[OpenIndiana-discuss] kcifs admin shares and using computer management to create shares

2013-08-13 Thread Geoff Nordli


In order to create shares from a Windows machine using Computer 
Management, it seems you need to have admin share available.


There is one for the C$ which is mapped to /var/smb/cvol

I see computer management uses a path that starts with a B:\x to 
reference drives.


and I would expect to see the output of the admin shares in sharemgr 
show -vp.


Any ideas on how to allow Computer Management to create shares remotely.

thanks,

Geoff

 There is a threading problem with the entire 3.5.x series that is gone
 in 3.6.x. https://www.illumos.org/issues/2172

 Ira Cooper hinted at that too when I got his attention.

 I'll stay put with my a7 and my samba 3.6.x build.
Maybe your samba  build could be put in SFE (Spec Files Extra) publisher?
Could it be put in Hipster, too (or firstly).

Is there a package that is supposed to provide that kind of functionality?

Hi there,
 
At the present time I have no available choices under Connect to server, only 
Custom Location. The drop down menu is otherwise empty.

That's why I'm wondering whether I'm missing a package that got lost during 
updates. I remember the menu working fine the last time I checked, a couple of 
updates ago.

Nice, that should be mentioned on openindiana-announce at least.

First impression after updating from a7 are
Desktop icons somehow got sorted in the left , no GNOME Trash applet
working, (adding it works but is not visible/working in a8 , it is seen
as multiple Trash applets later in Hipster)

Pidgin (internet messenger) is crashing in 151a8 /dev, with dumping core:

 No, we're not getting any ping loss, that's the thing.  The network looks
 entirely faultless.  We've run pings for 24 hours with no ping loss.

Yeah, I swore you said you had ping loss before - but if not - I don't think 
ping alone is sufficient.  You have to find the error counters on the LACP 
interfaces.  Everybody everywhere seems to blindly assume LACP works reliably, 
but to me, simply saying the term LACP is a red flag.  It's extremely

Hi,

tried, says installed and latest version.

Running a pkg verify does not show any issues with gnome packages.

Ran a pkg update, still no choices present under the Connect to server drop 
down menu.

It's not important for me, I rarely use that feature.

Just wanted to let everybody know that it is missing for me too.

Thank you,

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Adaptec series 7

2013-08-13 Thread Grant Albitz
I checked the HCL and saw that basically no adaptec cards are listed. I was 
just wondering what it takes to really have an item moved onto the HCL (short 
of the manufacturer releasing a driver of course). The series 7 cards are nice 
in that they can support up to 24 devices in hba mode without an expander. 
Adaptec did release solaris drivers but they are so bad it is as if they didn't 
even test them. Also you cannot boot from the adaptec series 7 under solaris 
according to the release notes for the driver. I was just curious if the same 
would be expected under OI if the drivers were ported over.

Unless Oracle has made many changes to the DDI (I doubt it), the Solaris
driver should load into an Illumos kernel just fine. The behavior should
be identical though, so if the driver had issues on Solaris, chances are
the same issues will persist in Illumos.

We have lacp working between force10, hp, and cisco switches in all possible 
combinations with no difficulties. We do monitor and alert on excessive errors 
and drops for interfaces, but lacp isnt a culprit. If anything, it's an 
underlying interface when we find them. Also, it beats the heck out of spanning 
tree and is 2 orders of magnitude simpler than ospf, and 1 order simpler and 
more portable than ecmp. I am quite surprised by your observations.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Adaptec series 7

2013-08-13 Thread Gregory Youngblood
Do you know if the aac driver in a8 works with the 1405? A7 didn't connect the 
driver to the card even though the pci id was in the driver list.

I posted a little bit back asking about this on the n40l I built.

Thanks

Hi Grant,

The Adaptec aac driver in oi_151a8 supports up to the Adaptec 6xxx series.
The Adaptec 71605H works fine. My client has it in their video stream server.

I built it using AACRAID driver 7.2.0.30261.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Adaptec series 7

2013-08-13 Thread ken mays
Grant,

I didn't use the older provided aac driver. The newer aac driver bundle from 
Adaptec has the 64-bit binary so you just disable the old aac and install the 
new one.

I suggest using the manufacturer's driver(s) and hardware - if directly 
supported by them.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Edit file in /etc/ from InstallCD

2013-08-13 Thread Harry Putnam
Running from an install of build 151a7 as guest in virtualbox on win7
64 bit

I edited files in /etc/ in an attempt to allow ssh to root.

In my fool head I assumed if it broke boot there would be some easy
way to mount '/' and edit things as needed from an install CD as one
can in most any linux.

Maybe there is ... but googling is showing some really complicated
looking stuff.

Is there a current guide somewhere of how to mount the installed OS
files from live cd?

Looking to allow ssh to root I followed the steps on this URL:
http://blogs.tulsalabs.com/?p=139

I think the culprit is probably having commented out the line in
/etc/user_attr that starts with 'root' and ends with ';type=root'
there was quite a bit of stuff in between but I don't remember what
it was.

Also commented out a line in /etc/default/login: 
   # CONSOLE=/dev/console

Anyway, what do I have to do to get to those files in /etc now that
the OS will not boot?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] SVG bug in 151a8 JDS with workaround

2013-08-13 Thread Udo Grabowski (IMK)

There's a problem with the SVG loader library, which is visible in
a couple of desktop helpers, e.g. eog, netstat monitor, etc.
The issue and a workaround is described in
OI bug https://www.illumos.org/issues/4040
There's obviously something wrong with the JDS build files that
should be fixed.

Can you 
zpool import -R /realroot rpool
to import the rpool under /realroot ?  You might also have to mount the 
filesystems after that , or create the directory before hand.

zfs mount -a
 mounts all the filesystems on imported pools.
They may not show up where you expect depending on the various mountpoint 
options / boot environments.
Check with 'zfs list' to see where the the filesystems are mounting...

You may have to export the zpool before rebooting from that.
zpool export rpool 
or something like that (make sure you have left any directories ).

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Upgrade to oi_151a8 fails on one machine

2013-08-13 Thread Gary Mills
The first machine upgraded from oi_151a7 to oi_151a8 with no problems.
The command I used was: pkg image-update --be-name oi_151a8 .  It
updated 879 packages into a new BE.  It looked good when I rebooted
into that BE.

The second gave me trouble.  I used the same command, but it only
updated 37 packages.  When I rebooted into the new BE, the kernel
version was still oi_151a7 .  I rebooted back to the old BE and
destroyed the new one.

In October, I had upgraded this second machine from oi_151a5 to
oi_151a7, with no problems.  It updated 947 packages that time.

I did notice that the package `entire' was missing on the second
machine, although it was present on the first one.  I had been
upgrading this second machine periodically, starting with
opensolaris-126 .  I suppose I must have removed `entire' somewhere
along the way.  Perhaps that was the cause of the problem, but why
did the upgrade to oi_151a7 succeed?

I tried adding the correct version of `entire' for oi_151a7, in a new
BE, but `pkg image-update -n' still told me it would update only 37
packages.

What could be preventing this upgrade from working?  What should I do
next?

No, this is an alternate root - a path prepended to all automatically
mounted datasets from rpool, so that they do not conflict with paths
that already exist on your system (from LiveCD). Disk names should not 
be needed as ZFS should find the pools (at least, on those HBAs/disk 
controllers for which the Live media has drivers).


When the pool is imported, you can try zfs mount -a to mount all of
the datasets marked for auto-mounting. It is possible, however, that
your rootfs dataset would not mount because the mount-point for it is
not empty.

In this case you can zpool export rpool and reimport it without auto
mounting, and then mount the rootfs into the alternate root, and then
other datasets if you need them:

# zpool import -N -R /realroot rpool
# zfs list -r rpool/ROOT
...
rpool/ROOT/oi_151a7
...
# zpool get bootfs rpool
NAME   PROPERTY  VALUE SOURCE
rpool  bootfsrpool/ROOT/oi_151a7   local

If this is your rootfs which you want (or maybe you want an alternate
BE instead), mount what you need:

# zfs mount rpool/ROOT/oi_151a7

or if it is marked legacy and has no path in mountpoint attribute:

# mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/oi_151a7 /realroot

I don't know, but I have seen the same problem.  I have two OI boxes, 
one is old (dates back to OS 90 or something ... 5 years or so and has 
been updated many, many times through pkg image-updates) and the other 
was built with OI 151a7 a few months ago.


The old one displayed the same problem you describe, the new one was 
fine.  I had made the new one a hipster version in the mean time though, 
and then pulled it back to 151a8 dev release three days ago.
