[00:25:42] <kimc> i've built a machine to test comstar fibre channel
[00:25:48] <kimc> just got it working
[00:26:19] <e^ipi> nifty
[00:26:21] <e^ipi> blog about it
[00:26:27] <kimc> ok
[00:28:02] <kimc> after reading one of benr's blogs i located some older cards and a switch
[00:28:17] <kimc> put this together
[00:29:29] <kimc> running the ATTO benchmark it achieves some fast rates for 2gb fibre
[00:30:16] <kimc> i don't think 2gb fibre can do much more than ~200MB/sec
[00:32:45] <kimc> this is Emulex LP10000 cards on each end.. SXCE 110 and Windows 2003 R2 64-bit on the other end
[00:32:51] <jbk> that sounds about the right ballpark given protocol overhead
[00:33:07] <kimc> ah ok
[00:33:19] *** palowoda has quit IRC
[00:33:25] <jbk> i just divide by 10 to get a rough idea
[00:33:27] <jbk> instead of 8
[00:33:27] *** jtmuzix has quit IRC
[00:33:29] <kimc> right
[00:33:35] <jbk> since i figure overhead's gonna add a bit
[00:34:05] *** palowoda has joined #opensolaris
[00:35:11] <kimc> i'd like to do some test runs on OS X but it looks like Apple leaves some key pieces out
[00:36:32] <kimc> i've got an ATTO card with the latest version of the card driver and the 'configuration utility'
[00:37:07] <kimc> it can see COMSTAR on the other end

[00:44:43] <kimc> which version you installing?
[00:44:44] <SatManUK> zfs done, java done
[00:44:50] <C_Kode> heh I just installed opensolaris on my home computer, and it's grub pooped on my Ubuntu, but it stills sees my WinXP install
[00:45:29] <SatManUK> C_Kode: cant u just add the entry for ubuntu
[00:45:31] <trichobezoar> I have my triboot setup like this... I have opensolaris' grub active which chainloads ubuntu partition which has grub installed to load ubuntu, and os' grub also chainboots for osol
[00:45:37] <kimc> the gui install is known not to work on SXCE 110
[00:45:43] <SatManUK> kernel = /dev/boot/vmlinuz...
[00:45:56] <SatManUK> now you tell me !
[00:46:08] <C_Kode> yep.
[00:46:35] <trichobezoar> that way ubuntu manages its kernel and setup on its own, windows manages itself, and so does opensolaris. works great
[00:46:36] *** hajmabot is now known as hajma
[00:46:39] <kimc> sorry about that

[00:48:20] <kimc> yes
[00:48:21] <SatManUK> ok its been already more than 30 seconds
[00:48:39] <SatManUK> can we assume its crashed second time around?

[00:50:14] <SatManUK> what does PEBKAC mean?#
[00:50:43] <C_Kode> SatManUK, what are you installing it on?
[00:51:07] <niq> it assumes you're sitting in a chair
[00:51:18] * dsch04 waves at niq
[00:51:26] <SatManUK> Acer Aspire 5315
[00:51:30] * niq hides
[00:51:33] <dsch04> heh
[00:51:59] <dsch04> SatManUK: ever heard the expression "carbon-based issue" ?
[00:52:27] <kimc> the Acer should work
[00:52:28] <SatManUK> 10gb for solaris, 10gb for bsd, 10 gb for opensuse and 40gb for user data
[00:52:35] <SatManUK> 2gb linux swap
[00:52:46] <C_Kode> Solaris doesn't exactly have the same level of hardware support that bsd and Linux do.
[00:53:21] <nachox> solaris can be expected to work in most newish hardware these days imho
[00:53:33] <SatManUK> i thought based on the fact its based on SunOS and backed by Sun it would have had more
[00:53:51] <dsch04> Sure, if you run it on Sun hardware
[00:54:03] <C_Kode> SatManUK: Sun doesn't exactly make home computers.
[00:54:16] <SatManUK> i know
[00:54:50] <SatManUK> but why do they release the x86 version if not to maintain a presence in the Free Operating System world?
[00:55:09] <e^ipi> because they only stopped having an x86 release for 8 months or so
[00:55:13] <e^ipi> it's been around for a long time
[00:55:44] <e^ipi> and sun has a full line of opeteron and xeon based machines
[00:55:56] *** Disorganized has quit IRC
[00:56:04] <monsted> SatManUK: why would Sun care about running it on a laptop? their support for server-grade hardware is quite good.
[00:56:05] *** axisys has quit IRC
[00:56:07] *** Disorganized has joined #OpenSolaris
[00:56:12] <SatManUK> so are the continuing to develop the x86 version as in the 0906 release?
[00:56:18] <C_Kode> SatManUK: Lots of support for different hardware doesn't come from Sun just as all the hardware support for Linux doesn't just come from Redhat. It takes time.
[00:56:29] <SatManUK> i know
[00:56:34] *** BlueZeniX_ has quit IRC
[00:56:40] <e^ipi> SatManUK: x86 isn't going away any time soon
[00:56:41] <SatManUK> its from user development and an army of volunteers
[00:57:00] <e^ipi> doesn't makes sense to lock your software to your hardware
[00:57:18] <SatManUK> can opensolaris adapt linux based software such as madwifi or ath5k?
[00:57:26] <e^ipi> no
[00:57:36] <SatManUK> because of GPL?
[00:57:40] <e^ipi> driver interface is different on the one hand, and the GPL doesn't let you share on the other
[00:58:12] <SatManUK> do manufacturers offer support for solaris ie atheros?
[00:58:18] <e^ipi> some do
[00:58:25] <e^ipi> LSI i think has solaris drivers
[00:58:48] <e^ipi> consumer electronincs mfrs tend not to care about anything about windows, or grudgingly linux
[01:00:09] <SatManUK> i tried opensolaris last year and encountered some problems and the people in this channel were very off. There was a mentality of we don't want to deal with users, because users find bugs and bugs make work for us developpers
[01:00:26] <SatManUK> yes at least linux is getting some level of support now

[01:23:05] <Reiser> don't know
[01:23:36] <C_Kode> Do they just randomly change names of things? grub usually use /boot/grub/munu.lst and even Sun's site says this, but my install doesn't have it.
[01:23:44] <C_Kode> menu too
[01:23:49] <e^ipi> no, it's in /rpool since ZFS root
[01:23:59] <C_Kode> hell it doesn't even have grub.conf!
[01:24:02] <C_Kode> looking
[01:24:05] <e^ipi> no, it has menu.lst
[01:24:15] <C_Kode> thanks
[01:24:25] <e^ipi> /rpool was a way of getting around the fact that your clones might not live in the same sectors
[01:24:31] <e^ipi> so grub gets confused
[01:24:39] <jmcp> and no, there is no "randomly changing names of things" - any changes are done for specific, documented reasons

[01:29:14] <freetown> hello all, anybody know if insufficient ram will lead to a crash dump when importing a zfs pool with twenty or so filesystems and a total of tens of thousands of snapshots?
[01:29:30] <c00p> freetown: zfs is memory hungry :)
[01:29:53] <c00p> watch your swap usage
[01:29:55] <freetown> c00p, i assume that adding RAM will get around the problem?
[01:30:01] <c00p> if u start paging crazy u know :)
[01:31:00] <c00p> swap -l - see if that is filling up
[01:31:32] <c00p> freetown: The zfs mailing lists would answer your question - try searching their history as well :)
[01:32:04] <e^ipi> insuffcient ram and ZFS is a whole lot of painful anyhow
[01:33:36] <freetown> rats...if the import is successful...i am going to have to keep a tab on the number of snapshots.

[01:34:46] <C_Kode> Nope. I'm having trouble with fdisk. heh how do you list the drives and partitions with solaris's fdisk?
[01:35:31] <freetown> yippee...gone straight into the debugger...
[01:35:32] <e^ipi> for one, you don't use fdisk
[01:35:43] <C_Kode> what do you use?
[01:35:45] <e^ipi> iostat -EN to list disks, format(1M) for partitions
[01:35:46] <jmcp> C_Kode: iostat -En
[01:35:50] <jmcp> lowercase n
[01:35:58] <e^ipi> my bad, held shift key too long
[01:36:04] <jmcp> C_Kode: all that /usr/sbin/fdisk does is put a DOS-style primary partition on your disk
[01:36:20] <jmcp> within that primary "partition" you create a VTOC Volume Table Of Contents
[01:36:38] <jmcp> which you use /usr/sbin/format for
[01:36:41] <freetown> okay, i am new to solaris debugging...i have the kernel debugger running after a panic...what do i do? please
[01:36:48] <jmcp> freetown: $C
[01:36:59] <jmcp> to get the panic thread stack
[01:37:06] <jmcp> also, you want to check out the panic string
[01:37:08] <C_Kode> I can mount ext fs?
[01:37:23] <jmcp> C_Kode: nope, unless you pull in a module from the belenix distro
[01:37:40] <C_Kode> damn
[01:37:45] <freetown> jmcp, okay...
[01:38:37] <jmcp> freetown: then you can google for the panic string (if it's not too generic :>), and also elements from the stack trace

[01:50:11] <C_Kode> I have a question regarding that VTOC stuff. I was reading that the root partition can't have it and without it you can use the disk cache. So, if thats true and I have a server with two disks raided together, I can't use the disk cache?

[02:06:43] *** BlackCoffee has joined #opensolaris
[02:07:17] <Chipdancer> jmcp: definitely
[02:07:24] <BlackCoffee> hi there everyone,can anyone tell me if OpenSolaris has enough tools for java programming?do they come with the distro by default?
[02:07:43] <jmcp> BlackCoffee: one could be cynical and ask what more you need after ed and /usr/bin/javac....
[02:07:53] <jmcp> BlackCoffee: you can install NetBeans pretty easily
[02:08:03] <ipfw> BlackCoffee: not installed by default, but yes it has netbeans available, what more do you need ;)
[02:08:35] <BlackCoffee> oh...i guess that would be all.thing is my wife is a programmer,she's seriously thinking about leaving windows vista behind
[02:08:50] <ipfw> jmcp: I'm still trying to figure out why os2008.11 b109 runs fine for me, but b110 crashes and restarts my box as gnome starts to load the session
[02:08:55] <BlackCoffee> so she installed ubuntu,but couldn't get the java apps to work properly
[02:09:13] <piwi> i make my first steps with automated installer and i think i'm missing a step. both systems opensolaris 110. the system to install is booting from the server via pxe, i get the kernel boot message (SunOS Release 5.11 ..., copyright, license terms) and then following two lines Broadcom Gb Ethernet v1.02. at this point it stops for about 15 min now and i can't see any traffic nor other activity. any hints where to go?
[02:09:17] <BlackCoffee> so i figured."java is from sun ,so is solaris" bada bim bada boom
[02:09:24] <jmcp> ipfw: are you booting with -k on your kernel$ line ?
[02:09:36] <kitche> yeah sicne ubuntu uses openjdk which I believe does not work well with java apps on ubuntu
[02:09:55] <jmcp> piwi: I think you should ask on #pkg5 - that's where that dev team hangs out
[02:09:55] <BlackCoffee> so i'm guessing it's way easier to make netbeans run on a sun microsystems OS than on ubuntu
[02:10:06] <jmcp> BlackCoffee: well, ubuntu with Sun's JDK should be fine
[02:10:07] <piwi> jmcp: thanks, i'll try
[02:10:12] <ipfw> jmcp: now, should I be ?
[02:10:20] <jmcp> BlackCoffee: that said, *my* preference is that you use Openolaris :-)
[02:10:26] <jmcp> OpenSolaris, even
[02:10:26] <BlackCoffee> hehe
[02:10:42] <jmcp> ipfw: yes, that'll drop you to kmdb if a panic occurs
[02:10:55] <BlackCoffee> ok dudes,you've been real gents,thanks a lot

[02:11:05] <ipfw> jmcp: then I just need to learn what I'm doing in kmdb aye ;)
[02:11:10] *** BlackCoffee has quit IRC
[02:11:53] <ipfw> fact that she had issues getting her java stuff to work multi-platform scares me about her programming abilities ;)

[02:12:29] <svcadm> the fact that she's using java should scare you .... /me ducks
[02:12:30] <ipfw> jmcp: thanks, maybe I can at least learn what is at fault
[02:12:45] <ipfw> jmcp: right now I'm not even sure what to point my finger at
[02:12:50] <jmcp> svcadm: at minimum, it should help you get a stack trace and panic string, which you can search sunsolve and/or google for
[02:13:00] <jmcp> svcadm: yeah, run away troll ...
[02:13:06] <svcadm> LOL! ;P
[02:14:05] <ipfw> jmcp: quick question, I made a new user called umm "testuser" with the gnome user/group thing, but no homedir is created, I see that my sponix user has /export/home/sponix as a zfs volume, should I make a new volume /export/home/testuser for this user, and if so, how (let me guess, look at the zfsadmin howto) ?
[02:14:07] <jmcp> svcadm: always always choose the correct tool for the task at hand. Sometimes that's java, sometimes Python, C...
[02:14:27] *** j0nas has joined #opensolaris
[02:14:46] <jmcp> ipfw: new zfs dataset, not a new zvol.. just picky there. Ok, in my experience, you've always needed to manually create /export/home/$login and then kick autofs
[02:15:02] <svcadm> jmcp: oh I know ... there are a couple products that the developers had to use java with, and it was quite painful ... it clearly wasn't the right tool in our case.
[02:15:10] *** kohju is now known as KOHJU
[02:15:19] <svcadm> (the developers at work, that is)
[02:15:19] <e^ipi> and sometimes it's haskell. nobody's quite sure which job that it's the right tool for but damned if a bunch of trendy internet people aren't going to try to find it

[02:15:34] <jmcp> heh
[02:15:41] <svcadm> indeed
[02:15:57] <freetown> jmcp, you need to run beadm before a image-update on snv99?!
[02:16:11] <freetown> pkg does not handle that for you?
[02:16:26] <jbk> e^ipi: i thought that was ruby
[02:17:05] <jmcp> freetown: srsly, I dunno for sure cos I haven't gotten into pkg5 yet as much as I want
[02:17:14] <jmcp> freetown: I *think* you need to
[02:17:19] <freetown> jmcp, okay, no worries
[02:17:26] <jmcp> and then run pkg image-update -R newBE
[02:18:11] <freetown> ...i thought it would automatically create a new BE...

[02:20:47] <freetown> e^ipi, :D
[02:21:28] <ipfw> jmcp: that as easy as: pfexec zfs create rpool/export/home/testuser ?
[02:21:43] <jmcp> ipfw: if that's where your parent dataset is
[02:21:45] <jmcp> yeah
[02:22:06] <jmcp> and then pfexec svcadm restart autofs
[02:23:25] <freetown> hmm...still creating the plan...what a long fuse
[02:23:51] <jmcp> freetown: i think I read that it's a good idea to update your pkg utility first
[02:24:10] <freetown> pkg install SUNWipkg at 0 dot 5.11-0.99 check
[02:24:19] <jmcp> that's snv_99
[02:24:23] <jmcp> which you already have
[02:24:33] <freetown> it still installed stuff for me
[02:24:52] <jmcp> and I think you want to use the /dev repo, too
[02:25:04] <freetown> i can upgrade the pkg to somethign in newer releases before doing image-update?
[02:25:14] <jmcp> I'm pretty sure you can
[02:27:20] <freetown> ah well, just waiting for the fuse to burn all the way for now.
[02:28:10] <freetown> !pkg, what is the plan?
[02:28:30] <freetown> heh, i see what you mean e^ipi

[06:33:41] <jmcp> and yes, Sun does have offices in HK
[06:34:16] *** Zumu has quit IRC
[06:34:34] <jmcp> I'm still trying to figure out why oninoshiko keeps ranting about IPS, and thinks that's acceptable when he could be giving direct and probably useful feedback directly to the developers to whom he has been directed several times
[06:34:35] <freetown> jmcp, i don't care about offices. can i get sun to look into the zfs mount panic if i get the production support subscription?
[06:35:01] <jmcp> freetown: you asked whether we've got offices in HK, to which the answer is yes
[06:35:18] <freetown> full of sales chums?
[06:35:19] <jmcp> if you've got a support contract, you can get Sun support engineers to look at that problem
[06:35:47] <freetown> jmcp, okay. even on 'essential'?
[06:36:05] <jmcp> geez, how about you look at the Ts &Cs ffs
[06:36:06] <[lewellyn]> jmcp: the problem is that the developers have already said "we know of these concerns" and they're not being fixed fast enough for oninoshiko
[06:36:08] <codestr0m> jmcp: what's the difference between that and submitting a regular bug report.. don't sun engineers look at them anyway?
[06:36:24] <[lewellyn]> codestr0m: not via telephone
[06:36:38] <codestr0m> [lewellyn]: so you can call and they'll on the phone fix your bug?
[06:36:43] <jmcp> [lewellyn]: and so he still rants here, and pisses me off cos he's not doing anything to help himself
[06:37:04] <[lewellyn]> jmcp: exactly. if ips is vital to him and it doesn't meet his needs, he has the source. :P
[06:37:16] <jmcp> [lewellyn]: and still he rants and rants
[06:37:20] <codestr0m> [lewellyn]: I think the point is you can call and submit a bug or confirm a bug vs getting a fixed.. there's a big difference
[06:37:26] <oninoshiko> IPS is not vital to me, i dont particularly want it
[06:37:28] <jmcp> codestr0m: yes, Sun engineers do look at bug reports, but if you have a support contract you can log a call about it, where "call" == "via telephone"
[06:37:36] <jmcp> oninoshiko: so stop ranting about it
[06:37:58] <oninoshiko> jmcp: i can't avoid it and get a support package, THAT is the rant
[06:37:59] <[lewellyn]> oninoshiko: if you don't like ips, don't use it. it's not forced upon you
[06:38:08] <freetown> jmcp, that don't equal to come in, get a copy of the data, make a fix does it?
[06:38:16] <jmcp> freetown: no, it doesn't
[06:38:24] <jmcp> freetown: if you want that, you'll have to pay more
[06:38:36] <[lewellyn]> oninoshiko: have you tried purchasing yourself a support contract yet?
[06:38:45] <oninoshiko> [lewellyn]: YES
[06:38:55] <jmcp> oninoshiko: just via the web, or did you phone somebody too?
[06:38:55] <[lewellyn]> codestr0m: i don't know. i've not looked into opensolaris support contracts much yet
[06:39:31] <freetown> jmcp, so is it get a support contract or pay for one time support then or the latter does not exist
[06:39:32] <oninoshiko> it took me 2 days of being handed off from sales person to sales person to find anyone who knew anything
[06:39:37] *** fr4g-home has quit IRC
[06:39:39] <[lewellyn]> soon, i'm probably going to get a multi-product developer contract though
[06:39:46] <[lewellyn]> then i'll worry about the os itself
[06:39:58] <[lewellyn]> oninoshiko: that's not unusual for sun ;)
[06:40:11] <jmcp> freetown: so let me get this straight - you're complaining about an issue which as far as we can tell is fixed in a later release, and still you want somebody from Sun to analyze your crash dump and tell you to upgrade?
[06:40:14] <[lewellyn]> oninoshiko: you're in the usa?
[06:40:45] <[lewellyn]> jmcp: he wants to pay for the privilege ;)
[06:40:47] <oninoshiko> [lewellyn]: and all they could tell me was that SXCE is not supported, if i want support i have to go to Sol-10 or indiana
[06:40:57] <freetown> jmcp, no. i am still upgrading to 110. if that does not fix it....
[06:41:13] <oninoshiko> [lewellyn]: yes, I am
[06:41:15] <jmcp> freetown: so finish the upgrade to 110 already
[06:42:14] <freetown> jmcp, well i did not know i had to get dev repo as primary...i got 101b instead...not been following things. just asking for what might be ahead
[06:42:21] <[lewellyn]> oninoshiko: ok. monday i'll call, myself. if they're willing to support sxce for me, i will call bs on you and you will have to add all missing functionality to ips yourself ;)
[06:42:43] *** Fr4g-- has joined #opensolaris
[06:43:00] <oninoshiko> [lewellyn]: if you get someone who will commit to supporting SXCE, send me a phone number PLEASE
[06:43:36] <[lewellyn]> oninoshiko: i'm starting with 800-786-0404 and working from there
[06:44:25] <[lewellyn]> but, right now, i have to get some more linuxy stuff done. this kernel boots but won't mount its initrd :P

[06:45:23] <[lewellyn]> nachox: i'm not arguing. i'm just pointing out that ips isn't thrust upon those of us who don't need it ;)
[06:45:40] <[lewellyn]> oninoshiko: also, solaris 10 uses pkg* and is fully supported ;)
[06:46:09] <oninoshiko> I beleave I acnowlaged that, but it lacks features I'm useing
[06:46:35] <[lewellyn]> maybe U7 will get them in the next couple months?
[06:47:14] <oninoshiko> maybe, maybe not. That neither helps me now, nor nessicarily helps me then.

[07:10:12] <oninoshiko> Asad2005: because it is not aware that the drive has been removed. it starts trying to access it, it should fail out
[07:10:45] <Asad2005> you mean it needs some times to find out
[07:11:23] <oninoshiko> Anicdotally, yes.
[07:12:31] <Asad2005> How much time should i wait and does it have to do with failmode setting which is set to wait

[07:15:57] <oninoshiko> it shouldnt have to do with the failmode setting, that setting should only be applicable at all if enough devices fail to create a catostrophic pool failure.

[07:17:30] *** oxygen-addict has quit IRC
[07:17:32] <Asad2005> ok no if i pull a second disk it would still be ok as long as i can replug same disk same place is this right?
[07:17:38] <oninoshiko> Asad2005: I beleave it is based on accesses, my pools have always had frenquent enough accesses that it was detected quickly.
[07:17:42] <freetown> argh, argh, argh. the download is taking so long. drives me nuts....
[07:18:03] <oninoshiko> Asad2005: depends on your pool configuration
[07:18:14] <freetown> jmcp, what was it that was borken that was fixed with regard to the zfs mount panic i am having?
[07:18:23] <freetown> that you think was fixed
[07:18:46] <freetown> it drove me bananas when zpool status and zpool scrub all checked out
[07:19:02] <oninoshiko> if it's a triple-mirrors and raidz2 can both withstand a dual failure.
[07:19:26] <jmcp> freetown: gimme a sec
[07:22:59] <Asad2005> oninoshiko, I have created a file and now status showed it as removed. My configuration is raidz with 3 disks. So with this status if i remove the second then replug it after detection then replug it i will still be ok i think. es ?

[09:59:31] * timeless wonders if they ship any to this country (.fi)
[09:59:34] <freetown> that ralink a 802.11n card?
[09:59:36] <[lewellyn]> there's a ralink third-party driver; is your card not supported?
[10:00:35] <freetown> ralink rt2500 is supported...

[10:13:42] <mib_0hwhra> i have installed linux
[10:13:55] <mib_0hwhra> linux grub doesnt support opensolaris
[10:14:00] <freetown> hahahaha
[10:14:04] <mib_0hwhra> i have put entry in menu.lst
[10:14:08] <freetown> you mean it does not support zfs
[10:14:14] <mib_0hwhra> yes
[10:14:17] <mib_0hwhra> findroot
[10:14:22] <mib_0hwhra> is not there in linux grub
[10:14:31] <freetown> so install opensolaris grub
[10:14:34] <freetown> :D
[10:14:41] <mib_0hwhra> can anyone say how to install grub again in opensolaris
[10:14:48] <freetown> run livecd
[10:14:54] <e^ipi> tried "installgrub" ?
[10:14:55] <mib_0hwhra> and then
[10:15:08] <freetown> what e^ipi said
[10:15:17] <[lewellyn]> yes. plain grub isn't "smart" enough to deal with zfs
[10:15:25] <e^ipi> we submitted patches
[10:15:30] <[lewellyn]> of course, plain grub is "dead" and grub 2 isn't yet "stable" :P
[10:15:36] <mib_0hwhra> installgrub is enough
[10:15:36] <freetown> heh
[10:15:42] <e^ipi> GRUB didn't take them
[10:15:45] <e^ipi> "no new features"
[10:15:46] <mib_0hwhra> or i have to pass any argument?
[10:15:55] <e^ipi> mib_0hwhra: of course you do
[10:16:00] <e^ipi> the manual pages document how
[10:16:02] <freetown> or maybe they were really GNU
[10:16:06] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: yeah. old grub is dead. they want everyone to start using the not-yet-stable grub2
[10:16:28] <e^ipi> [lewellyn]: unstable would be fine... grub2 doesn't even work at all
[10:16:30] *** gaveen has joined #opensolaris
[10:16:44] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: i was being generous ;)
[10:16:53] <[lewellyn]> note the "dead" and "stable" in quotes ;)
[10:17:22] <[lewellyn]> honestly, i wish there was a better bootloader available than grub
[10:17:23] <timeless> devfsadm: driver failed to attach: rum
[10:17:23] <timeless> Warning: Driver (rum) successfully added to system but failed to attach
[10:17:24] <e^ipi> i could understand feature-freezing the old version if the new one worked but was a little buggy
[10:17:41] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: isn't grub an official fsf project?
[10:17:49] <e^ipi> maybe

[10:19:03] <timeless> wll, thanks

[10:19:06] <timeless> have a good week
[10:19:22] <freetown> rum work for you timeless ?
[10:19:23] <[lewellyn]> freetown: have a good one :)
[10:19:59] <[lewellyn]> is anyone aware of any other complaints that rms/fsf have against cddl aside from the patent stuff?
[10:20:13] <freetown> [lewellyn], well...i will just coming back to the zfs mount panic box again tomorrow...sigh
[10:20:22] <timeless> freetown: it installed and couldnt attach
[10:20:24] <[lewellyn]> freetown: well, maybe we can compare notes :)
[10:20:27] <timeless> so i assume that means it didn't like me
[10:20:29] <e^ipi> no, it's mostly just "we can't steal your stuff and relicense it like we do with BSD... *waah*"
[10:20:48] <monsted> [lewellyn]: i would expect rms to dislike CDDL just because it isn't GPL
[10:20:52] <[lewellyn]> freetown: mdb+zdb=yay :P
[10:20:56] <freetown> [lewellyn], eh? you've dealt with a zfs mount panic?
[10:21:05] <timeless> lewellyn: speaking of zdb
[10:21:13] <[lewellyn]> no. i did better to my rpool than that :D
[10:21:19] <timeless> once i go to the store, can you help me try to use zdb_ :)
[10:21:23] <[lewellyn]> zpool thinks all is well, but it's not :P
[10:21:37] <[lewellyn]> it's 0130 here. no zdb right now for me :P
[10:21:44] <timeless> heh
[10:21:51] <timeless> ?9hr then_
[10:22:00] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: the official statement is that it mentions software patents, so the license is incompatible. :P
[10:22:02] <freetown> [lewellyn], okay, i try tomorrow then
[10:22:23] <[lewellyn]> when i work with zdb depends on when i wake up, which depends on when i get sleep ;)
[10:22:36] <timeless> alright
[10:22:49] <timeless> if im aroudn and you're awake, 'll almost certainly need help
[10:22:59] <timeless> my zpool's wrappings were replaced by FAT32
[10:23:03] *** gerard13 has joined #opensolaris
[10:23:15] <timeless> and i'm praying i can find and rebuild the zpool bits and recover my data
[10:23:16] <timeless> :=
[10:23:36] <freetown> [lewellyn], sure...i have this zpool taht have cleared scrubbing but invokes a panic if gets mounted
[10:23:38] <[lewellyn]> timeless: heh. my zpool has holes, apparently :P
[10:23:51] <[lewellyn]> freetown: i'm afraid to scrub mine :(
[10:24:11] <[lewellyn]> the kernel hangs if i try to mount it, though
[10:24:11] <freetown> [lewellyn], ....so mine is better shape?
[10:24:22] <freetown> [lewellyn], oh
[10:24:24] <[lewellyn]> so i don't altroot it :P
[10:24:42] <freetown> [lewellyn], i thought you got it mounted and moved data off :-P
[10:24:42] <[lewellyn]> which means zdb till i figure out enough of what the hell's going on to fix it
[10:24:59] <[lewellyn]> freetown: can't get it mounted. zpool sees it and claims it's clean :P
[10:25:00] <timeless> lewellyn: holes sound like fun
[10:25:07] <timeless> but at least your zpool can be found
[10:25:12] <timeless> first i have to find muine
[10:25:30] <freetown> [lewellyn], yeah, mine says clean, passed a full scrub but no mounting allowed
[10:25:31] <timeless> (but seriously, you have my sympathies)
[10:25:53] *** mib_0hwhra has quit IRC
[10:25:57] <[lewellyn]> timeless: maybe once you get it to mount, all 3 of us will be in the same boat :)
[10:26:01] <psychicist> I'm getting a little bit scared reading about all the misfortunes you're all having with zfs
[10:26:14] <freetown> anyhows, i hope the upgrade to snv110 miraculously solves it
[10:26:30] <[lewellyn]> psychicist: zfs has edge conditions still :P
[10:26:34] <timeless> psychicist: i'm using OSX
[10:26:41] *** GNUix has joined #opensolaris
[10:26:42] <timeless> so it's not sun's fault
[10:26:42] <[lewellyn]> freetown: it's my rpool. can't do that yet :P
[10:26:56] <timeless> the zpools i have w/ solaris work fine and have for years
[10:27:02] <freetown> psychicist, i only got mine...after a blasted UPS knock the box out twice...but then maybe it would have happened on the next reboot...
[10:27:08] <[lewellyn]> and what i did is not documented to work with zfs, but it works with other filesystems :P
[10:27:20] <freetown> 2GB + tens of thousands of snapshots is not a good combination i gather
[10:27:20] <timeless> wtf did you do?
[10:27:32] *** yarihm has joined #opensolaris
[10:27:36] <timeless> freetown: 2gb? why bother?
[10:27:41] <[lewellyn]> timeless: me?
[10:27:56] <[lewellyn]> i block-level moved the filesystem up a few gigs on the disk ;)
[10:28:00] <timeless> i have hundreds of snapshots in about 350Gb
[10:28:00] <freetown> timeless, i had no idea the nubmer of snapshots was also tied to RAM
[10:28:25] <timeless> lewellyn: CLEVER
[10:28:37] <timeless> why?
[10:28:39] <[lewellyn]> and time slider filled my disk overnight when i had tried that, so i learnt quick about zfs's lack of low-disk-space sanity :P
[10:28:46] *** mib_aaom95 has joined #opensolaris
[10:28:58] <timeless> oh yeah, i hit that a year or so ago :)
[10:29:06] <e^ipi> psychicist: my first zpool, built about 3 years ago, is still running
[10:29:09] <timeless> but thankfully zpool add or whatever was nice
[10:29:09] <[lewellyn]> timeless: for whatever reason, the partition was created with about 20 gb slack space around it by the solaris 10 installer
[10:29:15] <freetown> [lewellyn], you are scaring me...that means i need a big disk for the system drive....
[10:29:23] <[lewellyn]> (i couldn't use sxce's as it crashed every time i tried to partition the disk)
[10:29:45] <timeless> anyway, i need to go shopping
[10:29:48] <timeless> have a good night
[10:29:54] <freetown> you too
[10:29:59] <mib_aaom95> hi no need to install installgrub
[10:30:05] <[lewellyn]> since i have 4 primary partitions, i really only had the option of moving the partition, then eventually learning how to properly grow it
[10:30:10] <[lewellyn]> sleep well, timeless
[10:30:15] <e^ipi> freetown: 20 gigs or so will do you
[10:30:19] <[lewellyn]> mib_aaom95: you made the solaris partition active? :)
[10:30:20] <mib_aaom95> rootnoverify is enough to getback the opensolaris grub
[10:30:24] <e^ipi> hardly "big" by any stretch of the imagination
[10:30:34] <mib_aaom95> if you specify rootnoverify
[10:30:42] <e^ipi> well, unless it's the 1980's

[10:30:55] <mib_aaom95> is enough out old grub is coming
[10:31:03] <[lewellyn]> mib_aaom95: just set the partition active and use only solaris grub :)
[10:31:12] <[lewellyn]> mib_aaom95: it will be saner for you :)
[10:31:15] <mib_aaom95> let me try
[10:31:24] <e^ipi> but since i'm not listening to joy division, it's not the 1980's
[10:31:32] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: btw, are the solaris grub patches readily available? i'm trying to come up with a grub patchset ;)
[10:31:49] <e^ipi> [lewellyn]: no, we don't keep patches
[10:31:59] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: then what did you submit? :P
[10:32:00] <freetown> man, maybe i should just copy my configs and install 2008.11 on the system drive and import the blasted pool and hope all goes well. this upgrade business is taking rather long.

[10:46:48] <wdp> i need it

[10:46:50] <wdp> hi
[10:46:57] <psychicist> I thought I was a self-confessed intel hater, it looks like there are more people thinking like that
[10:47:23] <wdp> dunno. is it a question about the architecture or about intel as company?
[10:47:27] <wdp> i prefer for example amd.
[10:47:34] <wdp> though the architecture is the same, or not? :)
[10:47:44] <[lewellyn]> psychicist: intel hasn't done anything wrong; they only can do what people will buy
[10:47:58] <[lewellyn]> and amd has to remain compatible to intel ;)
[10:47:58] <e^ipi> intel's a good company overall, their architecture just sucks
[10:48:10] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: blame ibm and microsoft, not intel
[10:48:15] <e^ipi> the peripheral stuff is decent
[10:48:17] <wdp> e^ipi, yep
[10:48:28] <e^ipi> e1000g and the intel chipsets and video chips are good
[10:48:34] <wdp> video? no

[10:48:37] <e^ipi> just x86 should've died 20 years ago
[10:48:38] <wdp> :-P
[10:48:42] <psychicist> mostly the architecture, but I'm not very fond of the company for my own reasons. that doesn't mean they're not doing a good job nowadays
[10:48:52] <e^ipi> the video's good... not performant, but stable and does the job
[10:48:54] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: intel TRIED killing x86 in the 80s :P

[10:50:50] <[lewellyn]> lblume: again, ibm and microsoft (thanks to os/2) tried to extend the 286 farther than the "build a bit on 186 to offer a migration path away" that intel wanted :P
[10:51:16] <[lewellyn]> i actually still like the 80186/8
[10:51:17] <Tempt> Amusing that slashdot run an article whining about memory reliability on x86.
[10:51:48] <[lewellyn]> the problem was that os/2 needed protected mode. x86 wasn't "made" for protected mode.

[10:52:38] <Tempt> The general whinge of wah wah my cheap RAM might not be perfect wah wah
[10:53:35] <[lewellyn]> yeah. buy good ram, and you don't have issues. that's (part of) why apple's ram is expensive; they have strict rules on what their machines accept
[10:53:36] <Tempt> And the hilarious bit about linux doesn't suffer from RAM failures.

[10:54:52] <Tempt> They dropped parity RAM .. a long time ago.
[10:54:58] <monsted> Tempt: the Mac Pro uses ECC
[10:54:59] <[lewellyn]> most of the time when i have to deal with an unstable mac, it's been upgraded with cheap ram which isn't JEDAC compliant
[10:55:11] <palowoda> Obama only uses ECC memory in his Blackberry and will fire any CEO that doesn't use ECC.
[10:55:16] <Tempt> monsted: It'd want to, for that price ;-)
[10:55:27] <[lewellyn]> "where'd you get this ram? i don't recognize any of the names on it..." "um. i think newegg. it was the cheapest"
[10:55:47] <Tempt> It doesn't actually cost that much to get brand name RAM, that's the funny bit.
[10:55:54] <monsted> kingston apple-ready sets aren't too bad
[10:56:16] <[lewellyn]> Tempt: especially if you buy direct from certain manufacturers :)
[10:57:15] <Tempt> Anyway, ECC RAM for all.
[10:57:16] *** e-jat has joined #opensolaris
[10:57:19] <Tempt> That'd be the sensible approach.
[10:57:31] <[lewellyn]> as hideous as omni technologies likes their site to be, their ram is awesome
[10:57:32] *** yarihm has quit IRC
[10:58:47] <[lewellyn]> i've gotten a few dells with omni ram (rebranded with dell logos, of course) in them. never have had a problem with either their ecc or non-ecc ram in any box.
[10:59:36] *** kim0 has joined #opensolaris
[11:00:35] <tsoome> few machines and your conclusion is its awesome?:P
[11:00:57] <Tempt> Hmm, what's in this machine?
[11:01:20] <palowoda> You get what you pay for.
[11:01:29] *** Chipdancer has quit IRC
[11:01:44] <Tempt> Mitsubishi, Infineon, Samsung
[11:02:41] <[lewellyn]> tsoome: i've only gotten a few machines with it stock
[11:03:08] <tsoome> you really cant draw conclusions based on few machines;)
[11:03:21] *** cypromis_ has joined #opensolaris
[11:03:37] <[lewellyn]> tsoome: i've probably only installed it in about 200 or 300 machines, so yes. i admit my sample is small
[11:04:11] <tsoome> only thing you *can* say is i have had no issues so far:D
[11:04:19] <[lewellyn]> but their ram's given me no issues, as opposed to generic "i got it from <cheapass internet vendor>"
[11:05:20] <tsoome> I have had no issues with memory as well, but as i see support requests, they still do exist:D
[11:05:31] <[lewellyn]> in any event, i hope that if i ever have an issue with their ram, their rma process is smoother than crucial's
[11:05:37] <[lewellyn]> i HATE doing crucial rmas :P
[11:06:03] <Tempt> Last I looked at their warranty/RMA policy, they required you to wear the shipping costs and use original packaging.
[11:06:07] <_setuid_H> Is here somebody familiar with sun java webserver 7 fn rewrite
[11:06:08] <Tempt> Great when it breaks three months later.
[11:06:13] <codestr0m> quick q.. onnv_112 03/30/2009 04/06/2009
[11:06:13] <[lewellyn]> i've gotten emails like "are you sure the ram is faulty? it boots on a test machine":P
[11:06:28] <codestr0m> does that mean the tag for 112 it cut today or on the 6th?
[11:06:47] <[lewellyn]> Tempt: i send back to crucial in better packaging than they use to ship their ram. :P
[11:07:21] <[lewellyn]> their packaging actually kind of sucks. even kingston's got better packaging :P

[11:08:58] *** JWheeler has joined #opensolaris
[11:10:17] <codestr0m> palowoda: because it lets me know if I can start packaging 112 on the 30th or have to wait a few more days.. right now I'm on 107 and I'd like to move asap so I don't waste some time fixing things already fixed
[11:10:38] <codestr0m> (may just save me work is all)

[11:11:52] <[lewellyn]> anyone here familiar with opensolaris's grub, intimately?
[11:12:20] <palowoda> codestr0m: I'd wait the few more days if you think the fixes are important.
[11:12:32] <[lewellyn]> i'm thinking of snarfing that and patching it instead of using "vanilla" and trying to make a zfs-changes-only patchset from what's on src
[11:13:06] *** cypromis_ is now known as cypromis
[11:13:13] <codestr0m> palowoda: it's a zfs performance regression.. and I'd like to start packaging 112 as soon as I can.. anyway.. I'll watch for the tag cut.. thanks
[11:13:22] *** kohju is now known as KOHJU
[11:13:26] <mib_aaom95> anyone knows about zfs-fuse
[11:13:42] <[lewellyn]> mib_aaom95: few people in here use linux, just fyi :)
[11:14:40] <codestr0m> mib_aaom95: I'd try to ping the author, but he's kinda busy or doesn't respond afaik
[11:14:50] <codestr0m> I was going to try to organize a gsoc project out of some new features in there, but got no reply
[11:15:32] <palowoda> zfs fuse is kind of a no reply issue to begin with.
[11:16:24] <[lewellyn]> hm. ok. it seems that the opensolaris has a few of the patches in the patchset i'm collecting. this is gonna be fun :P
[11:16:27] <mib_aaom95> I tried to compile to see opensolaris partiontion
[11:16:33] <mib_aaom95> but it is not working
[11:16:34] *** bahumbug has joined #opensolaris
[11:16:43] <mib_aaom95> need to try something on that
[11:18:23] <palowoda> Lot's of developers are patching opensolaris these days.
[11:19:17] <Tempt> lots of cyclists patching tyres, too.
[11:19:59] <palowoda> Heh, love the spelling tyres.
[11:20:11] <Tempt> Regional flavour
[11:20:30] <JWheeler> or put another way, it's spelt that way in most places outside the US isn't it?
[11:21:10] <[lewellyn]> does opensolaris's grub support PXE/TFTP? i'm not seeing that immediately

[15:35:34] <asyd> no.
[15:35:36] <CosmicDJ> C_Kode: 42
[15:37:32] <C_Kode> If I have a server with two drives mirrored. I cannot use the on board disk cache due to the root filesystem needing a partition and can't be labeled (Something VOL)? ie, my database can't use the disk cache?
[15:38:08] <C_Kode> because I don't have other drives to allocate the entire disk and have solaris label it whatever that is?
[15:38:39] <CosmicDJ> C_Kode: are you using the whole disk for opensolaris?
[15:38:56] <tsoome> rpool is in slice always
[15:38:58] <C_Kode> Well, the server
[15:39:04] <asyd> I think you misunderstand disk cache for zfs, and fs cache
[15:39:32] <C_Kode> Yes, I was reading about zfs and it said if you use a partition, then zfs can't label the entire disk and there for cannot use the drive on board cache.
[15:39:33] <CosmicDJ> tsoome: that doesn't matter, I had opensolaris on a scsi disk (whole disk) and write/readcache was enabled
[15:40:02] <CosmicDJ> C_Kode: is that a scsi disk? use the format command to check if caching is enabled
[15:40:06] *** klg1 has joined #opensolaris
[15:40:43] <C_Kode> CosmicDJ: Well, two servers have SATAII drives, the other two (primary DB servers) have 10K rpm SAS drives
[15:41:05] <C_Kode> They aren't running Solaris yet.
[15:41:23] <C_Kode> I'm looking at Solaris as an option for the benefits of zfs snapshots for backup.
[15:41:32] *** Guest75374 has quit IRC
[15:41:40] <C_Kode> Currently their running RHEL
[15:41:48] <C_Kode> Actually CentOS
[15:42:12] <C_Kode> but if I can't use their disk cache, heh thats probably not an option.
[15:42:40] <[lewellyn]> swap?
[15:42:43] <tsoome> snapshots are only a fraction
[15:43:12] <CosmicDJ> C_Kode: well, as I said, I did a testinstallio of 2008.11 a few month ago and the cache was enabled (checked "use whole disk" during installation"
[15:43:23] <CosmicDJ> s/"$/)/
[15:43:32] <trygvis> CosmicDJ: how do you check the cache?
[15:43:49] <C_Kode> snapshots are mostly all I need. They are already battery backedd raid1
[15:43:59] <CosmicDJ> trygvis: as I said, it was a scsi disk and you can check that with the format command (IIRC you need the -e flat)
[15:44:08] <CosmicDJ> s/flat/flag/ grmbl
[15:46:57] <CosmicDJ> but no idea how to check ata/sata...

[16:03:20] <SatManUK> hi, i started installing sxce on my laptop 14 hours ago, after 8 hours it had done 20% after 14 hours its done 42% why is it taking so long?
[16:04:05] <SatManUK> 1gb ram on a celeron 2.1ghz processor
[16:04:23] <throatwarbler> Did you do a ZFS root install ?
[16:05:04] <SatManUK> i think so
[16:05:53] <throatwarbler> 2 comments - the memory might be just a touch light for a ZFS root - but still.......... it wouldn't take that long. I don't have much more horsepower than that and I get them done in 30-40 minutes.
[16:06:01] <throatwarbler> So the real problem lies elsewhere.
[16:06:17] <throatwarbler> Did you do a graphical install ? Can you open a terminal while the installer is running ?
[16:06:28] <SatManUK> doing a text based install
[16:06:40] *** kenW_ has quit IRC
[16:06:43] <throatwarbler> In that case it is very hard to get in and find out what is happening.
[16:06:53] *** jp_sf has joined #opensolaris
[16:07:05] <SatManUK> throatwarbler: i tried 0811 that failed, i tried 0906 that failed
[16:07:18] <SatManUK> not im doing a sxce install its its taking hours!
[16:07:53] <throatwarbler> It shouldn't take hours. Even if the memory is too small, it would take twice as long - maybe 3x. But not this long.
[16:07:55] <jp_sf> Hello, is there a difference between ZFS in opensolaris and Solaris 10 ? (Am a little confused by different version available)
[16:08:20] <SatManUK> throatwarbler: i am gonna shut down this install and start again ok
[16:08:36] <SatManUK> can you tell me which options to use - as the graphical interface doesn't work at all
[16:08:48] *** stchang has left #opensolaris
[16:09:05] <jbk> jp_sf: opensolaris contains more recent zfs code, and probably more recent ondisk versions (I haven't compared, but likely)
[16:09:30] *** skmm has joined #opensolaris
[16:09:38] <throatwarbler> Is that why osol-2008.11 failed ?
[16:09:43] <SatManUK> if 0911 supports my wifi card will sxce? (i don't think 0811 did)
[16:10:07] <jp_sf> jbk: ah ok great thank you
[16:10:08] <throatwarbler> which WIFI ?
[16:10:09] <SatManUK> throatwarbler: i just did a live install of os0811
[16:10:12] <SatManUK> atheros
[16:10:28] <skmm> hile_, i installed osol b110, it seems to work correctly however the fan if my laptop is always running at the maximum speed :x
[16:11:28] <throatwarbler> The live CD booted but the install failed ?
[16:11:49] <SatManUK> yes
[16:12:08] <throatwarbler> Do you have any idea where the install failed ?
[16:13:56] <skmm> sorry i said "hile_" instead of "hi" tabulation error :p
[16:14:51] <SatManUK> 0906 installed, however it just took me to some error console and it wouldn't scan any network ports
[16:15:17] <throatwarbler> back to 0811 - did you check the md5sum of the download and again of the burned media ?
[16:15:17] <SatManUK> i tried various commands and aparantly something magor wasn't running that should be
[16:15:25] <SatManUK> yes it was perfect
[16:15:30] <SatManUK> 100% match

[16:19:55] *** hugohagogo has quit IRC
[16:20:11] *** ken has joined #opensolaris
[16:20:13] <SatManUK> 24 hours of install - probably have no hd left after that!
[16:20:20] <SatManUK> its been going 15 hours now
[16:20:33] *** ken is now known as kenW_
[16:20:46] <throatwarbler> I'd like to know what the iostats look like duing the install.
[16:21:51] <[lewellyn]> SatManUK: it shouldn't take anywhere near that long on real hardware
[16:21:58] <lblume> SatManUK: Maybe a bad media or bad drive, most probably some hardware related issue anyway. Try with other ones.
[16:21:58] <[lewellyn]> virtualization may be another story, though
[16:22:13] <SatManUK> its real on laptop
[16:22:28] <SatManUK> i will shut it down and reboot it - see what options to enter and see how long it takes
[16:22:34] <SatManUK> is 8gb+ of stuff normal?
[16:22:39] <[lewellyn]> SatManUK: my laptop takes nowhere *near* 15 hours to install ;)
[16:22:51] <[lewellyn]> yup
[16:22:57] <SatManUK> ok rebooting from dvd
[16:23:05] <SatManUK> lemme do this one step at a time please
[16:23:08] <[lewellyn]> allocate at least 20gb to a full sxce install, just to have "breathing room" :)
[16:23:17] <[lewellyn]> and boot with the text installer
[16:23:31] <SatManUK> ok i will redoo all my partitions from scratch
[16:23:34] <[lewellyn]> this is 110?
[16:23:48] <[lewellyn]> and is the hard disk only for solaris?
[16:23:52] <SatManUK> this is sxce
[16:24:01] <lblume> Graphical might be interesting to check if there are read errors.
[16:24:03] <SatManUK> i was planning to tri-boot it between solaris, bsd and linux
[16:24:08] <[lewellyn]> SatManUK: which sxce?
[16:24:16] <SatManUK> lblume: graphical crashes my pc
[16:24:30] <SatManUK> b110
[16:24:37] <[lewellyn]> lblume: no zfs unless he uses a text installer. which he can do under x if they fixed x ;)
[16:24:48] <[lewellyn]> x has been broken for a few builds now for installing
[16:25:06] <[lewellyn]> alanc would know the status. i think he said 111 to fix it though
[16:25:12] <lblume> Why no zfs without text?

[16:25:15] *** hugohagogo has joined #opensolaris
[16:25:31] *** kohju is now known as KOHJU
[16:25:41] <[lewellyn]> lblume: the sxce installer is the "old" solaris installer. just like you can't get a zfs root on solaris 10 with the gui installer
[16:25:45] <lblume> It can be the text install inside the GUI
[16:25:51] <[lewellyn]> i said that
[16:26:02] <[lewellyn]> [07:26:31] [lewellyn] | lblume: no zfs unless he uses a text installer. which he can do under x if they fixed x

[16:28:19] <timeless> lblume: is she critiquing it?
[16:28:40] <alanc> I don't know when it's getting text install - certainly not until after 2009.06
[16:28:42] <[lewellyn]> alanc: so the libs you had mentioned aren't being added?
[16:28:50] *** javatexan has joined #opensolaris

[16:29:29] <lblume> [lewellyn]: No, *I* am telling her it's not worth reading, not worth its own weight in paper, actually :-)
[16:29:30] <flyingparchment> what causes intermittent bursts of high sr, apo and apf, interspersed by 0 sr, apo and apf but high api?
[16:29:35] <SatManUK> throatwarbler: lblume [lewellyn] guys i select interactive text console
[16:29:35] <[lewellyn]> lblume: ?
[16:29:43] <alanc> we added the libs - the miniroot builder removes libdbus and puts it in the "gnome libraries to be unpacked only if you're running the SXDE installer" cpio archive, which never gets unpacked
[16:29:49] <[lewellyn]> SatManUK: that's what you should do :)
[16:29:52] <timeless> are WARNING: scsa1394: violates DDI scsi_pkt(9S) normal/expected?
[16:30:00] <alanc> and no one wants to touch the miniroot builder anymore

[16:30:32] <lblume> [lewellyn]: Was or timeless *sigh* .... Really time for bed.....
[16:30:34] <alanc> since Live Upgrade, text install & jumpstart all work, it's not a huge setback
[16:30:35] <[lewellyn]> alanc: no biggie. :) but since the osol 2008.11 cd that sun sent me doesn't boot, if i need a "recovery" x session, that leaves me only sxce 106 :)
[16:30:43] <timeless> lblume: me
[16:31:04] * [lewellyn] needs to make sure he has a half-dozen 106 isos backed up in various places, i think.
[16:31:04] <alanc> sparc gui install is fixed in 110
[16:31:23] <[lewellyn]> oh neat. too bad all my available sparcs are v100s :)

[16:31:59] <[lewellyn]> alanc: since you're around, and i can't find info online, is recent ati hardware supported and accelerated?
[16:32:11] <SatManUK> english
[16:32:23] <SatManUK> navigation information
[16:32:37] <[lewellyn]> like the radeon 3870 or x800?
[16:32:45] <alanc> supported, most of it is I think - not even a tiny whiff of 3D acceleration though
[16:32:45] *** ken has joined #opensolaris
[16:33:17] <[lewellyn]> but 2D acceleration? or does that rely on 3D acceleration on those cards? :P
[16:33:39] <alanc> I think there's some 2D acceleration, but I don't really know
[16:33:50] <[lewellyn]> mmk. fair enough, thanks :)
[16:34:05] <SatManUK> networked yes or no (via wireless)
[16:34:14] <[lewellyn]> alanc: one of these days, i need to have a lunch delivered for you or something as a thank you for all your help for my endless questioning :)
[16:34:29] <timeless> lewellyn: so,... can you walk me through fighting my phantom disk? :)
[16:34:34] * timeless hopes lewellyn slept
[16:34:37] <alanc> the kernel DRI/DRM isn't there for those cards, so anything taht needs that won't be accelerated - 3D definitely does, I don't know what, if any, of 2D does

[16:37:08] * timeless wonders if there's a tutorial for understanding firewire
[16:37:18] <[lewellyn]> define "understanding"?
[16:37:30] <timeless> lewellyn: well, first step for me is to figure out if my device has a name, and what it is :)
[16:38:03] <timeless> so far i got an error (scsa1394 violates DDI scsi_pkt(9S))
[16:38:15] <timeless> which i presume means that my firewire disk was found and unhappy
[16:38:26] <timeless> but i don't know where it is in /dev or /devices :)

[16:42:57] <lblume> And the devfsadm -v ?
[16:43:10] <SatManUK> all down to you guys.. standard or flash install? I guess standard?
[16:44:05] <lblume> standard, flash is from a flash archive, you probably don't have that.
[16:44:21] <timeless> it killed two usb hid's, and then said..
[16:44:59] <timeless> SUNW_port_link: port monitor ttymon0 added; SUNW_port_link: /dev/term/0 added to scadm
[16:45:51] <lblume> Strange, but unrelated.
[16:45:56] <flyingparchment> so if you do one-fs-per-filesystem with zfs, the only way to export those filesystems to another system is with the automounter or nfsv4 referrals, right?

[17:23:35] <[lewellyn]> SatManUK: um no. you want to keep at least 5-10 gigs free
[17:23:39] <[lewellyn]> you REALLY want to
[17:23:48] <SatManUK> ok I will delete the others and start from scratch
[17:23:49] <[lewellyn]> *especially* with zfs
[17:23:51] <timeless> hrm, and i can't kill the format process
[17:24:13] <[lewellyn]> (never let your zfs fill to the brim. bad things happen :P )
[17:24:30] <timeless> brim, don't let it get 90% full :)
[17:25:29] <SatManUK> 20 gig given
[17:25:48] <SatManUK> done it with ext3 and its a reinstall job
[17:25:57] <SatManUK> rpool name? rpool?
[17:26:04] *** tsoome has joined #opensolaris
[17:26:15] <[lewellyn]> use rpool, stay sane
[17:26:30] <[lewellyn]> you can pretty much just take defaults with sxce ;)
[17:26:39] <SatManUK> dataset snv_110
[17:27:13] *** axisys has joined #opensolaris
[17:27:19] <SatManUK> size 20458 size, swap 512 dumb 1014
[17:27:41] <SatManUK> is / and /var ok in the same dataset
[17:28:14] <tsoome> yes, but depends on your environment
[17:28:27] <SatManUK> laptop
[17:28:34] <SatManUK> in a laptop its ok
[17:28:52] <SatManUK> on a commercial server logs would be located elsewhere maybe as they can get large i know that
[17:29:06] <tsoome> well, the hw doesnt matter, what matters is what do you do in os:D
[17:29:41] <SatManUK> so tsome do i keep /var with / or not :P yes / no
[17:29:43] <tsoome> do you need large mail/print spools, space for logs etc
[17:29:52] <SatManUK> nope
[17:30:14] <tsoome> you can keep, you can separate
[17:30:19] <SatManUK> dont really intend to print or mail from it
[17:30:28] <chrisg> er
[17:30:30] <chrisg> is it /.reconfigure
[17:30:36] <chrisg> the file you touch to force a reconfigure boot?
[17:30:52] *** geppy has joined #opensolaris
[17:31:08] <tsoome> with separate datasets you have a chance to have separate snapshots for them, rest is not that important anyhow
[17:31:23] <tsoome> without .
[17:31:29] <tsoome> just /reconfigure

[17:32:17] <chrisg> oh well
[17:32:19] <chrisg> mostly working fine (y)
[17:32:39] <geppy> Since ZFS is copy-on-write, I'm assuming that "undelete" is within the realm of possibility. However, I'm not sure that any such utility exists. Before I go about writing my own . . . does anyone know how to undelete things on ZFS? I'd rather not go back to my last snapshot.
[17:33:21] <tsoome> there is no undelete

[17:33:38] <SatManUK> why does it install french and german languages... what do i need them for?
[17:33:43] <tsoome> use trash or snapshot
[17:33:49] <geppy> Why not? It's tiny.
[17:34:00] <geppy> Yeah, turns out those aren't actually retroactive solutions.

[17:36:40] <asyd> huhu
[17:36:42] <Leal> Hello.
[17:36:43] <geppy> [lewellyn]: Can you point me to them?
[17:36:48] * asyd offers beers to the room
[17:36:52] <asyd> that's constructive.
[17:37:00] <tsoome> snapshots are made exactly for that reason.....
[17:37:03] <geppy> Tempt: Your being a jackass doesn't really help anyone.
[17:37:07] <bda> geppy: If you have a snapshot, set snapdir=visible on the parent filesystem and go get the files from pool/fs/.zfs/snapshot/...
[17:37:38] <C_Kode> So you can pull a single file from a snapshot?
[17:37:42] <tsoome> ofc
[17:37:43] <bda> Yes.
[17:37:45] <geppy> bda: I've made changes since the last snapshot. Will that help at all?
[17:37:48] <C_Kode> Nice
[17:38:00] <bda> geppy: Not unless you took an intermediate snapshot, no.
[17:38:05] <tsoome> check out timeslider
[17:38:15] <spiff_> RandalSchwartz: you're the learning perl guy? read your book ages ago. Great stuff!
[17:38:26] <asyd> C_Kode: you should read/try a bit before asking questions..
[17:38:48] <geppy> Can people stop suggesting snapshots? That is a completely fucking worthless response. I deleted a file and need it back. Adding more snapshots now won't help.
[17:38:53] <[lewellyn]> i read his book back in the dark ages when i still wrote perl for money ;)
[17:39:05] <geppy> [lewellyn]: Can you link me to those docs you mentioned?
[17:39:07] <[lewellyn]> geppy: sadly, i don't have the links handy
[17:39:14] <geppy> [lewellyn]: Any idea where they were?
[17:39:18] <[lewellyn]> google and sun.com will be your best bets. maybe opensolaris.org
[17:39:34] <geppy> Yeah, I'm looking on google and opensolaris.org. No luck thus far.
[17:39:42] <Tempt> Be ready to slop through your entire raw device hunting for it.
[17:39:57] <asyd> geppy: so, use you backups. Or read a *lot* about zfs, but good luck
[17:39:58] <tsoome> geppy..... if you have removed file and have no snapshot or saved detailed data from on disk file system, you are screwed
[17:39:59] * geppy /ignores tempt
[17:40:00] <[lewellyn]> Tempt: that's about the gist of it
[17:40:05] <asyd> is that a big file?
[17:40:08] <[lewellyn]> geppy: i can tell you that it's a lot of work using zdb
[17:40:09] <tsoome> unless you have backup...
[17:40:09] * geppy /ignores tsoome
[17:40:16] <asyd> /kick geppy
[17:40:18] <[lewellyn]> that's all i remember. i came across it a week or so ago
[17:40:23] <geppy> [lewellyn]: That doesn't bother me. Thanks!
[17:40:37] <tsoome> there is no undelete for multi user file systems
[17:40:42] <[lewellyn]> let me tell you that zdb is not easy to use
[17:40:56] <geppy> [lewellyn]: haha, that's okay. :)
[17:41:05] <tsoome> zdb is useless if you dont have file pointer ...
[17:41:21] <tsoome> and thet pointer got lost with file...
[17:41:26] <geppy> Seriously, what the fuck? This channel is worthless. One helpful person and five flamers.
[17:41:26] <Tempt> tsoome: There's taking an image and desperately searching for your data.
[17:41:27] <[lewellyn]> tsoome: pretty much
[17:41:31] <asyd> I like people complaining about lack of help, but who dosn't answer to questions
[17:41:43] <Tempt> tsoome: I've got some tools for UFS like that, but they're years old.
[17:41:44] <[lewellyn]> geppy: i'm just telling you the only possible way. epect to spend 50 or 60 hours looking for that file.
[17:42:07] <tsoome> ufs is simpler but only a bit
[17:42:22] <tsoome> because there are pre-allocated inode tables
[17:42:35] <Tempt> It's still a big crawl.
[17:42:40] <tsoome> but once data blocks are overwritten....
[17:42:45] <Tempt> I gave it a test case on a 4GB volume and it took hours

[17:44:26] <bda> Indeed.
[17:44:49] <tsoome> i just dont really get why people dont wanna use backup/snapshots, but are willing to invest "undelete tools" .....
[17:44:57] <Tempt> PC users
[17:45:00] <Tempt> used to Windows
[17:45:02] <asyd> because snapshots take too many space! huhu
[17:45:05] <Tempt> plenty of profit selling undelete tools.
[17:45:11] <Dorfo> anyone here have tested ndis-1.2.2 over the current build? (110)?
[17:45:14] <dizko> i even disable recycle bin when i use windows
[17:45:18] <tsoome> you are quite screwed in windows as well
[17:45:19] <dizko> just dont fuck up!
[17:45:23] <Tempt> It's a cultural thing.
[17:45:42] <[lewellyn]> dizko: i did that for a while. windows seems to dislike it, upon occasion, however :P
[17:45:51] <Tempt> To be fair, I used a magic undelete tool to rescue someone's formatted drive last year
[17:46:04] <asyd> now playing: BattleStar Galactica - Main title <3
[17:46:09] <Tempt> ran for 11 days and eventually got 90% of files back, mostly sans filenames.
[17:46:37] <dizko> i fucked up my partition table and guessed the cylinder boundaries correctly and got it back =)
[17:47:00] <Tempt> heh
[17:47:14] <tsoome> dizko: thats quite easy thing to do:D
[17:47:19] <Tempt> That's why VTOCs go into build documentation.

[18:28:07] *** hajma has quit IRC
[18:28:24] <tough> Hi
[18:28:27] <ikarius> the mcp55 chipset is interesting, it has per-CPU memory slots- 4 CPUs, 4 separate sets of dimm sockets
[18:28:38] <tough> How to come to know whether dvd is mounted or not
[18:28:50] <flyingparchment> i thought all SMP systems (AMD at least) divided memory slots between CPUs
[18:29:16] <ikarius> flyingparchment: fair enough- mcp55 is an AMD chipset.
[18:29:23] <Asad2005_> where does opensolaris stores the pkg repositories? can i add more ? i am trying to locate liferea news reader
[18:29:42] <flyingparchment> ikarius: it's slightly annoying because if you have 4 sockets, and 2 CPUs, you can only use half the memory
[18:29:49] <flyingparchment> but i understand it's more efficient than intel's shared bus...
[18:30:26] *** mega has joined #opensolaris
[18:30:27] <ikarius> flyingparchment: well, it's not performing at the rate of my intel systems. 300 mb/sec IO to/from ramdisks on the AMD system, versus 600 mb/sec on intel systems

[18:30:52] <flyingparchment> (is this pci or pcie? or sata?)
[18:30:55] <ikarius> any ideas of bits I might look at tweaking to improve the IO?
[18:31:06] <ikarius> this is ramdisk... not disk
[18:31:08] <Zikla> use "pkg authority" to list repositories, and "pkg set-authority" to add them. See man page for details.
[18:31:09] <flyingparchment> i know
[18:31:14] <flyingparchment> is the ramdisk's interface pci, pcie or sata?
[18:31:30] <flyingparchment> oh, you mean OS-level ramdisk, not hardware
[18:31:38] <ikarius> flyingparchment- yes
[18:31:59] <Zikla> Hey Rio ^^
[18:32:01] <Zikla> Wrong window
[18:32:22] <ikarius> even creating two separate ramdisks, trying IO on each of them simultaneously, I get 150 mb/sec on each

[18:38:30] <ikarius> I'm wonder if I should install SXCE b110 instead of osol 2008.11 on it
[18:38:38] <ikarius> s/I'm/I/
[18:38:46] <oninoshik1> unlink is the command of the devil?
[18:38:56] <prav33n> My emacs fonts (running over SSH X forwarding) on OpenSolaris 2009.NEXT client is messed up since updating to snv_110
[18:39:02] <prav33n> Does anyone have similar issues?

[18:54:13] <trochej> Coffee

[18:55:12] <e^ipi> java's not bad in general though... startup takes a while
[18:55:38] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: it's too bad you can't run the jvm as a kernel module ;)

[19:05:09] <e^ipi> [lewellyn]: toss some cardamom in the filter
[19:05:50] <ball> Does VirtualBox need AMD-V or Intel VT?
[19:05:59] <Stric> no
[19:06:18] <ball> Perhaps I'll buy me a Celeron or a Sempron then.
[19:06:18] <Stric> unless you're doing 64bit on 32bit or somesuch
[19:06:33] <ball> Stric: what about 32-bit on 64-bit ?
[19:06:42] <Stric> dunno. rtfm :)
[19:06:48] <ball> fair point.
[19:06:58] *** myrkraverk`` has joined #opensolaris
[19:07:06] <Stric> But 32-on-32 doesn't need vt, but can use if you want to
[19:07:24] <flyingparchment> you need VT to virtualise OS/2
[19:07:39] <ball> flyingparchment: I don't run OS/2 ;-)
[19:07:40] <flyingparchment> i don't think you can virtualise 64-bit on 32-bit even with it, can you?

[19:09:15] <Ayatolla> [lewellyn] i'm connected now via serial 10101 and the only output i can see is netsc_ipgateway 143.237.15.11, whats that?

[19:11:18] <trochej> Yeah
[19:11:19] <trochej> TRue
[19:11:22] <[lewellyn]> flyingparchment: you can virtualize os/2 with vpc on windows. why can't you do it with vbox on solaris? o_O
[19:11:24] <trochej> It could get some coffe
[19:11:29] <[lewellyn]> (without VT)
[19:11:30] <dewd> Hi what should be done to replace an disk in an raidz pool ?
[19:11:32] <flyingparchment> [lewellyn]: you can, using VT
[19:11:37] <flyingparchment> i don't know why it's required
[19:11:42] <dewd> I've pulled the drive, put in an new one
[19:11:48] <dewd> configured with cfgadm
[19:11:57] <[lewellyn]> flyingparchment: that's one reason i boot windows :P
[19:12:12] <dewd> then zpool replace pool c0t0d0 c0t0d0
[19:12:21] <dewd> now all z* commands hang
[19:12:26] <nickb110> any ideas? kstat_create.....namespace violation error...whats it mean on boot after jumpstart?
[19:12:50] <dewd> is there anything I can do to diagnose the problem there is no error logged
[19:12:52] <ball> [lewellyn]: it's probably four times what I have now :-)
[19:12:56] <dewd> machine still online
[19:13:37] <dewd> shouldn't that just work ?
[19:13:43] <ball> [lewellyn]: It would be a huge step forward for me, but I could get a better chip for probably less than US$ 50 extra
[19:13:51] <ball> Sadly I'm very, very broke.
[19:14:03] <[lewellyn]> ball: i'm looking to replace my celeron desperately, for day-to-day use :P
[19:14:20] <ball> [lewellyn]: Netburst or Core?
[19:14:36] <[lewellyn]> the difference between a celeron and an equally-performant, more capable chip is very small when it comes to price
[19:14:50] <[lewellyn]> ball: lemme grab the sSpec # again :)
[19:14:56] <ball> brb, need H2O
[19:15:42] <C_Kode> If your zfs pool takes up all of your disk space, you can still do snapshots correct? (as long the space isn't consumed with file data)
[19:16:08] <C_Kode> ie not like lvm where you have to have vg space that isn't used by a actual filesystem
[19:16:12] <postwait> correct
[19:16:20] <C_Kode> Thanks

[19:20:02] <ball> If I can build a machine with a modern processor and a few Gbytes of RAM, I'll get to try Solaris
[19:20:11] <ball> ...and perhaps OpenSolaris
[19:20:55] <cmihai> You could probably get a real SPARC with a few modern processors and a few more GB of RAM.. and a couple of SCSI disks for around $500

[19:21:45] <ball> (the 2 Gbyte RAM thing)

[19:22:03] <ball> [lewellyn]: I don't run Windows on my own machines.
[19:22:05] <Stric> celeron isn't really a top chip ;)
[19:22:06] <CosmicDJ> cmihai SMP sparc for 500$ ? I've seen v120's for 800EUR...
[19:22:14] <[lewellyn]> ball: i keep claiming BS. but apparently that's why my bios limits me to 2gb. the cpu supports 2gb, the chipset 3gb.
[19:22:35] <[lewellyn]> CosmicDJ: i get my v100s for < US$100...
[19:22:45] <ball> Probably not true for today's Celerons

[20:06:54] <PinkFreud> VT, iirc, requires bios support. if the board is cheap, then it might lack support, even if the cpu has it.

[20:08:22] <[lewellyn]> celeries don't, notably

[20:17:09] <[lewellyn]> the tualatin was a great chip
[20:17:15] <e^ipi> cmihai: or a dual core box
[20:17:23] <[lewellyn]> overclocked nice, and at stock speeds outperformed p4's of the era
[20:17:25] <cmihai> Yeah
[20:17:48] <e^ipi> obsd is a great OS, but quite slow and doesn't grok SMP
[20:17:51] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: i want multithreading and ram. that's all i ask :D
[20:17:52] <cmihai> Heh, with RAID-10 SCSI disks and 4GB or ECC RAM this thing outperforms most P4 desktops
[20:18:11] <cmihai> Yeah, I love OpenBSD mostly because it's so simple.
[20:18:21] <cmihai> I really can't do much to fuck it up or need to dig to deep to grok it.
[20:18:36] <aramdune> I/O is so much important that CPU performance in most workloads.
[20:18:37] <cmihai> You know what's what and it works. Or doesn't work.
[20:18:45] <faxm0dem> d
[20:19:48] <DesiJat> funny..server folks underclock their CPUs, desktop folks overclock their CPUs

[20:22:51] <[lewellyn]> postwait: and i try to buy the right-sized cpu to start with ;)
[20:23:10] <e^ipi> [lewellyn]: if only they made the right-sized CPU still
[20:23:52] <e^ipi> or ever
[20:24:07] <e^ipi> an atom with VT and enough ram sockets for 8GB i would buy in a heartbeat
[20:24:20] <e^ipi> ( and a couple pcie sockets )
[20:24:25] <DesiJat> e^pi: amen.
[20:24:39] <e^ipi> for sas cards
[20:24:45] <postwait> [lewellyn], huh?
[20:24:56] <DesiJat> gimme a dual core Atom that can do 4GB of RAM
[20:25:02] <DesiJat> and at least I can have a nice home server
[20:25:05] <e^ipi> oh, that's easy
[20:25:10] <e^ipi> they make atom boards with 2 sockets
[20:25:13] <DesiJat> otherwise...it's Mac Mini time ... :(
[20:25:13] <e^ipi> ( ram sockets )
[20:25:26] <DesiJat> e^ipi: but i think the chipset can only address 2GB
[20:25:39] <DesiJat> and, the chipset running out by Intel takes up more power than the Atom CPU
[20:25:43] <e^ipi> i need 4 ram sockets, 2 pcie full-size slots, and one pci-e x1
[20:26:01] <DesiJat> Atom CPU itself is fine, but everything around it right now sucks
[20:26:10] <DesiJat> power supplies, chipset, etc.
[20:26:26] <psychicist> what about quad/octocore Atoms in the future, or is that not very likely?
[20:27:02] <DesiJat> technically, it is
[20:27:08] <DesiJat> but will Intel care to do it
[20:27:46] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: remember, i still buy surplus v100's. (hint to anyone sitting on any in the sf bay area!) they're right sized for my needs
[20:28:02] <[lewellyn]> sure, i wish i could drop a bit more ram in, and > 137GB HDDs.
[20:28:21] <[lewellyn]> but they serve many tasks quite admirably still, while being easy on the power budget
[20:28:44] <e^ipi> psychicist: what's the point?
[20:28:53] <e^ipi> you don't buy an atom because you want compute power
[20:28:57] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: for superprocessing netbooks!
[20:29:00] <e^ipi> you buy them because you want low-energy use
[20:29:04] <DesiJat> [lewellyn]: how much do u buy v100s for?
[20:29:06] <[lewellyn]> atoms are terrible for high-performance though
[20:29:10] <[lewellyn]> DesiJat: cheap ;)
[20:29:15] <[lewellyn]> depends on lots of factors
[20:29:18] <DesiJat> hrm...
[20:29:26] <psychicist> it would be a problem for solaris at this point in time, but I'm building linux for arm and mips platforms that will go quadcore and beyond within 3 years, so why not get both high core count and low power at the same time
[20:29:32] <spiff_> e^ipi: "compute power" vs. ability to do paralell processing
[20:29:32] <DesiJat> the reason i ask...T1000 with 6 core and 2GB RAM, from Sun, $600 range
[20:29:33] <[lewellyn]> i don't pay more than $50/box, ideally. unless it comes with full rails
[20:29:40] <DesiJat> oh.
[20:29:44] <DesiJat> niiiiiice :)
[20:29:53] <DesiJat> i had a Netra X1 back in the day
[20:29:55] <DesiJat> i loved that box
[20:29:58] <DesiJat> it was so cute
[20:30:02] <[lewellyn]> it's the big brother ;)
[20:30:17] <[lewellyn]> my main workhorse is a 650MHz
[20:30:40] <e^ipi> DesiJat: that's a fantastic price.
[20:30:46] <[lewellyn]> with 12 power states + the chip already being low-power, it's great oomph for the money
[20:30:50] <e^ipi> poke me if you still have it in may
[20:30:58] <DesiJat> e^ipi: 8 core with 16GB, T1000 for $975. THAT is a fantastic price
[20:31:06] <DesiJat> i dont have it
[20:31:11] <DesiJat> Sun Startup Essentials
[20:31:20] <[lewellyn]> hm. which cpu is the T1000 again?
[20:31:26] <e^ipi> T1
[20:31:37] <nachox> an ultrasparc T1
[20:31:38] <DesiJat> heh :)
[20:31:46] <DesiJat> it's like a V100
[20:31:50] <DesiJat> on some serious crack
[20:31:58] <nachox> for that price i thing it's a 6 core 1ghz
[20:32:08] <[lewellyn]> ah the T1 is not nice on power consumption, though :P
[20:32:14] <DesiJat> it is
[20:32:17] <DesiJat> relatively speaking
[20:32:19] <Stric> [lewellyn]: 70W or something
[20:32:20] <DesiJat> for a server
[20:32:20] <[lewellyn]> how many watts?
[20:32:21] <Stric> for the cpu
[20:32:30] <DesiJat> i think the cpu is less than 70W
[20:32:38] <[lewellyn]> so more than my v100s, by a bit ;)
[20:32:39] *** tombhadAC has joined #opensolaris
[20:32:47] <psychicist> thinking of that, how hard would it be to get hold of a T2 rdk?
[20:33:09] <Stric> "Typical processor power consumption of 72W" @ sun.com
[20:33:38] <Stric> 79W peak
[20:33:51] <Stric> T2 @ "< 95 watts nominal, 123 watts max "
[20:34:11] <[lewellyn]> vs my v100s...
[20:34:16] * [lewellyn] looks for that pdf again

[20:38:15] <[lewellyn]> thankee
[20:38:17] <[lewellyn]> 17.6 W (max) at 650 MHz, 1.7 V
[20:38:30] <[lewellyn]> and it drops to 1/8 consumption
[20:38:52] <psychicist> that's not bad, if you don't need the computing power of a modern machine
[20:38:55] <FireflyST> has anyone here seen "undefined symbol forkpty" errors while building Solaris programs?
[20:38:56] <kjetilho> postwait: ok, both with tape drives attached?
[20:39:12] <[lewellyn]> my cpu sits at no more than 25% activity most of the time
[20:39:14] <e^ipi> psychicist: i'm of the opinion that very few people need the computing power of a modern machine
[20:39:14] <flyingparchment> FireflyST: forkpty() is a function. solaris doesn't provide it
[20:39:23] <[lewellyn]> e^ipi: i'm of that strong opinion, too
[20:39:32] <FireflyST> is there a way to get around this?
[20:39:46] <DesiJat> [lewellyn]: pray tell
[20:39:47] <[lewellyn]> sure a few things take a couple seconds. but that's no reason to burn through excess money
[20:39:48] <flyingparchment> change the application to not use forkpty, or provide your own implementation
[20:39:59] <e^ipi> [lewellyn]: most people don't do those things though
[20:40:03] <flyingparchment> [lewellyn]: in a compile/edit/compile cycle, 'a couple seconds' adds up quickly
[20:40:04] <jbk> FireflyST: what are you trying to compile?
[20:40:07] <psychicist> e^ipi: I'm of that opinion as well, hence my involvement with low power x86/arm/mips
[20:40:15] <[lewellyn]> flyingparchment: that's not what most servers are used for
[20:40:42] <e^ipi> 90% of the people out there are gated by other things than CPU... the most CPU intensive thing most people do is rip a CD, in which case the CD is the limiting factor
[20:40:46] <flyingparchment> well, you were talking about ultra 5s, not just servers..
[20:40:49] <postwait> kjetilho, we have one drive attached on one machine
[20:40:50] <[lewellyn]> flyingparchment: v100
[20:40:57] <postwait> kjetilho, checking that setting now
[20:41:15] <DesiJat> [lewellyn]: colo in bay are? Got Info?
[20:41:17] <[lewellyn]> i specifically said my main workhorse is a 650MHz v100

[20:41:56] <[lewellyn]> i don't have any machines in colo right now. instead, we just keep buying bigger pipe on-site :P
[20:42:10] <flyingparchment> [lewellyn]: but the conversation isn't only about servers--e's example was CD ripping, which is hardly a server activity
[20:42:16] <[lewellyn]> i have clients with boxes at HE (and other facilities)
[20:42:27] <DesiJat> [lewellyn]: the 3rd party is charing $119 to place a singel machine at HE
[20:42:31] <DesiJat> 119/month
[20:42:37] <DesiJat> actually, they say "4u"
[20:42:41] * kjetilho wonders what's to blame... Bacula, the driver, or the tape drive.
[20:42:44] <DesiJat> but then only give u enough power for a 1U
[20:42:48] <[lewellyn]> for 4u, that's not outrageous
[20:43:00] <[lewellyn]> haha. that's usually the case. drop 4 v100s in there and do distributed computing :D
[20:43:07] <postwait> kjetilho, Bacula's got a long way to go yet.
[20:43:11] <kjetilho> Ayatolla: I mix the *LOM up, but it's either "start /SP/console" or simply "console"
[20:43:13] <[lewellyn]> "but i'm only using 350W!"
[20:43:15] <postwait> but it works okay for most of what we do.
[20:43:21] <DesiJat> the power they give is for a 1U
[20:43:26] <kjetilho> postwait: yeah, and the code base is kind of crufty
[20:44:09] *** infomomo has joined #opensolaris
[20:44:20] <DesiJat> [lewellyn]: 1Mbps pre-paid + 4U cabinet space + 240W = $119/month

[21:00:30] <[lewellyn]> anyhow, how well are the newish via chips supported by opensolaris?
[21:00:35] <DesiJat> i run MySQL and Xserves
[21:00:42] <DesiJat> and...i know not to run Xserves :)
[21:00:47] <postwait> DesiJat, me too.
[21:00:51] <postwait> DesiJat, me too
[21:01:20] <DesiJat> i'd say...i've run the largest Xserve datacenter in the world
[21:01:39] *** ahe has joined #opensolaris
[21:01:42] <postwait> DesiJat, we've transitioned almost all of our Xserves to backups (disk backups for Zetaback and Bacula)
[21:01:59] <DesiJat> they're nice in that they have 3 HD slots
[21:02:09] <DesiJat> altho..nowadays other servers have more
[21:02:10] *** ken1 has joined #opensolaris
[21:02:15] <postwait> Oh! I was talking XServe RAIDs.
[21:02:19] <FireflyST> jbk: I think this is beyond my knowledge to fix properly
[21:02:35] <DesiJat> yeah, i run Xserve RAIDs also
[21:02:45] <DesiJat> again, largest installation in the world
[21:02:47] <postwait> XServe RAIDs suck and most things.
[21:02:54] *** coffeetime has joined #opensolaris
[21:02:58] <postwait> Their design just simply blows.
[21:03:04] <DesiJat> if THAT is what ma.gnolia was running, GOD HELP THEM
[21:03:19] <DesiJat> they'd have been better off running internal HDs on a intel/opteron Sun box :/
[21:03:25] <postwait> I do'nt think so... they ran a lot of Mac minis
[21:03:35] <DesiJat> postwait: the database didnt run on a Mac Mini
[21:03:43] <DesiJat> at least that's what the magnolia guy is saying
[21:03:48] <jbk> i'd look where the error is to see if there's similar code (opening /dev/ptmx, etc.) and see if it's just #ifdef'ed out
[21:03:52] <C_Kode> We used to replicate a NetApp to an XServe RAID running OpenFiler :)
[21:04:01] *** nitrile_ has quit IRC
[21:04:01] <jbk> might just be a matter of passing the right incantation to get it to compile
[21:04:09] <DesiJat> C_Kode: just make sure it's not your primary storage :/
[21:04:13] <postwait> C_Kode, could you do that with snapmirror? or was it just a copy?
[21:04:14] *** yarihm has quit IRC
[21:04:14] <DesiJat> <-- is sooo gonna get fired :/
[21:04:19] <C_Kode> it was a lot cheaper than replicating to a second netapp
[21:04:54] <DesiJat> but eh, Apple doesnt make Xserve Raid anymore, so i can bad talk it ;)

[21:05:54] <C_Kode> postwait: I'm not sure, it wasn't my baby to manage/setup. I was managing the web server farms
[21:05:56] <[lewellyn]> DesiJat: i keep thinking hosting.com may be worth dropping a box at to see how well they stack up, btw
[21:06:07] <[lewellyn]> but then i realize that their homepage only looks right in gecko
[21:06:31] <[lewellyn]> you'd think a facility would test in IE and Safari, as well, at the least.
[21:06:41] <[lewellyn]> hell. at least ie
[21:07:55] <DesiJat> i sent them an email/form
[21:08:01] <DesiJat> btu yeah, their homepage is all sorts of messed up
[21:08:07] <DesiJat> even the form was all sorts of messed up :/
[21:08:15] <DesiJat> this $119/month guy..i've had that before for 1 year
[21:08:18] <DesiJat> and i never had a complain
[21:08:19] <postwait> We host our ops team's boxes for free though :-)
[21:08:20] <DesiJat> t
[21:08:49] <DesiJat> tho back then, it was $99/month
[21:10:04] <DesiJat> I got an Amazon EC2 instance in the meantime ...
[21:10:14] <DesiJat> worked great, but now I'm having some serious problems with it
[21:10:27] <DesiJat> root FS ran out of space, and i have no way of consoling into the instance :/
[21:10:32] <DesiJat> just...brilliant.
[21:12:12] <[lewellyn]> DesiJat: look into he's form that i linked. they're very well connected, being a backbone provider and all :)
[21:12:12] <[lewellyn]> and i think all customers get ipv6 routing now :)
[21:12:14] <[lewellyn]> as opposed to some places where you have to fight to find anyone who even is willing to note that ipv6 is worth thinking about :P
[21:12:30] <flyingparchment> OTOH, it's he.net ipv6, so that can be a mixed blessing ;)
[21:12:43] <[lewellyn]> flyingparchment: meh. it's routable. that's all that matters ;)
[21:13:07] <[lewellyn]> it can be argued that they have the best plan for migration in the usa, right now :P

[22:42:35] <C_Kode> tough: want to delete them? find -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;
[22:43:13] <monsted> CosmicDJ: nope, T1000 and T2000 is both T1
[22:43:16] <CosmicDJ> ah one of these "shoot yourself on the foot" tips ;)
[22:43:17] <tough> there is no -empty option in solaris 5.9

[22:51:59] <Ayatolla> i whish... now, 5-6 hours later i still dont have ok prompt
[22:52:11] <CosmicDJ> hm?
[22:52:20] <Ayatolla> i get in to system console sc>, but stuck there
[22:52:35] <CosmicDJ> you can't run any commands from it?
[22:52:51] <tsoome> try #.
[22:53:00] <Ayatolla> yes, but console, or console -f just gets me to "enter #. to get back to alom",
[22:53:21] <flyingparchment> did you turn the system on?
[22:53:23] <[lewellyn]> tough: modern solaris has gnu find available. i can't help with 5.9 since i don't have any machines that ancient lying around still
[22:53:42] <CosmicDJ> yeah, try sc> poweron or smth
[22:53:50] <Ayatolla> yes, everything is on but there is no os in the disks

[23:02:52] <CosmicDJ> nope, I had a 280r, connected via telnet to the sc back then and used poweron
[23:03:28] *** infomomo has joined #opensolaris
[23:03:39] <sstallion_work> CosmicDJ: ... you were likely connected to the LOMlite - I know because I have a 280r with one sitting right next to me
[23:03:45] <Stric> sstallion_work: .. yes? just like I said
[23:04:19] <CosmicDJ> hm, lomlite that displayed sc>... ok
[23:04:19] <sstallion_work> Stric: I was simply asserting that obp != LOM ;)
[23:04:26] <flyingparchment> hmm, 'poweroff' is also a solaris command, but i wonder why they didn't add 'poweron'
[23:04:28] <Stric> sstallion_work: I never said they were
[23:04:43] <sstallion_work> flyingparchment: thats a joke right ?
[23:04:47] <flyingparchment> sstallion_work: yes.
[23:04:51] <CosmicDJ> I hope it is ;)
[23:04:55] <Stric> flyingparchment: ha. ha. you made a funny.
[23:04:56] <sstallion_work> flyingparchment: sorry, its been one of those days :)
[23:06:21] <sstallion_work> (power-off is the OBP command; there is no corresponding poweron)
[23:06:33] <sstallion_work> poweroff/poweron are LOM commands (i.e. LOMlite and friends)
[23:07:14] <Stric> not to confuse with ILOM though, which is whacked out
[23:07:23] <sstallion_work> I havent had a chance to play with that yet
[23:07:34] <sstallion_work> (or ALOM for that matter)
[23:07:55] <[lewellyn]> so, how does one find out which man pages are new in the newest consolidation? :P
[23:08:13] <CosmicDJ> diff -r ;)
[23:08:15] <Stric> ILOM is waay different.. 'start /SYS/blah'
[23:08:22] <sstallion_work> blech
[23:08:24] <flyingparchment> Stric: ilom is awful, but i hear some of them have an ALOM-compatibility mode
[23:08:28] <flyingparchment> Stric: sadly, mine don't :(

[23:08:59] <Stric> "show me the last 10 lines" .. takes 15 secs or so
[23:09:08] <sstallion_work> ouch
[23:09:09] *** lukehasnoname has joined #opensolaris
[23:09:11] <sstallion_work> may as well dmesg for that
[23:09:21] <Stric> quite not the same thing
[23:09:28] <sstallion_work> its not, but its close enough
[23:09:32] <Stric> umm.
[23:09:42] <Stric> no?
[23:09:42] <sstallion_work> unless you are looking for input
[23:09:54] <Stric> Or output from POST etc
[23:10:06] <Stric> or anything sent to console
[23:10:09] <sstallion_work> sure, but do you not buffer output from your console server ?
[23:10:32] <Stric> The ALOMs work just fine
[23:10:40] <Stric> and they are their own console servers
[23:11:12] <sstallion_work> like I said, I havent used ALOMs yet, I mostly dink with the older generation which still require console servers.
[23:11:27] <sstallion_work> sparcv9 builds arent that common anymore sadly.
[23:11:44] <[lewellyn]> sstallion_work: my v100's lom messages don't show up in dmesg... it's a separate thing
[23:11:54] <Stric> And ALOMs have a pretty much a built in console server with logs etc..
[23:11:55] <jbk> they also tend to have a console history buffer
[23:11:58] <[lewellyn]> i can use /usr/sbin/lom to read the messages, though
[23:12:03] <CosmicDJ> wow, 280r's for 130 EUR @ ebay
[23:12:08] <jbk> which is nice
[23:12:24] <jbk> if you're in an environment that decides all network equipment MUST be cisco
[23:12:36] *** lukehasnoname has quit IRC
[23:12:54] <[lewellyn]> sstallion_work: also, i don't necessarily *want* average user seeing what is in the lom console history...
[23:13:01] <sstallion_work> [lewellyn]: thats not what I was suggesting. /usr/sbin/lom can give you what you need WRT LOM messages
[23:13:25] <[lewellyn]> jbk: all-cisco is great for the rj45 serial servers :)

[23:14:18] <[lewellyn]> jbk: i meant for logging in ;)

[23:16:27] <Ayatolla> sstallion_work what u know about alom 1.6.9 and sun fire v240? i think u can help with this issue? wont get to the openboot, are stuck at system console, there is no os installed so i online have serial and net mgt connections
[23:16:33] <sstallion_work> [lewellyn]: *sigh* I never suggested you could. dmesg is useful if you need console output without the benefit of LOM
[23:16:53] *** ken1 has joined #opensolaris
[23:17:12] <[lewellyn]> sstallion_work: but the complaint was regarding alom-compatibility's consolehistory and you suggested dmesg...
[23:17:15] <sstallion_work> Ayatolla: I'm not an ALOM user. I would suggest setting your boot mode to drop into the prom and either netboot or install from media
[23:17:25] *** lukehasnoname has joined #opensolaris
[23:17:27] <ikarius> hurrm. this is moderately counter-intuitive.
[23:18:01] <ikarius> you get better comstar performance if you back the LUNs with files on a ZFS filesystem than if you back them with straight-up ZFS volumes
[23:18:01] <Ayatolla> i have media, the problem is to drop in to prom
[23:18:01] *** urbanmonk has quit IRC
[23:18:03] <sstallion_work> [lewellyn]: assuming what you need from chist is provided from dmesg. I did not presume to know what it is someone is looking for.
[23:18:20] <[lewellyn]> nothing from consolehistory should be in dmesg, though.
[23:18:40] <ikarius> at least, vastly better write performance.... 300 mb/sec vs 50 mb/sec on straight write IO
[23:18:41] <[lewellyn]> it could be potentially used by malicious users for bad things :P
[23:19:56] <Ayatolla> is there a way to set bootmode to boot from media from sc, and then poweron?
