Re: [osol-discuss] [zones-discuss] Error on zoneadm attach -u when going from b132 to b133

That was a mistake I made the first time I wanted to upgrade a system with zones, doing the detach before the image-update. My zones are fairly minimal, just ‘entire’ and a few extra packages, all from the dev repo. Nothing from contrib in the zones, maybe that might be a difference.

Re: [osol-discuss] Opensolaris 2010.03?
Hi, W. Wayne Liauh píše v út 23. 02. 2010 v 17:10 -0800: But b133 (LiveCD) still failed to boot from two of our three test machines (both are with multi-core, at least 4 GB DDR2, one with ATI HD graphics the other with Intel chip). On the one machine that it successfully boots (HP dv3, 4GB, ATI HD 4200), it keeps asking for password to a wifi network that does not require authentication. Could you send the CR numbers, please?

[osol-discuss] An idea for helping OpenSolaris survive
I feel that your best bet is to just take the code and form an opensource foundation.The issues with licensing and name maybe need to be resolved.However the distro needs a strategy, business plan,revenue projections and reson detre.This may involve change beyond what the community would feel comfortable with.However it would be interesting to set sail in this direction and understand that ex sun products such as MysqL by be incorporated into a product solution which Oracle may even see as a sponsorship proposition.It is unlikely to survive as a technical preoccupation on per se.. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Regards, Paul Yeah, when the news doesn't fit our liking, we can always discredit the source. :-) Having said that, I am more convinced than ever that OpenSolaris does have a very special place. IMNSHO, the old style propaganda machine the old Sun used to employ tends to drive potential developers away, while failing to attract significant number of (dedicated) new users. As we all know, OpenSolaris does have a unique set of features that are critically important in certain areas, and, unlike Linux, it also has a unique history and a noble lineage of established traditions which should make decision-makers feel more comfortable in adopting. Even in the area of desktops, if we are willing to narrow our focus mainly on business desktops, then--amazingly--most of the perceived and acknowledged shortcomings suddenly disappear (or can be managed to disappear). There are, of course, other advantages, e.g., if and when the user base gets too big, who is in the best position to provide services? But that gets in too much of partisanship and my opinions are undoubtedly biased. If you care to walk into a city, county, or even a state building, you will find out that most of the machines there are running Windows XP, some are running Windows 98 (or even Windows 95!) Focusing on business users does not mean that you have to give up home users. Many computer users stick to Windows because that's what's used in their jobs.

What seems like a given are businesses. Businesses require a mix of GUI's and networking. Basically, Workstations. Where Opensolaris needs to excel is in getting more apps running to support businesses. I know a few wish lists were compiled, but not focused towards businesses. So basically, IMO, there should be a page on opensolaris.org that states where Opensolaris is heading. Call it a business plan. Call it focus. It can only help. Linux is to large for this to occur, so Opensolaris may be at an advantage here. Paul ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

An old bug. You need to update the compiler. However, I don't know how to do that on OpenSolaris. I just rsync the updated compiler from a Solaris 10 machine.

[osol-discuss] strange vmstat behaviour ?
Hello, On osol-b133 noticed that the first call to vmstat always yields a significantly different figure for freemem than the subsequent calls : # vmstat 2 kthr memorypagedisk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr cd s0 -- -- in sy cs us sy id 0 0 23 199424 60264 9 61 9 14 29 0 749 8 -1 0 0 679 1652 1387 2 1 97 0 0 48 192448 80700 96 121 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 537 933 446 2 1 98 0 0 48 192368 81176 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 476 894 415 1 0 99 0 0 48 192368 81176 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 478 943 430 0 1 99 Furthermore, if I let one vmstat 2 instance running in a shell, and launch a new one in another, the first call yields a different value than the one reported by the running one. I cannot but think that the value on the first line must be unaccurate, which would mean that the output of vmstat (without the time loop) is unaccurate. I do not see this behaviour in my linux vm guest (gentoo), which reports consistents values even in the first call. Is this behaviour expected ? Is it the same on other opensolaris builds, on SXCE, on solaris 10 ? Is there any obvious explanation I'm missing ?
