CRAN task views are useful, but they seem difficult to write and maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning) and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually. They are also difficult to read because the generated html and .css used are extremely basic, giving an overly dense page. Are there any markdown-like tools for writing a CTV? Is it possible to apply a

Hi, I am wondering if there is a guideline on how to configure ZFS on a server with Oracle database? We are experiencing some slowness on writes to ZFS filesystem. It take about 530ms to write a 2k data. We are running Solaris 10 u5 127127-11 and the back-end storage is a RAID5 EMC EMX. This is a small database with about 18gb storage allocated. Is there a tunable parameters that we can apply to

So Wine's main problem right off the bat, the big elephant in the room nobody really talks much about, is that its *apperance and performance in 2D apps is abysmal. It's odd, because 3D apps (after a small framerate drop) perform just fine. Maybe there's some technical explanation as to why 2D applications feel so sluggish by comparison, but that's not what I'm here to discuss.

I''m a developer working on an application that will potentially be used by around 500,000 users on a daily basis. Plus some internal apps communicating to it via ActionWebServices with a potentially high demand. Our Operations team is helping us define the necessary system architecture, and I have one remaining question: What is the best way to scale the database? I have no expertise in

...in SQA at NeXT taught me to wear many hats. Relevant documentation cross-reference by revisions of a project where solutions worked is also a must. [Works under llvm-2.8, llvm-2.9, clang-2.7, clang-2.8, etc] Like I said, my voice doesn't mean squat, but I'd suggest before trying to put lipstick on a pig, you have the solution completed, tested and fully documented. It goes much farther in convincing people to learn it. By the way, the default Python version on Debian [and it's many spawned Distros] is 2.7. On OS X I've got 2.7-3.2. I've got the same on Linux. On both I hav...

A) Resilver = Defrag. True/false? B) If I buy larger drives and resilver, does defrag happen? C) Does zfs send zfs receive mean it will defrag? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi all, As you might have inferred, I'm in the process of working on some changes to the way LLVM builds. I have outlined a rough proposal below, unless there are any major objections I will probably start committing stuff next week. This message may be verbose, if you want the executive summary, skip to 'What This Means For Jane "LLVM Developer" Doe' at the bottom.

Not sure if it''s been posted yet, my email is currently down... http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2007/10/suns_zfs_is_clo.html Interesting piece. This is the second post from Yager that shows solaris in a pretty good light. I particularly like his closing comment: "If you haven''t checked out ZFS yet, do, because it will eventually become ubiquitously implemented
