[OpenIndiana-discuss] HP Proliant Microserver N54L Upgrade
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what to do for an upgrade? I have a HP Proliant Microserver N54L with 4x 2Tb drives which I have been happy with for more than a year but I have started to run out of disk space in my zfs pool. I have been pruning the snapshots and rubbish but filling it up now is inevitable. What I would really like to do is to swap the disks out for larger one but I doubt that this is really practical as to make this work you need spare disk slots which I don't have. Another option might be to add a SATA card and add more disk that way. But I have no idea of where to start with this, and even if this microserver can do that. And a third is just to get a new server. I can't see any which have more than 4 drive bays do these exist (for reasonable money) or do you need to make your own? If so anyone got a recommendation?

Hi All, I am just about to build a new system: What is the realistic small disk you can use to install on? What is the recommened size assumimg all no OS stuff will be on another pool? (ie to take into account updates etc) Can you install a new system with a mirror as the boot drive? (I kind of think that Solaris didn't allow this) Can you extend the root pool by adding more disks after installation?

It seems slower to enlarge the process address space as well (perhaps because it does not lie). This is because Linux lies to an app about new page allocation, until you attually write to a page it doesn't attually exist at all, Solaris (at least used to) allocates a page and cleans it (or make it sparse). This means it is possible on Linux to look like you have lots a memory and then suddenly runout. Solaris also use a copy on write system at forking (which I think Linux copied), that is why they are so much faster than Windows, which attually has to start a new process and copy the whole address space todo a fork, which is why it just easier to just start a new process rather than fork/exec on windows. ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Good. BTW HP or IBM Unix was the first one I saw do this and they even
had special signals, to tell you. Sorry you app had to die as we lied
about how much memory you could have. It was v annoying.
If memory serves, pages weren't cleaned at reservation (ie when "malloc"
was called), but only when actually accessed ("zfod" - zero fill on
demand). Memory*did* have to be accounted for ("reserved" as the name
says), so you'd know at malloc-time if you were out of memory, and not when
someone tried to access it later.
Thanks for the clarifications.

Hi all,
something bad has happened with the last updates and rendered two of my
build servers unbootable. They are both stuck in the boot loader ("start
not found") such that
booting with an old BE won't fix that!
SO DON'T UPDATE YOUR SYSTEMS FOR NOW!
I fear that my update of binutils-2.37 may be the culprit.

Andreas

[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox Client Extensions Broken
Hi, Not quite sure what has broken it but, I installed the latest version of VirtualBox 6.1.38 and updated the client extension into my OpenIndiana VM client (it was the last build 2021Oct from the ISO). Around the same time I did a pkg update to the latest changes. Since then the Shared Folders have not worked. (The host is a windows 11 box there was also an microsoft update on that day which I initially wondered about). On boot of the VM I now see undefined symbol 'removectx' and 'installctx' from /usr/kernel/drv/smd64/vboxguest. There is also after that a whole host of messages about vboxguest as it tries to start the service. When I installed client extension there was an error message about vboxguest not installing correctly. Anyone got any clues what I did wrong or intrested in the dmesg error or the output of the errors in the installing of the client extensions? ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
