Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Any hardware snafus in this lineup?

2014-03-25 Thread Philip Robar
I forgot one thing. The Avoton boards have not been tested with Solaris,
OpenIndiana or any of its derivates. Lots of people are asking about them
for this use, but no results yet that I know of yet.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] linux netlink support or replacement in Solaris/Illumos...???

2014-03-25 Thread Hans J. Albertsson
I tried to compile ohNet from the openhome suite, and stumbled on a 
single first major problem (there are probably many more less 
fundamental ones to defeat later). Linux has something called netlink, 
and the ohNet code uses a few macros and calls to that.


I wonder what netlink does, and how to do it the right way in OI. I 
looked around the internet, but no real and immediately useful way to do 
it popped up.


OpenHome ohNet is available on git://github.com/openhome/ohNet, if you 
want to look at it.

I think it is sort of doing something vaguely reminiscent of what rpc 
did in SunOS.

No.  Netlink is for network interface and routing control.  On Solaris,
you'd use a combination of ioctls (SIOC[SG]IF...) and BSD-style routing
sockets (AF_ROUTE/PF_ROUTE).

Non-portable stuff on Linux is sort of par for the course.  :-/

On Solaris, this functionality is already available as AVAHI,
enable dns/multicast and avahi-bridge-dsd (don't know if you need
more than that, I don't use this at all, it clashes with infiniband
modules).

 or a FF bug with NFS/CIFS.
 

Not a virgin account but one where I had deleted the .mozilla folder.
However, let me repeat that it works perfectly under oi_134_11 (that is,
OpenSolaris 134 with some system patches applied).

I might try to archive then remove my $HOME/.mozilla directory, and see if that 
does any good.


Again, thanks for the comments.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Firefox 28.0 still broken for me - Re: Firefox can't save files

2014-03-25 Thread Jerry Kemp
Just a status update. I archived then removed my $HOME/.mozilla directory. 
Aside from wiping out everything I would expect it to, nothing was fixed or 
resolved.


FWIW, I have been using the OpenSolaris version of Firefox 27  28.

Anyway, I still had a copy of the OpenSolaris version 25.0.1 untarred in a 
directory, so I kicked that off, and low and behold, everything works again.


I guess I will stand tall till either Firefox 29 or 30 is released, and give 
things a try again.


Again, any comments or speculation is appreciated.

thank you,

Jerry

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Using large (3-4 TB) USB disks for backups

2014-03-25 Thread Reginald Beardsley
Has anyone been able to  ZFS format a 3-4 TB  USB drive w/ OI so that it worked 
properly?  I was defeated by a 3 TB Toshiba drive, but am hoping some other 
make might work  w/o generating misaligned messages.  

I'd very much like to be able to write compressed zfs send streams to ZFS 
formatted USB disks for backups.

FWIW, I've done it with an Hitachi 4TB Touro.  I set it up so long ago 
that I don't recall the precise steps I took, but I don't recall it 
being difficult.

It helps if you paste in the terminal window showing the exact commands 
you issued and their responses.
