BillyBop: ZFS loves RAM.
[22:32:47] <jmcp> max of 2Gb
[22:33:05] <jmcp> the cpu's cache (UltraSPARC-IIe) is also quite small
[22:33:16] <jmcp> ZFS loves address space, and then it loves ram
[22:33:25] <jmcp> so having 64bit CPU is an excellent start
[22:33:51] *** proberts_ has quit IRC
[22:33:51] <BillyBop> what's the best for me (1Gb of RAM), ZFS or not ZFS?
[22:33:52] <jmcp> then you should add up to 4 PC133 168pin 512Mb dimms -- but they need ECC
[22:33:56] <jmcp> ZFS
[22:34:10] <jmcp> just make sure you tune the ARC _down_
[22:34:17] <BillyBop> uh?
[22:34:31] <jmcp> ARC is part of the intelligence that ZFS has
[22:34:51] <bda> It shouldn't be that big of a deal.
[22:35:01] <bda> I've run GUI on 1GB zfsroot and it was ok.
[22:35:06] <bda> With no ARC pinning.
[22:35:16] <jmcp> bda: I bet you had more MHz than just 500
[22:35:19] <dguitar> BillyBop, I have a SunBlade 100, and OSOL would not install on it
[22:35:19] <jmcp> and more cpu l2 cache
[22:35:26] <jmcp> very good to read
[22:35:28] <bda> jmcp: haha, for sure. :)
[22:35:40] * bda shuts up. :)
[22:35:42] <jmcp> heh
[22:35:50] <Tusk21> seanmcg: could it be long to "create plan" on pkg install entire@xxxxxx
[22:35:50] *** rv- has joined #opensolaris
[22:35:52] <trygvis> yay, zfs corruption
[22:35:56] <jmcp> dguitar: OpenSolaris binary distro, or SXCE ?

[22:36:08] <dguitar> jmcp, Distro
[22:36:21] <jmcp> dguitar: then that's correct, OSOL doesn't install on sun4u _at this time_
[22:36:28] <jmcp> dguitar: I've already suggested SXCE instead
[22:36:40] <BillyBop> dguitar: you said that OSOL does not install on a blade 100?
[22:36:41] <jmcp> BillyBop: if you need to buy more ram for this box, look for part number 370-4151
[22:36:51] <dguitar> SXCE didn't install either
[22:36:52] <jmcp> BillyBop: there is a difference between OSOL binary distro and SXCE
[22:36:54] <BillyBop> jmcp: no money
[22:37:10] <jmcp> BillyBop: well, if you get some money, that's the part number you want to buy :)

[22:37:28] *** scoffin has joined #opensolaris
[22:37:35] <jmcp> dguitar: if you didn't 'really try' and didn't log bugs about it, why muddy the waters and spread FUD about it?
[22:38:00] <BillyBop> jmcp: would perhaps keep my money for some x86 config :)
[22:38:08] <jmcp> BillyBop: that might actually be more useful :)
[22:38:12] *** syd` has quit IRC
[22:38:14] <jmcp> anyways....
[22:38:38] <dguitar> jmcp, No fud.
[22:38:46] <seanmcg> Tusk21, I wouldn't do it that way, pkg image-update should be the way to go to upgrade.
[22:39:06] <BillyBop> does SUN still produce good processors ? (not a troll, I really don't know)
[22:39:09] <Tusk21> i'm following this way
[22:39:22] <jmcp> BillyBop: Sun is still designing and producing UltraSPARC processor
[22:39:23] <jmcp> s
[22:39:31] <bda> T2++
[22:39:45] <trichobezoar> verilog
[22:39:47] <Tusk21> installing entire SUNWipkg and SUNWinstall-libs before image-update
[22:39:55] <jmcp> BillyBop: and that's *GPLv2* free, as well
[22:40:07] <seanmcg> Tusk21, ya, its a good idea that actually..
[22:40:20] <BillyBop> ok, good philosophy
[22:40:31] <trichobezoar> that means all the code it runs becomes gpl too right? ;P
[22:40:40] * jmcp glares @ trichobezoar
[22:40:40] <seanmcg> Tusk21, I see the dev repo off pkg.o.o has b109 bits now...
[22:40:45] <jmcp> no, the FSF haven't tried that aspect
[22:40:59] <Tusk21> yeah i saw too in my catalog file
[22:41:10] <jmcp> BillyBop: any time somebody says "oh, why are you running a proprietary CPU architecture (sparc)?" I can say "it was never proprietary, it was always a publicly available standard. And now you can build your own if you want "
[22:41:22] <BillyBop> are there any electronics guru trying to improve the GPLed verilog ? :)
[22:41:28] <jmcp> dunno

[22:43:12] <Tusk21> ok normal to be long :D
[22:43:19] <seanmcg> Tusk21, it may be finding what needs and generating a list.. 'entire' as the name suggests can be rather large perhaps..
[22:43:32] <tsoome> BillyBop: man google really:D
[22:43:38] <Tusk21> yep yep i get it now
[22:44:24] <BillyBop> tsoome: still I've no friends, I prefer come in a channel ask real people :D
[22:44:51] <lenzi> I just boot from the cd osol-09-06-108-global-x86.iso, the cd boots, chooses the keyboard, (us) the language(us-english) and than stops in the login prompt, no graphical interface....
[22:45:19] <lenzi> if I boot from the 0811 cd it starts ok and I can install it on disk using the same machine.

[22:50:06] <lenzi> Yes. this verwsion 2008.11 works ok...
[22:50:10] <lenzi> in the same machine.
[22:50:15] <jmcp> so use the pkg command
[22:50:20] <jmcp> I think it's pkg image-update

[22:52:26] <Tusk21> what i'm using right now :D

The question is: when I am in the login prompt, what is the command to start the whole thing (the dbus, hal, and then gnome-session) the same way opensolaris 2008.11 does????

[23:03:05] <seanmcg> lenzi, for replication or install of so many machines you may want to look at the caiman project (network install).. and what jmcp says
[23:03:57] <lenzi> thank you... I have studying the "bulk" install of solaris that uses a "master" and than a small "slave" of about 120mb,
[23:04:31] *** magnon has joined #opensolaris
[23:04:47] <lenzi> but it is too slow... I am target in replicating the disk using a pen-drive boot, automate fdisk, zfs partigion, and than a tar via rsh.
[23:04:53] *** syd`_ has joined #opensolaris
[23:05:12] <Tusk21> jmcp: ok you just get all the disk and then logical parts using zfs
[23:05:20] <Tusk21> sounds good to me
[23:05:20] *** oenone has joined #opensolaris
[23:05:21] <lenzi> may be a boot using pxe
[23:05:35] <seanmcg> lenzi, one could possibly use the pen drive to boot off, and zfs send/zfs recieve to the target disk
[23:06:00] *** syamajala has quit IRC
[23:06:28] *** Cass has quit IRC
[23:06:59] <seanmcg> or boot of the network and zfs send / recieve from there too
[23:07:44] <lenzi> hummm... good idea... does zfs sends the whole zpool???? that will make things very easy... I think it is a question of fixing the initial grub only...

[23:07:48] <koobcam> hola all...
[23:08:05] *** Cass has joined #opensolaris
[23:08:09] <seanmcg> lenzi, i think you need a zpool to send to thought..
[23:08:39] <seanmcg> and zfs send, sends a snapshot.
[23:08:43] <koobcam> can someone point towards an easy way to programmatically (even if it's shell, i guess) grab the Solaris Zone information (for example, what 'prstat -Z' gives u)
[23:08:57] <koobcam> (id, nproc, swap, rss, memory, time, name)
[23:09:47] <lenzi> Ok... I will try to install a opensolaris 2008.11 in a machine, than make a pen-drive, boot the pen-drive in another, the pendrive installs the grub, make the zpool (the entire disk) and than a rsh command will bring the zpool to the new machine... what do you think?????
[23:10:06] <seanmcg> eg, zpool create rpool <disks>; (rsh $remote; zfs send $remote_zfs | zfs recieve rpool/ROOT/opensolaris) - or to that effect
[23:12:15] <seanmcg> timf uses zfs send/recieve when upgrading his little laptop, there may be some info on his blog: blogs.sun.com/timf
[23:12:17] <lenzi> good... what I have to do is build a master opensolaris with everything working.. I am having some problems in the Xorg that is for example some command is missing: xeyes, I have to build the entire libxine (with xine) and gstreamer with mplayer, mencoder, and ffmpeg...

[23:13:31] <seanmcg> <insert usual warning about legals issues around using mplayer ffmpeg etc>

[23:22:31] <lenzi> r (running multi 64bits cpu)...
[23:23:05] <Teltariat> seanmcg: the spec files are for IPS packages. For Solaris 10 proper without IPS, I would still have to use pkgmk, right?
[23:23:36] <lenzi> Do you have an better aproach for the thin client solution??? will be about 200 thin clients for each opensolaris server.
[23:23:39] <seanmcg> yes, for solaris 10 and older uses SRV4 packageing, so pkgmk there

[23:24:00] <seanmcg> lenzi, theres always sunray :)
[23:24:32] <Teltariat> seanmcg: are there any convenience tools that build on top of the pkg* tools that help make it easier to make SVR4 packages?
[23:24:55] <lenzi> I know... but here is too expensive... (it is marvelous... incredible ...) I can buy a thin client here for 200 dollars.... brand new....
[23:25:02] <Teltariat> seanmcg: also, where does one find or get access to the IPS Build Environment that knows how to work with spec files?
[23:25:05] <seanmcg> not that I know of, sorry. someone else here may though..
[23:25:41] <Teltariat> I have OpenSolaris on my laptop and would not mind spending time to build packages if the need arose
[23:26:32] <seanmcg> Teltariat, see opensolaris.org/os/project/jds for more on the jds cbd with spec files.

[23:27:20] <Teltariat> Thank you seanmcg
[23:27:40] <seanmcg> Teltariat, well with opensolaris the old package system isn't used, see o.o/os/project/pkg for the new way

[23:41:40] <dsch04> Hrm, my 2008.11 system won't boot
[23:42:26] <ry_laptop> heh
[23:42:35] <dsch04> I've turned off the graphical boot and can see it gets as far as "Hostname: hero" but there it seems to hang
[23:43:36] *** codestr0m has left #opensolaris
[23:43:52] <dsch04> Any ideas how to diagnose further?
[23:43:56] <CosmicDJ> I wouldn't call that "won't boot" ;)
[23:44:05] <dsch04> Heh
[23:44:11] <dsch04> What would you call it?
[23:44:19] <dsch04> won't complete startup?
[23:44:29] <CosmicDJ> hangs...
[23:44:36] <CosmicDJ> how long did you wait?

[23:48:52] <Deiu> I'm trying to build a network tool on opensolaris using libnet. During compilation I get the following error: Undefined symbol inet_ntop first referenced in file /usr/lib/libnet.so. Any ideas on how to solve this issue (there are more than one reference)
[23:49:27] <CosmicDJ> Deiu: man inet_ntop
[23:49:32] *** cwebber has joined #opensolaris
[23:49:44] <Deiu> If I try to check the man pages for the functions, it works. So I guess they are correctly installed. Also, libnet was installed using the package manager.
[23:49:59] <jmcp> add -lsocket -lnsl
[23:50:25] <CosmicDJ> thats right under "SYNOPSIS" in the manpage..
[23:50:47] <Deiu> Yeah, sorry.
[23:50:54] <Deiu> I feel like an idiot now.
[23:50:57] <Deiu> Thanks guys!
