Re: [osol-discuss] The Illumos Project
One thing I didn't figure out from the announcement, since illumos starts as an ON without corporate burden, is there game plan to also get a sample distro using illumos ON? Nexenta might be one but probably a more desktop-oriented one is needed, the need is like what it was at the time project Indiana is created. ON itself does not "market" on its own, nor it is readily usable by who does not build everything from the scratch. Still, wish all the best to the illumos project and much much appreciation to you for putting up this effort. Thank you. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] The Illumos Project
Congrats on the new project! A quick business-case question for you: is there a way you might offer something reasonable in return for some financial support / donations from the community? There are a lot of us who depend on OpenSolaris, and are frustrated by the lack of updates, bug fixes, etc. This is, as you say, like an insurance policy. And especially if, going forward, the community coalesces around this. The (free) advice I've gotten here on this forum, for example, blows anything I've ever seen elsewhere (Linux, in particular, not even thinking about the monstrosity from Redmond) out of the water. For those of us who are building infrastructure around OpenSolaris now, a free version that will be maintained and updated and bug-fixed is an important investment in the future, so we aren't orphaned. Would community contributions now speed the process, and possibly lead to a full-fledged distribution? Or are you guys already all set as far as money goes? And is there something you might offer those of us who can pony up some reasonable amount of cash to help you developers along? Secondarily, is there any possible way you can talk to NVIDIA and get CUDA support running with this? That would be an enormous watershed for some of us who do GPU computing for scientific work. I need a robust filesystem and management (ZFS is my only choice now), and it's painful to have to keep Linux around mainly for CUDA. That would be huge, if you guys could swing it somehow.

[osol-discuss] LTFS and LTO-5 Tape Drives
Has anyone looked into the new LTFS on LTO-5 for tape backups? Any idea how this would work with ZFS? I'm presuming ZFS send / receive are not going to work. But it seems rather appealing to have the metadata properly with the data, and being able to browse files directly instead of having to rely on backup software, however nice tar may be.

[osol-discuss] When is the L2ARC refreshed if on a separate drive?
I'm running a mirrored pair of 2 TB SATA drives as my data storage drives on my home workstation, a Core i7-based machine with 10 GB of RAM. I recently added a sandforce-based 60 GB SSD (OCZ Vertex 2, NOT the pro version) as an L2ARC to the single mirrored pair. I'm running B134, with ZFS pool version 22, with dedup enabled. If I understand correctly, the dedup table should be in the L2ARC on the SSD, and I should have enough RAM to keep the references to that table in memory, and that this is therefore a well-performing solution. My question is what happens at power off. Does the cache device essentially get cleared, and the machine has to rebuild it when it boots? Or is it persistent. That is, should performance improve after a little while following a reboot, or is it always constant once it builds the L2ARC once? Rather informally, it sometimes seems that the hard drives are a bit slower the first time they load a program now, vs. when I didn't have the SSD installed as a cache device on the pool. But this is mainly an impression. Thanks for your help! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] Trouble formating usb external hard drive.
I'd say correct sequence of commands should be:
pfexec fdisk /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p0
In fdisk, select and delete (all) partition(s), then create one
partition of FAT32 ('C') type. Save, exit.
mkfs -F pcfs -o fat=32 /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p0:c
Note that you instruct mkfs to use p0, not p1.
However, some other scheme might be more reliable or convenient, ie you
could format drive with ZFS, leave it attached to Solaris machine and
share its contents over SMB/Windows network with Windows machine. Or
vice versa (with NTFS).

Re: [osol-discuss] Trouble formating usb external hard drive.
Tried to partition the drive with everything from 100G to 1Tbyte.

Don't have to use the 1Tbyte. I was able to get a 1Tbyte drive for the price of a 320Gbyte drive.

Re: [osol-discuss] Trouble formating usb external hard drive.
Hi Mike, what is the partition table on the drive? Also, can you try rmformat with p0 which is whole disk? Regards, Milan Cermak Dne 3.08.10 14:55, Mike DeMarco napsal(a): I have a 1Tbyte usb external HD that I want to be able to read with windows and b134. I have tried all of the below but am unable to get solaris to read and write to it. mkfs -F pcfs -o fat=32 /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p1 *Bad Sig on master boot record! mkfs -F pcfs -o fat=32 /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p1:c *No such logical drive (missing extended partition entry) rmformat -F long /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 *Not a removable device rmformat -F long /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p1 *DKIOREMOVABLE ioctl failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 /mnt *mount: /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 is not a DOS filesystem. mount -F ntfs /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 /mnt touch /mnt/testfile *cannot create regular file /mnt/testfile: Read-only file system The ntfs mount is after installing FSWpart& FSWfsmis just need this drive to work like a memory stick. so I can move files between my duel boots.

Re: [osol-discuss] Trouble formating usb external hard drive.
Yes, the FSW* packages only perform read-only access to NTFS... You might want to format that 1TB disk as FAT under Windows... But I assume, access to a 1TB disk via the PCFS driver is not the best option... ;-) What's the size of the things you want to move between the dual boot stuff, do you really need 1 TB?
