I'm pretty sure this is a dependency thing because if I do a full 
install rather than "Core System Support" everything seems to work 
find and I can reboot into b128.



These errors you are getting come from this section of create_ramdisk:

if [ $format = ufs ] ; then
   # calculate image size
   getsize

   # check to see if there is sufficient space in tmpfs
   #
   tmp_free=`df -b /tmp | tail -1 | awk '{ printf ($2) }'`
   (( tmp_free = tmp_free / 3 ))


It would seem (from experimentation with failing commands in the 
pipeline) that one of df / tail / awk failed. It would seem to be df:


df: Could not find mount point for /tmp 


So, as a starting point, we need to see why df is complaining. What is 
the output of the following commands (run from before the bfu starts):


   1) type df
   2) df -b /tmp
   3) df /tmp
   4) grep /tmp /etc/mnttab

[osol-discuss] Very slow boot time ( > 35minutes)

2009-11-30 Thread Chris
Just in the last week, I've started to experience very slow boot times, upwards 
of 35minutes.  Looking in the log, I see the following message repeated for 
around 30 minutes before the boot finally completes

It may or may not be relevant, but I briefly did install an ide (ata) disk in 
the box about a week ago.  Normally, the box includes 4 sata disks and no pata 
disks.

What is going wrong with the boot process and what can I do to return to the 
more usual 3-5minute boot time?

zfs list reports 773 snapshots.  Most of those are from the auto snapshot 
service.  I have 33 zfs file systems.

The auto snapshot service has been running for a long time.  I wouldn't think 
there would have been a significant change in the number of snapshots in the

[osol-discuss] attaching 2nd interface to a non-routed network

2009-11-30 Thread Eugene Vilensky
Greetings,

I've manually configured two network interfaces on two very different subnets.


# netstat -r

Routing Table: IPv4
 Destination   Gateway   Flags  Ref Use Interface
  - - -- -
default  140.yyy.yyy.yyy UG1   2310
140.yyy.yyy.yyy xxx.xxx.edu  U 1274 bge0
172.16.0.0   172.16.0.139 U 1  2 bge1


bge0 is correct, but I cannot get any traffic for bge1.
172.16.0.139/16 is the ipaddress of bge1.  bge1 is attached to a
layer2 switch and shouldn't have any routing.
should the gateway entry for this interface be deleted, set to the
local interface IP as is currently, or something else?

thanks all!

Re: [osol-discuss] How do I install patches for sun studio 12 update 1 for opensolaris?

2009-11-30 Thread Kuldip Oberoi

Hi Keith,

Are you on an OpenSolaris 2009.06, a more recent build, or something else?

We are planning on updating the /dev repo with SS12u1 + patches, likely 
during the build 128 timeframe, b/c of some issues we've seen on OSol 
builds after 2009.06 (116 and later to be exact).

People who want a 'rock solid' version of Solaris should, at this stage, still 
be using Solaris 10 (which does, indeed, generate a great deal of support 
income for Sun).

No firm commitments as regards to time, but there are two projects
underway (one pretty complete but not integrated) in the Caiman project
which will address bootable SPARC installation media.  The first is the
text installer project.  The second is the bootable AI project.  The
latter should be available 'soon' in the development builds.  It is a
piece of cd media that performs an automated installation entirely from
media instead of having to set up an AI server and whatnot.

As of last week the versions of Sun Studio (12u1, express) available
through the dev repository can not build ~b128 ON because it gets
stuck trying to build ksh93 components[1].

1. http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=116483#437006

I ran into many other problems with C++ code as well.  If memory
serves, this thread[2] discusses the type of problems I saw.

2. http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=110262

With slight modifications[3] I was able to get a good build with the
Sept 2009 CBE[4].

3. http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=118399&tstart=0
4. http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+tools/sun_studio_12_tools

It looks like there might be an effort[5] with the Use Case Project to
fix this up.  Rich may appreciate a little help with this.

The hardware is a shuttle X27D with an SSD 64GB, the only thing is I keep 
getting this error message over and over. I googled the error and could trace 
back a similar error in 2007 !! The  workaround was/is to disable a driver

Anybody knows how to resolve this?

Hi Ted,

I recommend that you post on the device driver discuss forum and/or get in 
contact with Garret D'Amore (see URL link below):

  http://gdamore.blogspot.com/2009/08/test-marvell-yukon-2-ethernet-driver.html

He is a device driver engineer / UNIX jedi master that works on Solaris and 
NetBSD and I have a vague suspicion that he wrote a lot of the code that is in 
the yge driver and would be able to debug and troubleshoot your problem very 
quickly.

Re: [osol-discuss] Is there a driver for Marvell?

2009-11-30 Thread Anon Y Mous
This is the official "yge" Marvell Yukon driver that is going to be 
incorporated into future builds of OpenSolaris:

  http://gdamore.blogspot.com/2009/08/test-marvell-yukon-2-ethernet-driver.html

It should already be in there by default if you're running one of the newer, 
more bleeding edge development builds of Opensolaris. If you're having problems 
with it, you can try contacting Garret D'Amore or one of the other device 
driver developers and see if they can help you.

An older device driver that used to work well for me in the past was the 
"YukonX" driver (see link below):

  http://weblogs.java.net/blog/2008/05/27/opensolaris-200805-meet-macbook-pro

But I recommend not using that one anymore as it is not written or maintained / 
supported by Sun. It's better to just start off using Garret D'Amore's newer 
(and vastly improved) driver now so that way you don't need to un-install the 
yukonx driver later on when you want to upgrade to a newer build of OpenSolaris 
some time in the future.

Re: [osol-discuss] any work on bug ID 6807184

2009-11-30 Thread Anon Y Mous
Is there any word on when this improved device driver will be incorporated into 
an "official" build of OpenSolaris Indiana or Solaris Express distributed by 
Sun? The URL for the bug id is here:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6807184

The reason I'm asking is because I have a bunch of motherboards with RealTek 
NIC's in them and I want to install OpenSolaris on them and run them as servers 
and buy support from Sun and have my hardware and software setup be "officially 
supported".  I'm sure you guys can understand why my bosses would not want to 
use 3rd party patches that would take them "off the supported reservation" 
because the patches aren't officially blessed by Sun's support team and 
distributed as part of the official OpenSolaris Indiana distribution that Sun 
sells support for.

On a different note I don't know why Sun doesn't just give Masayuki Murayama 
"core device driver contributor" status so that he can freely work on fixing 
bugs in NIC drivers without having to run through the whole "sponsorship 
obstacle course". If you look at how many Solaris device drivers he has written 
over the years, I think he has earned the it.

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris Cluster

2009-11-30 Thread Anon Y Mous
Hey Leoric, have you read the OpenSolaris Bible yet:

http://www.amazon.com/OpenSolaris-Bible-Wiley-Nicholas-Solter/dp/0470385480/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259649986&sr=8-1

One of the authors of the OpenSolaris Bible is Nicholas A. Solter, who is one 
of the core contributors to the OpenSolaris HA Clusters group. Thus it is not 
surprising that Chapter 16 of the OpenSolaris Bible, which is called 
"Clustering OpenSolaris for High Availability" has the one of the best 
introductions to Sun's cluster software that I have ever read. The O.S. Bible 
also has the most clear and easy to understand introduction to dtrace that I 
have ever read as well... IMO the chapter on Dtrace alone is worth the price of 
the book, never mind the other good info on zones, fault management 
architecture, Link Aggregation, CIFS, iSCSI, xVM, SNMP, etc. If you have more 
than a passing interest in OpenSolaris, it's really worth tracking down a copy 
of the book if you haven't already.

I'm running OpenSolaris 2009.06.

I've twice tried updating to the development version, the latest being SVN_125. 
 I've only been able to get it to boot to console - which it does manage in 
much less time than 35+ minutes.

I'm haven't figured out what I need to do to get it passed the console.
  


How did you upgrade it to snv_125 then?

It may or may not be relevant, but I briefly did install an ide (ata) disk in 
the box about a week ago.  Normally, the box includes 4 sata disks and no pata 
disks.

What is going wrong with the boot process and what can I do to return to the 
more usual 3-5minute boot time?
  



try to boot with -kv and -m verbose options

Re: [osol-discuss] Why is using Package Manager such a pain in the A$$?

2009-11-30 Thread Anon Y Mous
Is anybody interested in tacking a crack at re-writing IPS in the C programming 
language if that would make it run faster? 

Maybe it might be useful add an optional choice where local OpenSolaris user's 
groups could use an algorithm similar to bit-torrent to accelerate the 
downloading of packages from a distributed network of "volunteer" package 
seeders.

As it is right now, apt-get on Nexenta seems to run subjectively faster than 
IPS on OpenSolaris Indiana for whatever reason.

Re: [osol-discuss] *.deb equivalent in IPS

2009-11-30 Thread Anon Y Mous
If you're using Solaris 10 or Solaris Express, the older "SysV" packages do let 
you download a package from a remote FTP server and then install it using the 
"pkgadd -d" command.

OpenSolaris still supports legacy SysV packages and the "pkgadd -d" command for 
backwards compatibility with Solaris 10 provided that you have the 
"SUNWpkgcmds" package installed in whatever server or zone you are trying to 
install the packages in to. The SUNWpkgcmds package should be automatically 
installed in the global zone by default if you are using OpenSolaris versions 
2008.05 through 2009.06 or later. In non-global ipkg zones you install it 
through IPS by typing in:

 pkg install SUNWpkgcmds

to check if you have it installed type in either of these commands:

(1) The SysV command:

 pkginfo | grep SUNWpkgcmds

or

(2) The IPS command:

   pkg info SUNWpkgcmds

Re: [osol-discuss] IRQ confilct warning logged at the console.

2009-11-30 Thread Anon Y Mous
Hi ejannet,

Can you try running these commands:

  pfexec scanpci

  prtdiag -v

and copy and paste the output here?


Also try running this command:

  pfexec intrstat

and then hit control C after the first couple of pages of output and then copy 
and paste that output here as well. The "intrstat" command gives you statistics 
about the interrupts. Type in:

  man intrstat

at the command line to read more about it.
