In my particular case, I didn't notice any change between the different

What do you see as output from these commands:

SXCE and OpenSolaris are both unfinished "works in progress" and the 
performance changes radically from one build to another. Read this thread:

   http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=98800&tstart=15

If you look closely at Scott's posts, you'll see that build 110 of OpenSolaris 
was 3000% faster than build 109 on the particular benchmark he was running. 
There are also a lot of regressions that happen during the development process, 
so a later build number is not necessarily faster than an earlier build number. 
It also comes down to the idiosyncratic peculiarities of whatever build number 
you happen to be running. So what build are you running?

[osol-discuss] Performance of opensolaris

2009-07-28 Thread Bruno Damour

Hello,

The previous thread reminds me of one surprising fact I've been 
fundering over for some time.


Now I love opensolaris and I have SXCE 64bit installed on my home server 
(Quad Core E6600, Asus P5W-DH mobo, 8G ram PC6400, SATA disks in AHCI 
mode). Zfs of course.
My work machine is a 2 year old Dell laptop (Core 2, 1G ram), running 
WindowsXP.


I use postgresql quite a lot (though rather small databases), and I have 
a backup on the server.


The surprising fact is that the performance is still slightly better on 
my laptop than on the server. This has been true with postgresql 8.3 and 
now with postgresql 8.4 as well.
I find this quite surprising as both hardware and OS (64bit) seem to be 
a lot better on the server.
Furthermore, I had to tweak postgresql a bit to even get on the same 
level of performance than the default windows setup.


Is there any explanation you would think of ?

Most mounts need PRIV_SYS_MOUNT, meaning in practice that you

Also note this:

"The Amiga is able to emulate other computer platforms ranging from many 8-bit 
systems such as the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Nintendo Game Boy, 
Nintendo Entertainment System, Apple II and the TRS-80, up to platforms such as 
the IBM PC, Apple Macintosh and Atari ST. MAME (the arcade machine emulator) is 
also available for Amiga systems with PPC accelerator card upgrades."

I was reading this:

and I came up with one possible (albeit unlikely) theory.  The wikipedia 
article says the following:

"The Amiga is not limited to solely the 68k CPU architecture; although 
Commodore never shipped one, it is possible to install a PowerPC coprocessor 
that can be used by PowerPC-aware software and libraries,[13] and later the 
AmigaOne used a PowerPC CPU instead of a 68k CPU."

[osol-discuss] Oracle buys AmigaOS to merge it with Solaris ?!?!

2009-07-28 Thread Anon Y Mous
I can't believe this is real:

http://commodoretoday.blogspot.com/2009/07/oracle-open-sources-amiga-os-desktop.html

It is VERY cool though. Two thumbs up to Larry Ellison and McNealy and co.

Basic summary is this:  

 (1) Oracle buys AmigaOS and releases a press statement where they claim that 
the "reasons for obtaining the AmigaOS were for technologies to integrate into 
their own Solaris server OS, not to continue development of a desktop OS."

 (2) Oracle open-sources AmigaOS and releases the source code to a crowd of 
enthusiastic long-in-the-tooth Amiga die-hards who still want to continue 
development of AmigaOS as an open source community outside of Oracle.

What do you guys think about this? Anybody have any guesses or ideas as to what 
AmigaOS technologies might be integrated into Solaris? 

On a different note: I always thought Sun probably should have acquired SGI 
IRIX many, many years ago and merged it with Solaris.  It would have made sense 
to do this back in the late 1990's or very early 2000's since a lot of the 
Hollywood film studios were using SGI IRIX to do the modeling, animation, 
shading , lighting, etc. for their films, and then after the IRIX machines had 
done their job, the footage would get passed on to a massive cluster of Solaris 
SPARC servers that would act as a "rendering farm" that would take the hundreds 
of thousands of individual frames and render them into the actual film. 

It seems like it's much too late for it to be financially worthwhile to merge 
IRIX and Solaris now though, as I'm guessing most of those Hollywood film 
studios have already dumped all their SGI boxes and now use a mix of Mac OS X 
and Linux, am I right?

This leads me to a much bigger issue.

Chairman Larry made a big fuss that he wanted to see an alternative to Android on netbooks.  I have not seen many discussions on this.  However, for pretty much the same reason as I mentioned above, Android may go the same way as Linux did--no netbook manufacturers now are taking it seriously.

We are not talking about just the netbook market (which is expected to reach 30 million units this year), but also AMD's upcoming traditional notebooks which are thin, light-weight, and low-power-consumption, and will cost not much more than the netbooks.

Waynel used to be the biggest OpenSolaris die-hard fan in these forums. Well 
maybe third biggest die-hard after Martin and Joerg, but Waynel actually used 
the official Sun sponsored "Indiana" OpenSolaris distribution whereas I suspect 
Martin and Joerg never touched the Indiana live distribution as they were 
always designing and building their own custom UNIX-based operating systems 
from their own self-modified versions of the Solaris source code.

Because your text suggests you had slightly worse performance between Solaris &

Note, I'm not talking about a mirrored-pool, meaning mirrored drives

doesn't seem to be what I want either as the physical volumes in the
new pool may be a different size than in the old pool.


It sounds like you want the equivalent of zfs send/receive, but for 
pools instead of filesystems.




Does anyone know how to do this?  My only idea at the moment is to
create the new pool, create new filesystems and then use rsync from
the old filesystems to the new filesystems, but it seems like there
should be a way to mirror or replicate the pool itself rather than
doing it at the filesystem level.


I think your best bet is to create the new pool and then use zfs 
send/receive for each filesystem.

I just posted this to that board.  Sorry, I did not realize those other boards 
were outside of the OpenSolaris board.  This post can be deleted on this board. 
 I could not find a way to move or remove this post.  Thanks.

Re: [osol-discuss] Looking to limit SSH brute force connections

2009-07-28 Thread Brian Cameron

Scott:

This seems a better question for security-disc...@opensolaris.org.

Brian


I have recently setup OpenSolaris to use as a file server (I like ZFS) and I connect to this server remotely using SSH.  In the past I used iptable rules on Linux to limit connection attempts to SSH within 60 seconds to 4 attempts.  This eliminated the Brute Force attempts at guessing userids and password, or at least drastically limited them.  


I have been looking at ipfilter which is available for OpenSolaris, is this the 
right tool to limit these login attempts in the same manner as I did with 
iptables or is there a better option on OpenSolaris?  While I have found some 
information on writing ipfilter rules I have not found any examples for 
limiting SSH login attempts.  At least nothing solid that I am certain I can do 
on OpenSolaris.  Thanks in advance.

[osol-discuss] zfs create -V and LDom disk image

2009-07-28 Thread Kevin Longfelllow
Hi,

I followed the example to create a disk image using zfs on page 98 of the LDoms 
1.1 Admin guide and am running into issues.  I created and used them fine 
however the disk images expanded on their own causing all 8 LDoms to fail.  I 
managed to get a few of them back by decreasing the disk image on a few of 
them.  I then set quotas on the top level zfs area for the disk image.  My 
questions is what is the best way to prevent this from happening?  Why no 
mentioned of it in the manual?

Here is my sequence:

zpool create ldmpool
zfs create ldmpool/hostname-1
zfs create -V 99gb ldmpool/hostname-1/disk0

I only left a few gig free on ldmpool thinking the create -V was finite.  It 
appears to not be the case as one of the LDom disk0 went to 105GB filled up 
ldmpool and brought down all 8 LDoms.  What should I do to ensure that only 
99gb is allowed on disk0?  Below is the zfs list of the issue.  Note that 
dnagac08-1 expanded to 105G which filled up ldmpool.  I tried decreasing a few 
with volsize which at least allowed me to get the others working but the ones I 
decreased now panic and will have to be re-imaged.

Re: [osol-discuss] supported attributes for __attribute__

Hello,

there are a few good reference porting manuals and HOWTO's.
Just a quick summary:

http://www.ohse.de/uwe/articles/gcc-attributes.html
http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunStudio/Using+Sun+Studio+for+open+source+apps
http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc/porting.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Studio_%28software%29

First though, you might want to read all bundled man-pages and
documentation that ship with the compilers themselves. Or, if you want
a shortcut, browse through some big existing (relevant) src repo and
look how others did the things you are interested in, accordingly. For
example have a look at ON or x.org (which both include support the 2
compilers).

[osol-discuss] supported attributes for __attribute__

2009-07-28 Thread Vincent Torri
Hey

I would like to know if the following attributes (supported by gcc) are 
supported with Sun compilers, and which version should I test with __SUNPRO_C 
to know if it is supported:

warn_unused_result
nonnull
__deprecated__
malloc
pure
format
format_arg
const

thank you

[osol-discuss] How to "mirror" an entire zfs pool to another pool

2009-07-28 Thread Thomas Walker
We are upgrading to new storage hardware.  We currently have a zfs pool with 
the old storage volumes.  I would like to create a new zfs pool, completely 
separate, with the new storage volumes.  I do not want to just replace the old 
volumes with new volumes in the pool we are currently using.  I don't see a way 
to create a mirror of a pool.  Note, I'm not talking about a mirrored-pool, 
meaning mirrored drives inside the pool.  I want to mirror pool1 to pool2.  
Snapshots and clones do not seem to be what I want as they only work inside a 
given pool.  I have looked at Sun Network Data Replicator (SNDR) but that 
doesn't seem to be what I want either as the physical volumes in the new pool 
may be a different size than in the old pool.

  Does anyone know how to do this?  My only idea at the moment is to create the 
new pool, create new filesystems and then use rsync from the old filesystems to 
the new filesystems, but it seems like there should be a way to mirror or 
replicate the pool itself rather than doing it at the filesystem level.

[osol-discuss] warning with variadic macro

2009-07-28 Thread Vincent Torri
Hey,

i am contributing to a project (the Enlightenment windows manager) and we use 
variadic macros. More precisely, this one:

#  define EINA_ARG_NONNULL(idx, ...) __attribute__ ((nonnull(idx, ## 
__VA_ARGS__)))

and we use it like that (for example):

EAPI void eina_rectangle_pool_free(Eina_Rectangle_Pool *pool) 
EINA_ARG_NONNULL(1);

On Linux, no problem, but on opensolaris, a guy reported the warning using 
SunStudio12 :

"warning: argument mismatch"

I'm not very familiar with variadic macro, and even if google found some pages 
about that (like 
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-code/2008-September/006029.html
 ), i didn't find the solution.

So, is there a flag to pass to the SunStudio12 preprocessor and/or modifying 
the above macro ?

thank you

Vincent Torri

[osol-discuss] Any idea of how to get SEtoolkit NIC statistics on SNV?

2009-07-28 Thread Henry Pepper
Hi

Does anyone have an idea of how to get NIC statistics on SNV?

When trying to add support for a driver, e.g. vr0 you grep for
vr.0.vr0 in the output of dumpkstat.se
But the closest that can be found is link.0.vr0.

http://wikis.sun.com/display/BigAdmin/Performance+Monitoring+Short+Cuts#PerformanceMonitoringShortCuts-AddinganewNIC

Any idea on how to address this issue?

  Thanks
