Announcing new direction of Open Source NexentaOS development: NexentaCP (Nexenta Core Platform). NexentaCP is Dapper/LTS-based core Operating System Platform distributed as a single-CD ISO, integrates Installer/ON/NWS/Debian and provides basis for Network-type installations via main or third-party APTs (NEW). First "unstable" b65-based ISO with ZFS/Boot-capable installer available as

Hello everyone. I am having trouble with rsync stopping in the middle of a transfer. Everything works fine for smaller batches of file, but when I try to rsync big groups, it just stops in the middle. I have been using rsync to copy my home directory to an SD card. I recently got a Drobo+Droboshare (NAS) and want to do the same thing to the Drobo, but when I run rsync, it stops somewhere in

Here''s another product which has removed the hassle out of disk management: <http://www.drobo.com/products_demo.aspx> I wonder if they (Data Robotics) will make the Drobo work with ZFS once Leopard is out (since it supports HFS+)? ---8<--- Data Robotics has just introduced Drobo, the world?s first storage robot. Drobo is a direct attached storage array that provides

Hi, Sorry if this is a dumb question but i can''t seem to find an anwser anything close to what i am trying to figure out... I have a dual boot machine with 3 disks - 2 x 1TB mirror OpenSolaris with ZFS root pool 1x 250GB Solaris 10 with ZFS root pool This is a development\testing\home file server machine only. My question is tho, since I can boot into either OpenSolaris or Solaris

It was rumored that Nevada build 105 would have ZFS encrypted file systems integrated into the main source. In reviewing the Change logs (URL''s below) I did not see anything mentioned that this had come to pass. Its going to be another week before I have a chance to play with b105. Does anyone know specifically if b105 has ZFS encryption? Thanks, Jerry -------- Original Message

With the release of the Nevada build 90 binaries, it is now possible to install SXCE directly onto a ZFS root filesystem, and also put ZFS swap onto a ZFS filesystem without worrying about having it deadlock. ZFS now also supports crash dumps! To install SXCE to a ZFS root, simply use the text-based installer, after choosing "Solaris Express" from the boot menu on the DVD. DVD download

Hello All, So My Drobo finished formatting and I added an entry to fstab for it and now I cannot boot the machine. I get an error about fsck.ext3: is a directory while trying to open /drobo and then a mention of a valid super block I had mounted the Drobo as /drobo and in 'fstab' I copied the line for '/' changing to ext3 where it was ext4. I have made a mistake I cannot fix

http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b114/ This URL makes me think that if I just sit down and figure out how to compile OpenSolaris, I can try b114 now^h^h^h eventually ? I am really eager to try out the new quota support.. has someone already tried compiling it perhaps? How complicated is compiling osol compared to, say, NetBSD/FreeBSD, Linux etc ? (IRIX and its quickstarting??) --

Hi All, I have a Drobo, connected to a CentOS 6.4 box. The box sees it as /dev/sdg. I want to format it ext3 (as they dont support ext4) but when I try I get: # fdisk -u /dev/sdg WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdg'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. WARNING: The size of this disk is 17.6 TB (17592186044416 bytes). DOS partition table

Hello Ross, We''re trying to accomplish the same goal over here, ie. serving multiple VMware images from a NFS server. Could you tell what kind of NVRAM device did you end up choosing? We bought a Micromemory PCI card but can''t get a Solaris driver for it... Thanks Gilberto On 7/6/08 9:54 AM, "zfs-discuss-request at opensolaris.org" <zfs-discuss-request at

I''ve installed SXDE (snv_89) and found that the web console only listens on https://localhost:6789/ now, and the module for ZFS admin doesn''t work. When I open the link, the left frame lists a stacktrace (below) and the right frame is plain empty. Any suggestions? I tried substituting different SUNWzfsgr and SUNWzfsgu packages from older Solarises (x86/sparc, snv_77/84/89,

I was shocked to find no RCS on SXCE 107. I needed it to update some RCS archives I had copied over. No problem - go to sunfreeware and copy it over. No OpenSolaris branch? The Solaris 10 package should work. Only the package install appears to complete and does not - as documented only in a log file, not on my screen. OK then, the source for RCS should be easily compiled and installed, I

I want to run a non-global zone as a virtual router and run ipnat inside the non-global zone, however, when I try to enable routing it can''t find route:default or network/ipfilter. I''m using exclusive IP inside the zones and using OpenSolaris 2008.11 build 110. I''ve tried sparse root and whole root zones without success. I''ve read blogs and posts and

I''ve been using a 5-disk raidZ for years on SXCE machine which I converted to OSOL. The only time I ever had zfs problems in SXCE was with snv_120, which was fixed. So, now I''m at OSOL snv_111b and I''m finding that scrub repairs errors on random disks. If I repeat the scrub, it will fix errors on other disks. Occasionally it runs cleanly. That it doesn''t

Hi, I was trying to download the Crossbow ISO from : http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots/ under "Crossbow Beta iso images June 6 2008" and it failed. Does anyone know of a link which is working ? Thanks for any pointers ! Regards, Sanjeev.

Can anyone answer if we will get zfs de-duplication before SXCE EOL? If possible also anser the same on encryption? Thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, I was playing around with NexentaCP and its zfs boot facility. I tried to figure out how what commands to run and I ran zpool history like this # zpool history 2007-06-20.10:19:46 zfs snapshot syspool/rootfs at mysnapshot 2007-06-20.10:20:03 zfs clone syspool/rootfs at mysnapshot syspool/myrootfs 2007-06-20.10:23:21 zfs set bootfs=syspool/myrootfs syspool As you can see it says I did a

I?ve spend a few hours reading through the forums and wiki and honestly my head is spinning. I have been trying to study up on either buying or building a box that would allow me to add drives of varying sizes/speeds/brands (adding more later etc) and still be able to use the full space of drives (minus parity? [not sure if I got the terminology right]) with redundancy. I have found the ?all in
