-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm new to Solaris and this maillinglist so let me introduce myself. My name is Timo Zimmermann. A video made by "CSI:Munich" (on youtube) about ZFS caught my attention and I decided that I move my private fileserver to Solaris. Because a lack of time (and coding skills) the only way I see to contribute is with testing what you guys release and maybe some documentation.
After installing OpenSolaris Developer Preview, which was (btw.) really easy and worked without problems, I got some errors and gdm didn't start. >svc.startd[7]: svc:/application/font/fc-cache:default: Method >"/usr/bin/fc-cache" failed due to signal BUS. >svc.startd[7]: svc:/application/font/fc-cache:default: failed: >transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details) fc-cache only returned "Bus Error (core dumped)". zpool status -v showed me: >name state read write cksum >zpl_slim degraded 0 0 18 > c7d0s0 degraded 0 0 18 too many errors > >errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files: > //usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luximb.ttf replacing /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luximb.ttf with luximb.ttf from the livecd solved this and fc-cache works without problems and gdm started. Some time later I had another "permanent error" in a lib under /lib/amd64. Because I don't need amd64-libs I just deleted the file. But somehow I'm curious how this can happen. I don't believe in a hardware error, Debian Etch ran on this system since the first release, FreeBSD 7 beta and Solaris Express Developer Edition didn't come up with one error. memtest86 shows no error and smartmontools tells me my harddrive is okay. So everything as expected. But because this looks okay to me I don't know how this could happen. And now some things I'd like to see in indiana: - - An option to select what to install. At least I want to choose if X, Gnome, ... should be installed. I don't see a reason to waste resources and disk space to X on a server. (if I miss something please feel free to correct me) - - ZFS Administration console (smcwebserver?!). I really liked to setup my zpool / zfs with the administration console and get some informations without logging in via ssh. (on SXDE) This is nothing I would say that is really essential. ZFS is easy enough to work with, but I think it is a nice feature. - - a way to share files via smb as easy as it is with nfs. (with CIFS in the kernel this should be possible, shouldn't it?) ~Timo - -- Timo Zimmermann http://www.hopelesscom.de/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHLxIPnYDUQ3PvEu4RAuOiAKCalBs6DsJmWEF+3YEvy16AyCm2KACfXGp5 MjyxMa2hSk7hwupxHPyNMY0= =NJ4E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
