similar to: No zfs_nocacheflush in Solaris 10?

A question regarding zfs_nocacheflush: The Evil Tuning Guide says to only enable this if every device is protected by NVRAM. However, is it safe to enable zfs_nocacheflush when I also have local drives (the internal system drives) using ZFS, in particular if the write cache is disabled on those drives? What I have is a local zfs pool from the free space on the internal drives, so I''m

Greetings, Last April, in this discussion... http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=143517 ...we never found out how (or if) the Sun 6120 (T4) array can be configured to ignore cache flush (sync-cache) requests from hosts. We''re about to reconfigure a 6120 here for use with ZFS (S10U4), and the evil tuneable zfs_nocacheflush is not going to serve us well (there is a ZFS

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, i have a system connected to an external DAS (SCSI) array, using ZFS. the array has an nvram write cache, but it honours SCSI cache flush commands by flushing the nvram to disk. the array has no way to disable this behaviour. a well-known behaviour of ZFS is that it often issues cache flush commands to storage in order to ensure data

Is it true that Solaris 10 u4 does not have any of the nice ZIL controls that exist in the various recent Open Solaris flavors? I would like to move my ZIL to solid state storage, but I fear I can''t do it until I have another update. Heck, I would be happy to just be able to turn the ZIL off to see how my NFS on ZFS performance is effected before spending the $''s. Anyone

i've applied albert chin's patch on configure.in file: http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-January/005726.html, but i still getting the error: cc: Error: lib/getaddrinfo.c, line 180: In this statement, "EAI_MAX" is not declared.

I''m running Postgresql (v8.1.10) on Solaris 10 (Sparc) from within a non-global zone. I originally had the database "storage" in the non-global zone (e.g. /var/local/pgsql/data on a UFS filesystem) and was getting performance of "X" (e.g. from a TPC-like application: http://www.tpc.org). I then wanted to try relocating the database storage from the zone (UFS

I tried the same work-around on Irix 6.5.15, with both GCC and SGI C compilers. I was able to get it to run and prompt for a password, then it just shut down. Still no solution, but I will continue working. Anyone get it to run on Irix yet? Jim Attempted compilation of openssh v3.7.1p1 on SGI IRIX 6.5.13.

Hi, I tried to compile rsync-2.5.2 on Solaris 5.7 Ultra-2 machine, 5.7 on Ultra-2 is running 64 bit, but, when I ran configure, it said no for largefile, I thought 2.5.2 will support large file? Is that true? Thanks, Jennifer

Dear developers, I discovered that directories created by scp when recursive copying into a sgid directory do not inherit the sgid bit. I believe this is a bug. A patch to fix this is attached.

Hi, I've seen a few messages re. problems with 3.7.1p1 on IRIX 6.5... I'm using 6.5.19 and having no trouble compiling, installing and starting, but sshd just closes the connection with no explanation. debug/verbose modes don't seem to give any clues. Darren Tucker suggested defining BROKEN_GETADDRINFO in config.h, but I find that compilation then fails (assuming I've implemented

Hi, I read some articles on solarisinternals.com like "ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide" on http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide . They clearly suggest to disable cache flush http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide#FLUSH . It seems to be the only serious article on the net about this subject. Could someone here state on this

IRIX 6.5 has the basename() function in libgen. SYNOPSIS cc [flag ...] file ... -lgen [library ...] #include <libgen.h> char *basename (char *path); -- ayamura

Tru64 UNIX has getaddrinfo but not by that name. Including <netdb.h> #defines getaddrinfo to ogetaddrinfo or ngetaddrinfo which exists in /usr/shlib/libc.so. So, AC_CHECK_FUNC(getaddrinfo) isn't enough to test for getaddrinfo. Best to AC_TRY_LINK so the #define takes effect. -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com) -- snip snip --- configure.in.orig Thu Jan 3 19:03:54 2002 +++

I am aware that there have been several posts related to ssh connections hanging, i have tried to read through most of them in the archives... I am posting this in hopes that it may present something new that will further help resolve this problem. The problem i am having appears to be similar to what others have reported where after typing exit in an interactive shell the connection is not

Anyone having good results with 4-STABLE and the 3Ware 9000 series controllers? -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)

Under Solaris 10 on a 4 core Sun Ultra 40 with 20GB RAM, I am setting up a Sun StorageTek 2540 with 12 300GB 15K RPM SAS drives and connected via load-shared 4Gbit FC links. This week I have tried many different configurations, using firmware managed RAID, ZFS managed RAID, and with the controller cache enabled or disabled. My objective is to obtain the best single-file write performance.

Is the use of "0i" a typo in main() from ssh-add.c: struct dest_constraint **dest_constraints = NULL; size_t ndest_constraints = 0i, ncerts = 0; -- albert chin (china at thewrittenword.com)

Version 3.7p1 of OpenSSH can't be compiled on IRIX 6.5 because the file openbsd-compat/inet_ntoa.h is missing. It is possible to compile successfully using this file out of version 3.6.1p2.
