[OpenIndiana-discuss] Upgrading OpenSolaris 134 to OpenIndiana
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 That's straight 134; NOT 134a or 134b. Is <http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Upgrading+from+OpenSolaris> best-practices on this? (Including the comments, but it looks like that's largely ways to get there from 134b, and I'm lucky enough to not have gone to b, so it sounds easy; is it easy?) (And if that's NOT best-practices, why hasn't somebody updated it?) This is my home fileserver, with "all my files" on it, but actually only three mirrored pairs of data drives in one data pool, total under 2TB offered to clients (i.e. fairly small). Three sets of backups, two of which will be current when I try the upgrade, and I'm going to have a livecd for emergency purposes already ready. The 134 installation has Zfs root, so the new installation should be just another layer there, and it should be trivial to roll back if anything is wrong; I've played with that before, and that worked (on previous upgrades). The data disks are a separate pool from the system disks, so there shouldn't be any interaction. I know that, if the upgrade initially works, and I update the ZFS pool version, I lose the ability to roll back and access the data, so I won't do that for a while. Anything else I need to know? (I considered free NexentaStore, there's ample safety margin in the disk space limit; but that doesn't technically seem to allow my use, which sometimes includes files for contract work and photos that I sometimes sell, and backing up my wife's computer which she uses to write books, and so forth. Plus OpenIndiana should be almost just like what I'm used to. I vaguely considered trying FreeBSD, but again there's the question of what I'm used to, and this should be a simpler upgrade, plus I'm using in-kernel CIFS which I hear is "better" than Samba plus again is what I'm used to now.) - -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRs3ZlAAoJEMiD2Rrwy8ia7AYIAKIeok8N5ZnmxpmEJdQf0Vj9 Tit2aXM8Ma3u8KS7QqR/NcckT5hsXkQ4hV6gyIR9UzUo8/pHJdL0LpJUKHT0Lnif aCcYF3v+xMQsB8lFD45WD9vDHoS+DXcJqEy73IH21UnO+zc9ZfxPoKXwdRE+pwpS IKXJF/rAvKJCw7WbZc2G9QlyE8D9SXPay3vaflU/lXihkCSZOYfaPAqaVjse35EX 0hWu47X+GrVSILBmRwJqlD0jTk/dwMvy5xeJVB6XJQJc5UjvoudXQ/D0FgEW6FYJ kA5qCR4T+5tj/jsOQEhC3YodTfthtcYegHHbTDRygfSFKP/vZbPMv3RseNfLsc4= =Gl4K -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Shorter subjects for mailing lists

I'd be surprised if anybody dealing with the level of mailing list traffic that paying attention to several open source projects requires is just dumping all their mail into one box. If they're already sorting things, either through per-mailing-list addresses or through sorting rules (Procmail or the like), the prefix in the subject line is completely unnecessary. (However, I suppose some people might have made the newbie mistake of establishing their sorting rules based on the prefix, in which case taking it off would break it. But really, if sorting by mailing list, use the List-Id: header!) -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Trying to make sense of mailing list subjects on my phone, for instance, is a bit tiresome. I have my mail app on half my screen and with my current setup the subject I see is "Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Shorter su..." My suggestion is to change the subject prefix in the list software from "[OpenIndiana-discuss]" to "[oi-disc]" and that will reclaim a lot of subject line real estate all by itself. +1 Or drop the subject munging entirely!

Most of us use GUI-based email readers that handle>80char subjects. Is this really an issue? For me, in Thunderbird, the subject is squeezed into about a sixth of the Thunderbird window, which is about half my screen width. So, in fact, "Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ntpd not keeping time in sync" is within a few characters of the max that will show without being truncated. And I have a 26" wide-screen monitor for photoshop work; most people have smaller displays. It's in the message list that the subject line is important, of course; where I use it to find things, and such. The fact that the whole thing shows on the current message in the preview window doesn't really matter much. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
