None of that rings true to me, but if it's working for you, that's great.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Bump Nvidia driver to 295.20

2012-03-20 Thread ken mays
Hello,

Ref: ftp://download.nvidia.com/solaris/295.20/NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-295.20.run

There was some thought into bumping the Nvidia video driver to 295.20 during 
the prestable releases.

This helps many laptop users mainly when installing and using the OI distro. 

The current Nvidia video driver, 280.13, used in the oi_dev repo has no major 
bugs reported so the priority of
this is low.

Since it is the main video driver we use for desktop graphics, just consider it.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Access to /etc on a pool from another system?

2012-03-20 Thread Dave Miner
beadm is missing a qualifier on mount to specify the pool name under 
which the named BE is located, so it mounts the first BE it finds with 
the name you specify.  Since you had the same BE name present in your 
existing root pool, that gets in the way.  Your workaround removed the 
conflict and that's why it worked.

So thanks again to all.

Well, there's your problem.� /mnt isn't mounted.�
All you're looking at
is your native rpool root file system, not the one in
fpool.


Now that I think about it, the problems seemed to

revolve around the special way that zfs and beadm treat /.

Other than being canmount=no, it's not too special.�
Just look at the
ZFS attributes; they tell you everything you might want to
know.

zfs get -o all all fpool/ROOT/opensolaris

That's what I concluded, but glad to have the confirmation.

Just wish there was a way to rename an unmounted pool so I could make it rpool 
again.

At the moment it's not bootable, though I think I understand how to fix that.  
Since it's just a test image I doesn't matter if I fail or trash it so I plan 
to try.

Ironically, the config file I was after was of no use.  But I learned quite a 
bit about beadm  zfs, so it was well worth while.  At least if I can remember 
it all when I need it next.

I'd rolled up facilities to provide the function of beadm on my 3/60  1+, but 
not as elegant.  On the 3/60 I used the diag switch to select the active be and 
had miniroot installed in that. Full system be was lots more work to setup.

Have Fun!
