[osol-discuss] SUN not doing well under Oracle.

I'm beginning to get a hunch why Oracle is mum about OpenSolaris. Can't stop the sinking ship Oracle needs to make Sun's once-dominant UNIX server business a success to justify the $7.4 billion price tag attached to the acquisition. Critics of the deal noted from the start that this wouldn't

Once again, quarterly revenue drop was due mostly to one-off events. And, as pointed out elsewhere, hardware revenue for this market segment is a significantly smaller chunk of total revenue than for the x64 market. That is, percentage wise, the total amount spent on the

Thanks Eric (and some of the others who replied.) For RC work, the Bazaar method is much less useful (and, can be detrimental to schedules), so it's better to keep the RC work strictly inside the developer community, and exclude the user community for the short period of time it takes to

Brandon, You'll need to do more than that. Don't use mount, use beadm. Worked as a charm, thanks! The best bet is to use b134 from the /dev repository. Yeap, but how stable will it be? My server will be in production, it will be a file server (iscsi, samba, ftp) + zones. However next

As described here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7046 There is a major show stopper in share enumeration of the cifs server. YES, samba has delivered a fix for it, but mind about osol itself howlong some products need to carry such out in the field? So we have trouble here with

I don't know where you got the idea that IBM has frozen development of the POWER architecture and AIX. POWER7 machines are already available and POWER6 were the first to have a decimal floating point unit on silicon. AIX 6 is out and AIX 7 is due this fall. AIX 7 will leverage 1024 threads

I am using DNS. My DNS server is my Wireless Router, actually it is just a proxy, it forwards DNS messages to ISP's DNS server. When I login to osol from another host in the LAN, obviously, the DNS server couldn't reverse resolve the IP inside the LAN. But there is no way to disable DNS reverse
