Re: 1.0.1-test3 available for testing

2008-04-23 Thread Tim Spriggs
I have found a work-around for the x4100 if an admin is willing to match 
the other NICs settings instead of using preferred settings. I don't 
have any other critical bugs to note.

Thanks,

 By any chance, do you have bug number for this? Could you look it up if
 fix is already in?

 Hi Erast,

 There is a new bug in the e1000g driver that does not allow flow 
 control to be advertised correctly. This means that link aggregates on 
 the x4100 don't work where there are two nge interfaces and two e1000g 
 interfaces. This seems to affect the latest Sol10U4 patches and the 
 latest Nexenta testing base.

 Guys,

 I just uploaded 1.0.1-test3 for your testing pleasure.
 Please give it a try - if we will not find much of show stoppers in this
 one, we will move it to stable - probably by the end of this week.

 Few important fixes in this release:

 1) libdlpi now works more reliably with recent name vanity putback

 2) significantly improved speed of boot_archive creation - up to 5 times
 faster now... on my test box it takes ~ 7 seconds to recreate archives
 (comparing to 60 seconds before the change)

 3) disabled broken UFS/manual partitioning related code in installer

Great. Thanks Tim.

Could you elaborate on what does it mean (from practical perspective) to
use preferred settings? Should user change anything from the default
installation? If so, we should make this change permanent..

I also tested it quite a bit on multiple machines - looks good. I'm
planning to push -test4 this week, and 1.0.1 next week.
