Re: [osol-discuss] Performance of opensolaris
Hello, The main problem with databasases on ZFS is that ZFS does not like synchronous writes. If you want to use ZFS for PostgreSQL or any other database you need tune ZFS and PostgreSQL configuration. Easiest way is to put XLOG on the separate UFS disk mounted with diretio. If you want to use ZFS only look on following blogs: http://blogs.sun.com/jkshah/category/PostgreSQL http://blogs.sun.com/paulvandenbogaard/category/PostgreSQL http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide Please let me know if something help you.

[osol-discuss] Moving hard drive to new machine
Currently I have a 150G drive in an e-machines pc with 2G of memory and have one internal NIC and pci NIC's. It's a single CPU machine. Using OpenSolaris 2009.06. I have a number of vnic and etherstub devices setup and have 5 VirtualBox instances running in non-global zones each running an instance of FreeBSD. Because of the setup the system is sluggish, but not so much due to memory, but due to CPU exhaustion. If I had an X2250 or another server that has 2 CPU's and 2 cores, what problems would I have to move the current hard drive into the X2250? I know the NIC driver would change but the two zones using afe0 and rtls0 currently could be changed to use bge0/1 or whatever driver is in the new machine. I've done a swap in the past on Sun Fire servers using Solaris 9 on sparc. Other than the NIC changes would there be anything else that would prevent a swap to a new machine? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] sendmail null client with alias support
Hi, I'd like to configure sendmail as a null client, but with alias support, so it would relay most of the mail unchanged to a main smtp server, excepted the one for the administrative accounts (typically root). I succeeded to have the alias and the null client feature, but not both at the same time. Can someone give a hint or a pointer to some relevant documentation?

I agree and would send hardware to troubleshoot a unique problem but this is a common problem on all RTL8111/8168b chipset.

May be not easy to prepare full online DC version, but it's possible to add possibility for some packages customization, then check deps and create custom iso. I think the right answer might be to create an online tool for distribution constructor and find community sites to host it.

Maybe, it is better to compare it with Mac OS X since on the same hardware same software run dramatically faster on Mac than on Windows XP/Vista. I don't have Windows on any of my computers at this time. So, im sorry I cant compare or benchmark at this time. I have run some benchmarks in the past tho.. They can be found here : http://wiki.winehq.org/BenchMark-0.9.33 Wine 0.9.49 Benchmarks Benchmarking Wine on FreeBSD 7 Movies of PCMark 04 - 3DMark 2000 - 2001SE - 2003 in Wine 3DMark 06 Score on Wine 0.9.51 3DMark 05 Score on Wine 0.9.49 PCMark04 Score on Wine 0.9.49 Movies of Aquamark 3 & GL Excess in Wine or http://www.wine-reviews.net/archive.html#catid54 As you can see the benchmarks are getting old, ive been busy and haven't really had time to run the benchmarks on more recent Wine builds. Also, I would like to know what is advantage of Bordeaux over WINE? With version 1.8.2 we have bundled cabextract, wget and unzip, Bordeaux also comes with install scripts for each of the apps we support. And a very simple little GTK front-end.. It's in need of a major re-write to be honest. In our SVN we have Wine 1.1.26 building and plan to bundle it next.. The three tools above were mostly test cases for our build script. We also plan to include some hacks, like what CodeWeavers does, but were also going to include the unsupported DIB Engine see : http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421 and a hack to get around ddraw painting the screen black with certain apps like QuickTime, ITunes and others. We also have some others hacks in mind, but that will give you a idea of what we plan to do next. When do you plan to support the latest products from Adobe? We support PhotoShop CS and CS2, I don't have CS3 at this time... Can I ask what apps you would like to see supported? By the way, it is a great news and price is very affordable even for people in development countries. Yea, and all the money we take in goes toward hacking hours, I'm a huge fan of Open Source Software btw.. But it's hard to take time off from work or pay people to do this type of work for free... We give back all our Wine changes btw.. here is a recent example : http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2009-July/076251.html Uros Nedic Belgrade, Serbia P.S: Please, be honest in answers since this is community of software engineers and any 'marketing language' will only diminish your brand in our community. :) Cheers, Tom -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Mobile broardband world
A wake up call or observation a storm is approaching? This is also blogged on the same subject: In 2008 Dr Alastair Brydon, Analysys Mason Associate Dr Mark Heath, Analysys Mason Associate published research on wireless network traffic 2008-2015. In essence this research backs independent research published this month of forecasts of unprecedented usage of mobile data services significantly, driven by the rapid take-up of smartphones, such as the 3G iPhone, and of plug-and-play USB (HSPA) modems. Currently opensolaris does not support hot plugging of mobile phone dongles despite warnings from BSC consulting UK that Opensolaris cannot expect mainstream mobile adoption by major OEM or new adopters without meeting this customer minimum requirement. Given that Oracle has announced the completion of its take over of Sun later summer 2009 there is some uncertainty not of the continued development of the opensolaris community but the ownership and strategy post Oracle takeover. It is hoped that new leadership of the Opensolaris community will focus on what OS attributes need to be developed as a matter of urgency to increase adoption rates. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
