Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Status of VAAI
Someone needs to take the time to port the Illumos-nexenta bits upstream. Nobody has yet stepped up to the plate.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Status of VAAI
I am a programmer but not for OS development but in the GUI/ usability area otherwise I would help (can help with testing) It is really a pity. Ragarding storage and usability, Solaris and OmniOS is far better than Linux that I use as well for my ZFS GUI. With the newest features that Nexenta integrates into NexentaStor (beside VAII this is SMB2 and failure management on slow disks), Illumos has the ability to be the number 1 storage OS - even in the OpenSource or low-cost area, better than BSD or Linux. If Nexenta would give Illumian more love, it might become the leading free Illumos distribution but I do not expect that this will happen. The other „big players“ like Delphix, Joyent or OmniOS seems to have no interest in such storage features as well as improvements in encryption (hey we need this) Gea/ napp-it.org Am 05.08.2014 um 19:27 schrieb Floris van Essen ..:: House of Ancients Amstafs ::.. i...@houseofancients.nl: Hi Dan, Sometimes i wish was a programmer J Infra dude here, with plenty of stuff to test thing, but a programmer I am not, however if you need testers….

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Status of VAAI
So what is the skill set needed to help with the development? If we have a better understanding of this, it might allow people to understand if they are capable of helping.

The wiki isn't bad. Also look at this old blog post for building small bits: http://kebesays.blogspot.com/2011/03/for-illumos-newbies-on-developing-small.html After our Surge conference this year, we're having an Illumos Day. Would an intro-to-new-developers talk be useful? One curiosity I have is could a hybrid distribution of OmniOS with a Nexenta kernel be built and be useable. Nexenta keeps everything out in the open on Github. How hard would it be to build that kernel and utilize it? You might as well spend the effort to upstream bits of illumos-nexenta that you find interesting. My next mail on this thread will discuss this.
