It's not there in OpenSolaris. In Solaris 10 it's: title Solaris failsafe kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -s module /boot/x86.miniroot-safe So the question is how this should look for OpenSolaris.

Re: [osol-help] Recovering data
I tried something on my PowerEdge, which was once used as a Windows server. Since I haven't touched (yet ;) ) the second drive, after trial and error I managed to mount this drive (which I replaced from the second to the third bay) with something like this: mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c4t2d0p1 /mnt I have no clue whether this is FAT32 or NTFS. You mentioned the Attansic Gigabit ethernet adapter. For my desktop I have actually the same on my Asus P5KR. I tried to wrap the Windows driver but that failed, so I needed to add a PCI ethernet adapter.

Mounted on rpool/export/home means it's mounted on a zfs file system. So if the goal is to get it onto zfs, that's already done. If you want to rename it, but are happy with it in the rpool pool, then you can just use zfs rename - but it has to be renamed to rpool/something, you can't "rename" it into a different pool. If you want to actually move the contents of the home directories to new pool, then use zfs send to dump it and zfs receive to restore it on a new one. > Is "zfs create tank/home/user", "chown user userfolder", "chgrp group > userfolder" needed to add users? Of course, after you've moved the directories, you'll need to either use usermod -d to let the system know that those directories are now in a new location, or unmount/destroy the old rpool/export/home and mount the new one one /export/home. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.

Don't know if anyone has a 4.x yet, I think that was, as usual, not as straightforward as it should have been; darn developers keep using Linux-isms instead of writing portable code. Anyway, KDE 4 is apparently still a little controversial or something, somehow less that what people expected I guess. Haven't seen it myself... Also, I think it's been on the Companion CD in the past; probably not super-current either, but hey, _you're_ not doing the work, why complain? There's also specifically a project here to make it happen (which doesn't necessarily imply it'd ever get _integrated_).

[osol-help] How to setup/move home directories to ZFS?
(Sorry if this is the wrong section, it might belong in the storage section but I think it's more a basic sysadm issue.) I've been googling and reading up but I'm still stuck. I'm trying to move the home directories from "/export/home" to zfs "tank/home". What is the best way to accomplish this? I tried creating "tank/home" and mount it "/export/home" but that didn't work since it's already mounted "rpool/export/home". I think (hope) I'm missing something obvious here :) Is "zfs create tank/home/user", "chown user userfolder", "chgrp group userfolder" needed to add users?

Just an advice:- I believe that Linux Rescue Disk ( kernel 2.6.21 or higher) will mount NTFS partition (ntfs-3g or something like this) and detect more NICs then any Live CD based on Solaris.

[osol-help] Network with multiple network adapters
I was just wondering, how is OpenSolaris acting if there are two network adapters? I have one onboard gigabit ethernet adapter (e1000g) and an additional 'rtsl0' PCI network adapter. When installing OpenSolaris the nwam did not work and I managed to plumb 'e1000g'. For Belenix I just connected both interfaces to the router and the 'nwam' made connection through the 'rtsl0' interface. What is actually happening when you have multiple network adapters? Can I connect those interfaces to the same hub? This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
