Re: [OmniOS-discuss] areca or lsi
I have build a lot of OmniOS boxes and was involved in a lot of hardware decisions. All of them are using LSI HBAs in raidless IT mode. If there was ever a consensus in the Solarish world regarding disk controller than this: - prefer pure HBAs, avoid hardware raid cards, use those with IT firmware - avoid controller cache, ZFS needs full disk control especially with sync write - your regular RAM, used by ZFS is anyway larger and faster - prefer LSI (nearly all Solarish ZFS boxes are using LSI) where you can expect the best driver quality My own favourite on OmniOS is the LSI 9207 with PCI-E 3.0 and the new 2308 chipset They come out of the box with the desired IT firmware, no need to reflash like with other LSI controllers. I would add: If you need expanders, use LSI ones paired with LSI HBAs, use SAS disks with expanders or if you intend to use Sata disks, prefer as much HBAs as needed without expander.

Which controller would you choose for a new system ? cheers tobi -- H f G Hochschule für Gestaltung university of design Schwäbisch Gmünd Marie-Curie-Str. 19 73529 Schwäbisch Gmünd Guenther Alka, Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Switching syslog with rsyslog
Ok…
I have rsyslog 7.4.3 building/running with Guardtime enabled. As a result of
jumping from 7.3.9 to 7.4.3, I had to add several new pkgs (deps):
* libguardtime (Guardtime C SDK)
* guardtime (Guardtime Client utility)
* python26-docutils (build dep, generate man pages)
I've also added rsyslog diag and user tools to allow for the additional
functionality of using Guardtime within rsyslog.
The one caveat I have with the latest rsyslog with GT support is that there is
bug with the 64bit version of libguardtime linking with curl so rsyslog is
32bit. I'm opening a bug report with GT on this and hope to have this resolved
soon.
That said, is 32bit fine or do y'all want to wait until we have 64bit as well?
How do y'all want the PRs done: all in one or one PR per pkg?
Thanks in advance.

That's awesome Chris, where can I find the package source so I can update
to the latest stable version? GitHub or somewhere else?
The build scripts for ms.omniti.com (http://ms.omniti.com) packages are in
the omniti-ms branch of omnios-build:
