yeah... I got a little carried away there... I had long ago setup a /var/adm/debug.log that catches everything log message issued. with *.debug /var/adm/debug.log in /etc/syslog.conf Then forgot I had done so... The messages are there alright but now I'm finding they are not all that helpful... an example at the end. > The reason why it's so primitive is that at this point (in Solaris, > OpenSolaris, Linux, or Windows), you're still pretty much dependent > on whatever features the BIOS provides you, which limits you just > to the old-fashioned, low-tech text-only console.

With the same bios, linux manages to provide a text console that is vastly more useful... ie, it has gpm running. I wasn't asking for a gui, I like a text console... but do like to be able to mouse copy from the buffer. About the console messages; they were concerning how to find the output using fmdump, and using the `Event ID' to do so. Now armed with the Event IDs that had scrolled off the screen: I still learn nothing very useful, that is, unless by pounding away on man fmdump and probably a number of other man pages this can be made sense of. But not at all obvious what any of this might mean: fmdump -v -u 4021154c-2d57-c54e-ae82-ea27fc2d19fa TIME UUID SUNW-MSG-ID Oct 14 04:14:02.1292 4021154c-2d57-c54e-ae82-ea27fc2d19fa ZFS-8000-GH 100% fault.fs.zfs.vdev.checksum Problem in: zfs://pool=z3/vdev=e35825af18775fc2 Affects: zfs://pool=z3/vdev=e35825af18775fc2 FRU: - Location: - Oct 25 17:06:24.7775 4021154c-2d57-c54e-ae82-ea27fc2d19fa FMD-8000-4M Repaired 100% fault.fs.zfs.vdev.checksum Repair Attempted Problem in: zfs://pool=z3/vdev=e35825af18775fc2 Affects: zfs://pool=z3/vdev=e35825af18775fc2 FRU: - Location: - Oct 25 17:06:24.8987 4021154c-2d57-c54e-ae82-ea27fc2d19fa FMD-8000-6U Resolved 100% fault.fs.zfs.vdev.checksum Repair Attempted Problem in: zfs://pool=z3/vdev=e35825af18775fc2 Affects: zfs://pool=z3/vdev=e35825af18775fc2 FRU: - Location: - _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
