[osol-discuss] why osol loses it DHCP ip?
Hi, I have an OSOL-2008/11 (maybe) that I can't update because pkg is broken (python errors after an unhappy update) and that I can barely access (they are vmware virtual machines). The problem I have is that the dhcp settings get irregularly lost: sometimes twice a day, sometimes never for weeks. The two osol machines are the only ones in my office that "lose" dhcp, all others (40 or so between linux, windows and macs) work perfectly. The messages I see are just route 0.0.0.0/24 nexthop is not directly connected ifconfig -a shows that interfaces are up but without IPs. What can I do? I'd like to avoid reinstalling them, after all I chose them as a supposedly valid alternative to all other OSes. Thanks. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

But the major problem is not with optimized with ASM routines: most of the times it's with the messy mixture of glu and sun binutils (as, ld and friends), with the reliance on on glibc rather than on libc and so on. I've been developing mplayer for many years and occasionally trying to fix mplayer for Solaris, but every time I retried to compile a fresh svn checkout Solaris was lacking in a different manner, so I simply gave up. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] How to monitor load averages with zones?
Hi, I need to monitor cpu load averages of both the global and the local zones, but I'm experiencing some problem -in the GZ I can't find an option to report cpu and memory usage of the single processes when running prstat with -Z -if I understand correctly the cpu load of each LZ is actually the cpu load of the GZ. Is this true? In this case is there a way to have the *local* cpu load using something else than prstat? -first and foremost: how is the load average calculated? Am I correct if I assume that on a N-cpu server the full utilization is represented by a load average of N ? Do heavy memory and I/O usage affect the load average? (in my experience in linux the load average measure doesn't seem to have the slightest correspondence to the server responsiveness or slowness).

[osol-discuss] Can mysql be slower in a zone?
Hi, I have mysql running in a V20 equipped with 4 GB ram and a hardware raid card, but confined in a zone. It's the only application running, basically the server is all dedicated to mysql. Is it possible that mysql runs slower just for being in the zone? I mean, if I moved it to the global zone could it run faster? I ask it because I see a lot of slow connections going on from the other servers. The other strange thing is that an ssh connection often freezes for several seconds. prstat never shows a instant load higher than 0.5 and no errors are reported in the logs.

[osol-discuss] How a (wrong) accent can lock you out of your server
Hi, I'd like to point out this stupidity in the localization of scp/ssh, that can have *VERY* dangerous consequences (like being locked out of your server). At the first connection ssh asks you if you want to continue the connection towards an unknown host, but the italian-localized version accepts only "sí" as "yes": it doesn't accept 'y' or 'yes'. Read below: Proseguire nella connessione (sí/no)? Sadly that accent is wrong (it should be grave, not acute, and read "sì") and there's no letter " í " on the keyboard. Don't you agree with me that accepting a plain "yes" would make an extremely high amount of (common) sense? Nico ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] DHCP with update of 2 DNS servers?
Hi,
I need to configure a DHCP server in order to update not only the DNS
on the same host but also a secondary DNS on a different host of the
same subnet (yes, paranoia is at work ... ) .
Problem is that only the DNS on the same host is updated.
This is the relevant portion of dhcpd.conf:
ddns-update-style interim;
include "/etc/rndc.key";
zone od.loc. {
primary 127.0.0.1;
key rndckey;
secondary 192.168.0.33;
key rndckey;
}
zone 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. {
primary 127.0.0.1;
key rndckey;
secondary 192.168.0.33;
key rndckey;
}
A manual nsupdate from the terminal works correctly.
Can anyone tell me what options I need to add or change,
please?
Thanks,
Nico

[osol-discuss] Mysql's Innodb immensely slow on ZFS
Hi, yesterday I installed Solaris 01/08 on a Sun's server with two 2Ghz Opterons and 2 GB ram (I don't remember the model of the server but it's one of those 1U rack-mountable servers with -hideous- rocket-loud fans that never slow down, maybe VX2200 ? ) I configured the bundled Mysql 5.0.xx to work on a ZFS pool made on a raid1 on the 2 bundled disks, but although I followed all the tuning tips found in various Sun bloggers, that can be resumed as: - limiting zfs's usage of memory to 256MB (appending to /etc/system set zfs:zfs_arc_max = 0x800 and rebooting, hopefully I did the right thing) - increasing up to 1.5GB the parameter innodb_buffer_pool_size and up to 48M innodb_additional_mem_pool_size (in steps, of course) - trying innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT - zfs's recordsize=16k on that particular pool, set before creating a single file on it the performance is simply despairing. Just to give you and idea: an import from a 7 MB SQL dumpe takes 9 seconds if I set engine=myisam, and 98 seconds if engine=innodb. Considering that both myisam and innodb tables are stored on the same zfs pool and on the same directory I daresay that there's something extremely wrong in the interaction of my innodb with zfs. I hope that someone can help me. Thanks, Nico ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] chrooting ftp users?
Hi, is there a way to configure the ftp server in Solaris in such a way that users be automatically chdir-ed to their home directory and that they see it as / ? I don't care if ftpd actually calls chroot() or not. I tried to set some option in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess, but with miserable results (I find ftpaccess(4) quite unclear) . I know that proftpd or vsftpd would do it, but I'm trying to minimize the installation of third party packages. Thanks, Nico ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I have a similar (but worse) problem: in linux I need to mount the
individual slices from an image file, thus I need to find the
offsets of the slices.
Unfortunately linux's fdisk can't recognize Sun's slices, but the
kernel can (from raw partitions of course).
According to a file in the linux kernel sources the structure is this:
struct sun_disklabel {
unsigned char info[128]; /* Informative text string
*/
struct sun_vtoc {
__be32 version; /* Layout version */
char volume[8]; /* Volume name */
__be16 nparts; /* Number of partitions */
struct sun_info { /* Partition hdrs, sec
2 */
__be16 id;
__be16 flags;
} infos[8];
__be16 padding; /* Alignment padding */
__be32 bootinfo[3]; /* Info needed by mboot */
__be32 sanity; /* To verify vtoc sanity */
__be32 reserved[10]; /* Free space */
__be32 timestamp[8]; /* Partition timestamp */
} vtoc;
__be32 write_reinstruct; /* sectors to skip, writes */
__be32 read_reinstruct; /* sectors to skip, reads */
unsigned char spare[148]; /* Padding */
__be16 rspeed; /* Disk rotational speed */
__be16 pcylcount; /* Physical cylinder count */
__be16 sparecyl; /* extra sects per cylinder */
__be16 obs1; /* gap1 */
__be16 obs2; /* gap2 */
__be16 ilfact; /* Interleave factor */
__be16 ncyl; /* Data cylinder count */
__be16 nacyl; /* Alt. cylinder count */
__be16 ntrks; /* Tracks per cylinder */
__be16 nsect; /* Sectors per track */
__be16 obs3; /* bhead - Label head offset */
__be16 obs4; /* ppart - Physical Partition */
struct sun_partition {
__be32 start_cylinder;
__be32 num_sectors;
} partitions[8];
__be16 magic; /* Magic number */
__be16 csum; /* Label xor'd checksum */
} * label;
I guess that the partitions[8] identifies the slices, correct?
(did I dream that they were 16? )
Please, correct me if Iìm wrong.
Thanks,
Nico

Hi, although I really like Opensolaris I find really hideous having the terminal spit out control sequences when hitting arrow keys and backspace instead of moving the cursor (the only extra key that works correctly is Del, and it works backwards (like backspace)). It's not only hideous, but a serious slowdown factor in emergency situations (as few minutes ago...)
