Is it correct to expect ifr_hwaddr member in ifreq structure if
SIOCGIFHWADDR defined?
It might be correct on some platforms. It wouldn't be correct on
OpenIndiana, because it doesn't exist on that one. In other words, the
application needs to be ported.
I believe that ioctl only works on PF_PACKET sockets, and requires the
use of sockaddr_ll. See:
http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2009/232/pfp-psarc.txt
What solution would be correct?
1. Check it in the configure stage:
if ${OPSYS} == SunOS then #undef SIOCGIFHWADDR in config.h
In this case the software developers must do it in the configure script.
2. Remove the SIOCGIFHWADDR definition from Illumos/OI headers while it
don't work.
In this case Illumos/OI developers must correct header files.
P.S. I can't understand, why e2fsprogs want any network-related
headers... Of course, this question is for e2fsprogs developers.

I'd say #1. The reason I say that is that (a) the OI header does in
fact work, if you know how to use it, and that other software's failure
to understand how to use it really isn't OI's problem, (b) definition of
that macro does not in fact imply anything about the system, (c) there's
no fundamental system design requirement saying that #defines must be
omitted until the underlying implementation is perfect with respect to
some thoroughly arbitrary external reference, and (d) there's really no
standard saying precisely what that #define must do, so there's no
violation of type or conformance.
I do agree that partially implemented Linux compatibility things are a
bit of a hazard in general, and that this one in particular is a bit
sad. Taking that failure up with the developer of the feature (not me,
but he's not hard to find) might be interesting.
However, like the last problem with this same unported software posted
on this same list, this new problem exposes a number of fairly clear issues:
1. Non-trivial software needs to be ported in order to run on
different systems. All of us who build software that runs on
multiple systems really do wish it were otherwise, that somehow
standards bodies and market pressure would magically make every
system compatible with another, but we know that in the real
world, that just doesn't work. Porting is work.
As a corollary, software that hasn't been ported, like features
that are never tested, does not work. Period. It doesn't work.
2. Automatic configuration systems (such as, but certainly not
limited to, GNU autoconf) are not magic. Sometimes, in the hands
of skilled and wise developers, they help the process of designing
and then _TESTING_ software that is widely portable. But they're
not pixie dust that can be sprinkled on top in the hope that
somehow a slew of build-time tests combined with a rat's nest of
#ifdefs will make it all work out.
Perhaps more significantly: no automated test can (today at least)
determine what has been documented to work on any given system.
All that it can test is the contents of include files, symbols in
libraries, OS name and version, files/directories, installed
software packages, and, if it tries hard, kernel interfaces. None
of that substitutes in any automated way for an actual developer
reading the flippin' man pages.
3. Not all systems are Linux. Nor are they BSD. Nor are they
Windows. Nor are they Solaris. And so on. Assuming that there's
one special golden reference standard out there that everyone
must support is pure folly.
If everything were the same, well, there'd only be one OS in the
world, and I know I'd really be sad if we all had to write code
on Win7.
4. e2fsprogs is not greater in stature than OI. That is to say,
there's no reason I can see that OI should have to change in order
to pave a road for that one software project. Sure, if there are
objective bugs or flaws in OI, and if someone has the time and
ability to repair those things, then that's great, whether it does
or does not help e2fsprogs. But assuming that each
incompatibility between the two is in fact a problem is _either_
is, I think, deeply wrong.
One doesn't go visiting a foreign land and just assume the
residents there must speak the one's own language and, if they
don't, then they must be defective. That's not how it works.
Note that this goes both ways. I wouldn't expect software written
explicitly for OI to run well at all on the systems used by the
e2fsprogs developers. If someone wanted it to run there, then that
person would have to put in the work required to port the software over.
And calling their systems broken because they don't run native
Solaris software is not too

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Memory drains away....
I'm wondering if this memory drain may be due to zpool caching (L2ARC). You could try and see if it helps of you set a limit on this cache.

Over 12 hours this slowly degrades to about 1gb free and I start to notice a slow down. Once this drops down to 400mb stuff starts to really drag. Setting the max zfs arc use does nothing. This is using TOP. If you look at the gnome performance monitor it will say you are only using 2gb of ram yet there is degradation in performance (I assume for slow memory clearing and reuse).

That list is not relevant. Joyent targeted their port strictly for Intel

Basically this means you need a Nehalem or later (Westmere, Sandy Bridge)
processor.

How do you defined the bridge in c6 host?? What nic driver do you use in
OI??
centos6 (host) bridge is defined using /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:
ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
BRIDGE=br0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:1E:67:14:E7:5D
TYPE=Ethernet
DNS1=10.16.168.10
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no

BOOTPROTO=static

IPADDR=10.16.168.3
PREFIX=27
GATEWAY=10.16.168.10
DNS1=10.16.168.10
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6INIT=no
10.16.168.3 is the host IP address on that network.
nics driver on OI was the default rtl8139 (rtls0), but i have changed to
e1000g (the physical port, fwiw, is e1000g)
both types plumb OK on the OI VM, but no traffic seems to cross the bridge

Uhmm ... Maybe the problem is with e1000g driver. I have installed a
FreeBSD guest under a RHEL6 kvm host, and this driver suffers problems ...

[OpenIndiana-discuss] VPN tunnel to cisco with VPNC
Hello, has anybody got a VPN connection with the vpnc? I have a cisco VPN gateway. The configuration is set and it seems, as if the tunnel is established, because I got the parameter ( network ), but setting the routing fails. The tun-device is setup, but the adding of the route says, that the network is not reachable. The route for the VPN gateway IP is added. Thanks for any info Ewald ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] VPN tunnel to cisco with VPNC
Hello Ewald, Please review the following link, and see if there is anything that can assist you. http://lists.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/pipermail/vpnc-devel/2005-April/000589.html If possible, please post a summary if/when you resolve your issue. VPN connectivity is seriously lacking in the *Solaris world. Jerry Kemp On 11/ 4/11 03:10 PM, Ewald Ertl wrote: Hello, has anybody got a VPN connection with the vpnc? I have a cisco VPN gateway.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] server power cycling at very predictable moments
Hello Daniel! every two weeks at 3:20AM my x2200 powercycles. Well, that's a tough one. :-) Have you looked at the BIOS? You can do strange things there... Apart from that, your best bet would be to set up auditing and enable it some 10 minutes before the next shutdown, then try and find out what the last commands were before the box rebooted. If you can time it closely enough, a crashdump (i.e. savecore -L) might also help. Good luck -- Volker -- Volker A.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenOffice on oi151a
I have had no problems with the latest oo on an fresh install of 151a. On my old update machine with staroffice 9 oo 3.3.0 errors out when I try to open it (I believe it was library problems). Someday I will wipe the slate. Also... crossoveroffice works well and MS office 2003 is pretty respectable on my 151a (although I only use it when I have to).
