Re: [osol-discuss] Samsung Sata Drives Not Detected
Hi Well i do have NTFS files system on all my drives now. i do have a question though is there any other possible way i can convert my drives to ZFS or UFS with software similar to partition magic in Windows right now. This way i can get all my data where i want it before hand. Also does that mean once i do any of the above i will no longer be able to access those drives when i do boot into Vista.

Re: [osol-discuss] NAS - which OS version, and what hardware is supported?
The AOC Micro PCI-X card he uses fits into an ordinary PCI slot. I am using that card together with an ordinary [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1GB RAM. If you use that card with a PCI slot, you will not get the full ~1GB/sec bandwidth as PCI-X does. You will only get the normal PCI bandwidth ~150MB/sec or so. To achieve this speed you need a 64bit CPU. My P4 achieves around 20MB/sec, because it is 32 bit. I can recommend that SATA card. It works without drivers. OpenSolaris build 69 detected it automatically. It works without any hassle. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] UFS or ZFS for MYSQL and APACHE web server data and Database
I have two 200GB ISCSI LUN's setup on each X4600 M2 running Solaris 10 X86 update 4. The data on these ISCSI disks for one server will be Apache and on the other server MYSQL. My question is should I setup these disks as a ZFS Pool filesystem or as a UFS soft partition (eventually the LUN will be expanded). What would offer the best performance and easier to expand later on? What file system as less problems setting up data this way? This will be on production systems so I need to the best results. The disks are connected to a Equallogic box that's setup as a Raid 50. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

This is a very special venue, and I will remind our community that we will be using one of California historical buildings, no different than the auditorium, but this is where the Governor stayed when he visited the Agnew campus. Sun did a wonderful job at restoring this building, and we would like to ensure that we are able to continue using it in the future. As such, please help us tread lightly inside. The rooms are smaller in the Mansion, but there are more than one, so we can spread out if needed. The intent is that it will be easier to manage the lighting for the video and hold the meeting in a different, more intimate setting. The alarm can't be disarmed, so you will need to knock on the door and one of us will open it for you. The Mansion is located almost directly across from the Santa Clara Auditorium, in the smaller building located to the left of the large structure directly across the street. Use the same parking along Palm, and in the parking lots. The Mansion also has an ice machine in the kitchen, where we can host the beverages and snacks for the meeting. The first presentation will be given by Jonathan Chew and Sasha Kolbasov, explaining Project Nitro. Project Nitro was a performance project to speed up the builds, to better parellelize the build process to use the system more efficiently. Build times have dropped down on x86 and sparc both, and I'll let Jonathan and Sasha give real world numbers. I'm seeing about 15-20 percent improvement on x86 and more on sparc myself. Jonathan and Sasha will explain to you how they went about this project, which is most applicable to many processes on OpenSolaris where similar improvements could also be achieved.

[osol-discuss] SMA 1.0 vs NET-SNMP 5.4.1
I am really looking forward to have the latest net-snmp (5.4.1) work on our large number of thumper machines as well as the Intel based Solaris 10 servers, the goal we are trying to reach is to get various resource monitored (including lmsensor) over a secure layer and hopefully intergrated with SunFM which is a big advantage of Solaris 10. Now I am able to compile Net-snmp 5.4.1 64bit on thumpers and it is working great (very nice!), but obviously it does not work with FM piece. SMA (shipped with solaris 10 and based on Net-SNMP 5.0.9) works fine with FM. My questions are: 1. Is there a project in Sun that pushes SMA to work with newer version of Net-SNMP? And of course get FM integrated? 2. Is the next generation of SMA is going to support lmsensor? 3. Net-SNMP has their standard lmsensor support for various os platforms (except Solaris10 at the moment), Bruce Shaw - the developer from Net-SNMP has been working and trying to get Solaris 10 supported, if we can have it supported as we did for other platforms, it would be extremely easy and simple to manage ih our NMS. I also think a lot of users have the same need. Does Sun consider it as an option to collaborate with Net-SNMP to get it supported in near future? Thumper is an expensive equipment, it worths to get it monitored better right? :) Angie This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
