[osol-discuss] kernel panic on zpool import

2009-10-11 Thread Darren Taylor
I have searched the forums and google wide, but cannot find a fix for the issue 
I'm currently experiencing. Long story short - I'm now at a point where I 
cannot even import my zpool (zpool import -f tank) without causing a kernel 
panic

I'm running OpenSolaris snv_111b and the zpool is version 14. 

This is the panic from /var/adm/messages;  (full output attached);

genunix: [ID 361072 kern.notice] zfs: freeing free segment 
(offset=3540185931776 size=22528)

This is the output I get from zpool import;

# zpool import
  pool: tank
id: 15136317365944618902
 state: ONLINE
status: The pool was last accessed by another system.
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier and
the '-f' flag.
   see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY
config:

tankONLINE
  raidz1ONLINE
c9t4d0  ONLINE
c9t5d0  ONLINE
c9t6d0  ONLINE
c9t7d0  ONLINE
  raidz1ONLINE
c9t0d0  ONLINE
c9t1d0  ONLINE
c9t2d0  ONLINE
c9t3d0  ONLINE

I tried pulling back some info via this zdb command, but i'm not sure if i'm on 
the right track here (as zpool import seems to see the zpool without issue). 
This result is similar from all drives;

# zdb -l /dev/dsk/c9t4d0

LABEL 0

failed to unpack label 0

LABEL 1

failed to unpack label 1

LABEL 2

failed to unpack label 2

LABEL 3

failed to unpack label 3

I also can complete zdb -e tank without issues – it lists all my snapshots and 
various objects without problem (this is still running on the machine at the 
moment) 

I have put the following into /etc/system;

set zfs:zfs_recover=1
set aok=1 

i've also tried mounting the zpool read only with zpool import -f -o ro tank 
but no luck.. 

I dont know where to go next? – am I meant to try and recover using an older 
txg? E.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can offer advice on how to resolve 
this issue as the pool contains irreplaceable photos. Unfortunately I have not 
done any backups for a while as I thought raidz would be my savour. :( 

please help

Dear Alan,

So, all the users with no shell specified in /etc/passwd had to be changed,  
done.

next is: Accessories-Terminator doesn't work.
and sometimes running tasks of previously logout users hold up CPU cycles.

I'm seriously considering putting Mwm into Xclients and not to use fancy 
interfaces.

Best wishes,

Re: [osol-discuss] solaris 32bit broken - so when will it get discontinued ?

2009-10-11 Thread Richard L. Hamilton
 What makes you think a company would necessarily
 _have_ a policy on something like that
 
 they make it available and i don`t read from sun
 something like please don`t use, we don`t support it
 as good as 64bit
 
 if i would readmade just for your convenience, use
 at your own risk somewhere that would be something
 different.
 
 it`s just that i like to know it solaris 32bit is a
 dead child for sun or not and if it`s having really
 severe issues or if this is just FUD from single
 individuals...

 If it were me, I'd say ok for an older desktop or laptop, but I'd prefer the 
best I
could afford for any kind of server.  Besides, zfs on a file or media server 
would
probably be happier with more RAM than most 32-bit only systems can handle.

So...still useful?  Depending on the use, sure.  As good as 64-bit?  Maybe not,
even outside of any reliability concerns.

In the long run, I suspect 32-bit of any OS will only be on embedded devices,
phones, GPS receivers, and so on.  Maybe on SCs for larger systems, too. :-)

 Harry,

Well yes, of course, I know about pfexec, gksu or just su or sudo or in
fact just starting a root shell.

But then that isn't using the provided icon is it?

I'm asking about the icon specifically.

For example... I tried adding pfexec to the call, using `properties'
on the icon but I'm still not allowed to make changes if I start the
pkg manager with the icon.

In fact... even with the command you suggested: 

   pfexec packagemanager  

I'm still not allowed to make changes like setting the publisher or
whatever. But again that is by-passing the icon anyway.

for me `roles' shows:

  postgres,root,zfssnap

Do I need something more there?

Harry,
Icon on the desktop is invoking:

gksu packagemanager

Which de facto is calling pfexec.

So it looks like your privilages are broken. Here is what I have for my

   In osol you should enable CUPS as mentioned here:

I'm assuming that the SANE support for this comes from the HPLIP SANE 
driver and not one of the drivers in the SANE distribution.  The HPLIP 
SANE driver isn't delivered until build 126.

Re: [osol-discuss] How to configure a new window manager in OpenSolaris?

2009-10-11 Thread Brian Cameron

Pen-Yuan:


Please excuse my ignorance as a totally new user of OpenSolaris (and unix/linux 
systems!).
Is there a way to easily install alternative window mangers such as Openbox or 
Fluxbox for this system? I've got two questions that are more specific:

1. Are there any specific tips for compiling and installing these window 
managers in OpenSolaris?

2. How do I add them to the sessions menu at the login screen? What files 
should I configure and where should I place .Xclient files, if at all?

Thank you very much!


By default, OpenSolaris ships with two window managers: compiz and
metacity.  You can switch by going to Preference-Appearance and
go to the Visual Effects tab.  If None is chosen, then metacity
is used.  If any other choice is selected, then compiz is used.

The spec-files-extra SVN repository has a number of alternative window 
managers you can use, such as enlightenment, mutter, windowmaker,

xmonad, fluxbox, openbox, LXDE, etc.  Information about spec-files-extra
is here:

  http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/spec-files-extra/

To build these spec-files, you need to install and use the CBE.
Instructions are here:

  http://opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/contributing/building/

If you run gconf-editor, and go to the key:
desktop-gnome-session-required_components, then you can
specify a different window manager program if you install one.
Whatever window manager is specified in this key will be used
with GNOME.

However, some alternative window managers install a desktop
file to /usr/share/xsessions, so that you can launch them via
picking an alternative session from the login screen, GDM.

[osol-discuss] 64-bit embedded technology

2009-10-11 Thread Dennis Clarke

[ taken from some other thread that should die .. real soon now ]
 In the long run, I suspect 32-bit of any OS will only be on embedded
 devices,
 phones, GPS receivers, and so on.  Maybe on SCs for larger systems, too.

What do we have for 64-bit embedded processor technology? There is the
UltraSparc IIi that was in the little Netra units a while ago. Those were
low cache and not too quick but certainly 64-bit. What else is there that
would fit on a really small motherboard and run off a car battery for a
week?

The main driver for 64 bit is the extend address space and applications 
that use it.  Such applications haven't really made an impact on the 
embedded space yet.



There is the
UltraSparc IIi that was in the little Netra units a while ago. Those were
low cache and not too quick but certainly 64-bit. What else is there that
would fit on a really small motherboard and run off a car battery for a
week?

  

Intel Atom, ARM, PowerPC, take your pick.

 In the long run, I suspect 32-bit of any OS will only be on embedded
 devices,
 phones, GPS receivers, and so on.  Maybe on SCs for larger systems,
 too.


 What do we have for 64-bit embedded processor technology?

None of those are 64-bit. That was what I was thinking. Somehow my inner
geek wants a hand held device with 16GB of ECC memory and a 64bit CMT
processor that also includes mirrored SSD storage. All about the size of
an iPhone but at lower cost than say, a Porsche.

Hi Dennis,

There are the 64-bit VIA Nano and Intel Atoms like the Intel Atom 330 you may 
have overlooked. Also, modern PowerPC chips are 64-bit. 

You can pop in that 16GB RAM and explore strange new worlds...today...

[osol-discuss] R a stistical package

2009-10-11 Thread Shizoom Wang
I am trying to install R, a statistical package that is very popular among real 
statitical users.  However, I cannot even make through the configure step.

Is there any one succeeded in doing so?

2009-10-11 Thread Orvar Korvar
Look for prebuilt binaries. Google. Also, look at blastwave.org opencsw.org etc
and as a last resort, install R for Linux ontop Solaris:
A) Install VirtualBox and install Linux, and then install R for Linux.
B) Install Brandz, and install Linux R.

 Microsoft has announced that the next release windows
 8 will be a 128 bit system.Apart from haveing few
 applications,isv,isv,on their side.Is this a
 marketing gimmick or saine thinking? Will opensolaris
 work on 128 bit?
