All, So I have started working with Solaris 10 at work a bit (I''m a Linux guy by trade) and I have a dying nfs box at home. So the long and short of it is as follows: I would like to setup a SATAII whitebox that uses ZFS as its filesystem. The box will probably be very lightly used, streaming media to my laptop and workstation would be the bulk of the work. However I do have quite a

Hi All, Can I get Dtrace command, which is useful for regular system administration like performance issue. Advance Thanks Muthu -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

G''Day Folks, I''ve finally typed up my classic DTrace demo, which I use to introduce people to DTrace (I delivered this at SOSUG#1), http://www.brendangregg.com/DTrace/dtracevstruss.html Here I create a fault and show the difficulty in analysing it using previous tools. Then I compare the impact of analysing the problem using both DTrace and truss. DTrace wins (a lot!).

Hi, In Solairs Dtrace User Guide, page 193, it lists the arguments of ERROR probe. One of these arguments is arg3, it is explained as "The DIF offset into that action or -1 if not applicable". Then what does the abbr. DIF mean? Regards TJ

I've just installed 20050830 from source on an FC4 box. I used the suggested method in the readme: ./tools/wineinstall It appears to work - if I type 'notepad' from a bash terminal, notepad opens right up - all the instructions say to use 'wine notepad' but I don't need to include wine. Just typing 'notepad' starts the program. My question is, where next?

hi all, http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/samba_on_solaris8.html this is in reference to the article posted above. i was able to install samba-3.0.22-1-noads-sunos5.9-sparc.pkg.gz on my Sunfire 280R, testparm went OK, can ping & access SWAT using my Win98 desktop browser. however, when i try accessing the share fold...

...which fires before / after a garbage collection. Is there any interest in merging something like this into R-devel? If yes, I'd like to discuss which probes and what data would be useful / interesting from a developers standpoint.

Hi there, I am trying to diagnose a performance problem on a Sun T5120 running Solaris 10. I see general poor performance using Java and, in particular, loading classes. I have developed a simple java test that loads all of the classes in a Crystal Reports JAR file (around 7000 classes) which takes much longer on the T5120 (40 secs) than on a Core 2 Duo windows PC (5 secs). I recognise that this

Has anyone here had any luck using a CF to SATA adapter? I''ve just tried an Addonics ADSACFW CF to SATA adaptor with an 8GB card that I wanted to use for a boot pool and even though the BIOS reports the disk, Solaris B95 (or the installer) doesn''t see it. I might give the IDE version a go (I really wanted hoT-plug), otherwise I''ll be able to store a couple of thousand

Hi, in preparation to try zfs boot on sparc I installed all recent patches incl. feature patches comming from s10s_u3wos_10 and after reboot finally 137137-09 (still having everything on UFS). Now it doesn''t boot at anymore: ############################### Sun Fire V240, No Keyboard Copyright 2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. OpenBoot 4.22.23, 2048 MB memory installed,

Wouldn''t it be great if the opensolaris community creates a fs fzfs (for flash zfs) that could be the the filesystem for SDXC cards? Two main point for this are already there Sun is a member of SD Card Association and the code writting smart on a flash should be there as well with stuff of l2arc. I think that could give the opensolaris a more visiblie/ markting in the IT space and would

Hi. I installed solaris express developer edition (b79) on a supermicro quad-core harpertown E5405 with 8 GB ram and two internal sata-drives. I installed solaris onto one of the internal drives. I added an areca arc-1680 sas-controller and configured it in jbod-mode. I attached an external sas-cabinet with 16 sas-drives 1 TB (931 binary GB). I created a raidz2-pool with ten disks and one spare.

We''re running a Solaris 10 container, with an Oracle 9.2.0.4 database - every 5-10 min, an Oracle process shoots up (using 20% + CPU) and then goes down in CPU %, doing a [i]pollsys [/i](see it via dtruss). I tried using some of the trace scripts in the Dtracetoolkit to see what the process is doing, but without any luck - also tried with the following, but dtrace process goes up to 30%

I want to configure my zfs like this : concatination_stripe_pool : concatination lun0_controller0 lun1_controller0 concatination lun2_controller1 lun3_controller1 1. There is any option to implement it in ZFS? 2. there is other why to get the same configuration? thanks This message posted from opensolaris.org

I have tried to define a domain or using virt-install both failed. Could some one give me the correct command to do this? I used: virt-install --nographics --paravirt --os-type=solaris --os-variant=opensolaris --ram 1024 --name cam-host --disk path=/dev/dsk/c0t600A0B800049E902000008EB4A9CE744d0p0,driver=phy -l /export/media_images/sol-nv-b121-x86-dvd.iso thx, florian

I''m seeing some pretty pitiful performance using ZFS on a NFS server, with a ZFS volume exported (only with rw=host.foo.com,root=host.foo.com opts) and mounted on a Linux host running kernel 2.4.31. This linux kernel I''m working with is limited in that I can only do NFSv2 mounts... irregardless of that aspect, I''m sure something''s amiss. I mounted the zfs-based
