Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] weird packet garbling problem

2013-02-02 Thread Jake Young
Thanks Jim!

I've seen similar behavior to what Ed described on a Solaris 10 Sparc box
(V445) that is in a remote office.

I'll try that setting and see if it resolves my issue.

I was VNCing in to an OI box in my office from my laptop via VPN and sshing
in to the V445 box to kick off some backup scripts (which take a long time
to run, due to the slow link to this office).

Oddly enough I never had any issues with the automounter or nfs share I was
backing up the V445 to.  One issue was with the ssh connection between my
OI desktop and the V445 dropping out (note there is very little text output
in my backup script) after an hour or two. My other issue was having the
VNC drop out between my laptop and desktop.  It was setup as a persistent
session, so no big deal, just annoying.

I think the V445 interfaces are bge and the OI desktop is e1000g.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] auto-snapshot replicate problems

2012-03-26 Thread Jake Young
I had issues using the auto-snapshots for syncing.  I actually was just
sending regular snapshots from my OI laptop to my OI server.

I wrote a little perl script that might do what you need.

The basic concepts I use are to
1) Use a unique snapshot prefix for my backup snapshots
2) Only keep one backup snapshot on my laptop at any time
3) If the snapshot is missing anywhere, resend the whole filesystem

My script is a perl script, but below is a walk through of the zfs commands
I used.  The script is run from the sending machine.

I gave up on using the auto-snapshots for this once I realized that I
couldn't reliably predict when snapshots got cleaned up and especially when
auto-snapshots failed to be created.  I still use auto-snapshots for its
original purpose, to take frequent local snapshots.  The local snapshots
don't interfere with my backup snapshots and vice versa.

Basic logic is below:

# Loop through all of my zfs filesystems
zfs list -o name | while read zfspart

# Create a new snapshot on my laptop to send over to my server
zfs snapshot ${zfspart}@backup-${timestamp}
#store the name of the new snapshot in $zfssnap

# Get the latest snapshot on my server for this filesystem
zfssnapold=`ssh $host /usr/sbin/zfs list -Ho name -t snapshot | grep
backup/laptop/$zfspart\@backup- | sort | tail -1 `

#Check that the latest snapshot matches the earliest snapshot on my laptop

#if they match then send an incremental backup and then delete the old
local snapshot
zfs send -i $zfssnapold $zfssnap | ssh -C $host pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs recv
-F backup/laptop/$zfspart
zfs destroy $zfssnapold

#if they don't match and there is no local snapshot (but there is one on
the server); delete the remote snapshot and send the whole filesystem
ssh $host pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs destroy backup/laptop/$zfssnapold
zfs send $zfssnap | ssh -C $host pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs recv -F
backup/laptop/$zfspart

#if there is no snapshot on the server, then just send the whole filesystem
zfs send $zfssnap | ssh -C $host /usr/sbin/zfs recv -F
backup/laptop/$zfspart

Best of luck John!

 Altering the time-slider daemon would be tricky, but writing my own with a
 crontab would still take some time to replicate all the features I would
 like (clearing up old snapshots etc.)

 As the auto-replicate script is use ( any other script would be the same)
 needs to know the last destination snapshot and the current sending
 snapshot. I have implemented a simple zfs hold and zfs release to lock the
 last snapshot sent (tag of destination hostname) and release the previous
 one.

 Hi,

 I think time-slider daemon is in JDS consolidation. But the question is
 - why do you want to hack it and maintain own hack? Why not to create zfs
 snapshots by own crontab entry?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] USB wireless network...

2011-09-24 Thread Jake Young

  Hi All,
 
  I've got OI 151 installed on a laptop, but no NIC or wireless drivers.
 
  I want to purchase a USB wireless... and saw a mention of linksys
  wusbf54g,
  but that device is pretty obsolete at this point.
 
  Anyone have a recommendation for a more current model that will have a
  driver?

 I have a LinkSys WUSB54GC that works out of the box on a new installation
 of oi-151.

 It's not exactly recent, but I think any of the Linksys AE should work.

 I haven't had any luck with a Linksys AE1000.  There is no driver built
into oi-151a for it.

I've tried the run driver which seems to be pretty close to working.

See http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/

I recompiled version 0.8.5 and installed it.

Added my driver alias:
update_drv -a -i 'usb13b1,2f' run

... but the microcode fails to load when I plug in the usb stick.

I have been meaning to contact the driver author Masa, to see if we can
figure it out, but I've been too busy.

 One of the biggest appeals of OI/Illumos to me is that it is a continuation
of the legacy of Sun Solaris' high standards of engineering excellence. My
personal view of the open sourcing of Solaris 11 is that someone in Sun
wanted to make sure that the OS that had so much invested in it would have
an opportunity to continue to flourish.  Things weren't going so well for
Sun back in 2005, it was pretty clear that if the Sun hardware wasn't going
to make enough money, the OS development would be impacted severely.  The
roots of Solaris go back to the beginning of

Not that Sun was such a great company, but there were a lot of fantastic
developers there.  Anyone I talked to that knew the kernel development
teams, said something along the lines of they're the smartest people I
know.  Sun incubated that talent and tried to make its money from hardware
sales.

There are still a lot of fantastic people that stayed on when Oracle took
over.  What is scaring everyone is what will Oracle do with Solaris in 5
years, will there even be a Solaris 12?

Maybe someday, OI/Illumos will not be seen as the fork...

I think its appropriate to honor the company that brought us this great OS!

was seeing similar errors to Alexander and no environment variables would

I did a snoop capture and the first thing I noticed is that the
communication between my box and pkg.openindiana.org was ipv6.

I disabled ndp and tried again, this time everything went perfect and took
less than 15 minutes.  Previously it was taking nearly an hour.

Seems like there is an issue with ipv6 somewhere.

Hope this helps someone else!

I had a similar problem, but I'm in the US.  It was resolved by setting
PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=300 in my environment.  I'm on a 50Mbps cable modem, so I
don't think the issue is a bandwidth issue on my end.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Suspend and Resume

2011-05-14 Thread Jake Young
I'm running a T61p and suspend / resume is working for me.

Does it do nothing when you try to suspend?

If so you need to enable suspend resume support in /etc/power.conf:

autopm  default
autoS3   default
cpu-threshold  1s
cpupmenable
S3-support  enable


...or does it go to sleep and then resume immediately?

There is an issue introduced in b145 that you can work around by adding this
to the end of your /etc/system file:

set pci_enable_wakeup = 0

Note that this is kind of a hack and causes issues with being able to detect
USB devices after resume...  Thats not a big deal for me since I don't use
any USB devices when I'm not docked, but could be a showstopper for a lot of
people.

See this thread: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=133674

Unfotunately the Oracle bug tracker is down (anyone know if this is
permanent?), so you can't see the upstream status of these bugs.
