Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [discuss] Re: Support for USB3?

[Garrett D'Amore]

Oh, and just for a note, USB is *not* like writing another type of driver.
The entire USB framework is a scary beast all of its own, and sadly it also
uses & abuses STREAMs.  Implementing a modern USB3 stack should really be
done by creating a new nexus framework, and converting some of the leaf
drivers to it.  Our entire USB framework really needs some serious lovin’.
  But again, its just a problem finding priority and skills in confluence.

Lack of sufficient time & interest on the part of the developers that do
have the skill to do this.  (There *might* be a half dozen of us that could
undertake this effort who are active in the community — but I suspect that
the real number is lower.  I can think of maybe four of us off the top of
my head, but we’re all pretty busy with other tasks.)

I’ve talked about this for years, but never seem to find the time to do the
job…

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [developer] 4174 - Removal of Sun DHCP server from gate

[Garrett D'Amore]

+1, although I'm biased. :-)  I cannot be the RTI approver in any case.

 Push for RTI ?


 Hello.

 As it in any case has stopped working at recent illumos builds and nobody
 volunteered to fix it I don't see reasons to keep it in its current state.

 I know that SRSS works with it, but it also can be configured with ISC
 DHCP server.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [illumos-Discuss] access to Sun Fire V440 for Illumos Project

[Garrett D'Amore]

I bet I know a guy in Germany who would want at least one of them.
Roland Mainz.   I am not sure what part of Germany he is in though.

  Hello.
  We (system administrator group of Southern Federal University Computer
  Center) are ready to provide dedicated Sun Fire V440 server for Illumos
  or OpenIndiana Project. I've read in OpenIndiana mailing list that
  Illumos needs SPARC servers. This one is not the latest, but it has 4
  UltraSPARC IIIi (1062 MHz) and 8 GB of RAM.
  If you need it, please, give me contacts of your system administrators
  to discuss further details.
 
 I would like to chime in here. We are in the process of retiring 2 Sun V490
 Servers (8 cores, see below) and have no further usage for them.
 Unfortunately we have no resources to host this servers and I don't think
 I could convince my company to pay shipment but at least  we can give them
 away for free. We are located in Berlin, Germany. Please contact me by mail
 if there is any interest.
