if you are using static IP then what is problem to disable nwam, use

Simple - it doesn't work. network-admin won't run, and all of the IP 
configuration files disappear on reboot if I do it by hand.



The server version, however, is text only (of course). No Gnome. So,
how can I add it?

Note that DNS seems a bit borked. I can
'ping 91.194.74.133
I can
'dig pkg.openindiana.org'
but I cannot
'ping pkg.openindiana.org'
getting an unknown host error. (??) So 'pkg refresh --full' always 
fails.


I suspect this will be the last time I install fresh, rather than
doing an upgrade. :-(

Rats. I thought I replaced nsswitch.conf with nsswitch.dns.Must have 
missed this on my nth time around. Thanks.

 In particular does the kernel think the disk parameters for old and new 
 drives are the same?

Yes, it does.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] zpool replace says the disk has a different sector alignment

 What OS release was the pool built with?  Could it be that an update has 
 resulted in zfs not being willing to do what it did when the pool was 
 created?  In that case rolling back to the BE that built the pool might let 
 you add the disk in w/ ashift=9.  

It was EITHER built in RHEL6, and zfsonlinux and then imported on OI 151a8, or 
it was built on OI 151a8 - I seem to have misplaced my notes from that period :/

 
 However, I don't think that changes the need to rebuild the pool w/ 
 ashift=12.  For ashift=9 to be correct prior to the firmware update, the 
 controller would have to have been doing the RMW buffering internally.  It 
 seems strange that they would remove such a feature.  You might want to look 
 for messages in old log files from prior to the update if you still have 
 them.  My notes don't reflect it, but I seem to recall that I managed to 
 build  an improperly aligned pool, but did not see any console messages and 
 was not looking at /var/adm/messages until performance testing showed very 
 poor performance.  It may be you've stumbled across an old problem you didn't 
 know you had.

I don't think they removed it.  I think (from what I'm told, though I haven't 
been able to find the document that the person said they were reading) that it 
is no longer the default setting - and the firmware upgrade was not smooth at 
all - and I haven't had a window when I could boot into the BIOS to check the 
settings and what options I have available to me there.

So, right now, I'm working on emptying off a pair of Nexsan SATABeasts (that 
are out of warranty) so I can swing them over to this system to give me just 
enough room to create a new zpool and I can migrate all this data there, then I 
can rebuild my existing zpool.

Indeed, no. But also it is more flexible since at the filesystem level
you can change the (inherited or end-node) rights to something else
for some aprticular files or directories. Maybe, for writable shares
you can allow @everyone and then just enforce filesystem access to
browse/read/write as if those were local accesses i.e. over SSH shells?


It's two different things, though. In the Windows world, you have access 
permissions for the share, and then on the contents of that share, you 
have ACLs.
One is not a substitue for the other (particularly because users can 
mess with the ACL whereas they cannot with the share permissions).

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Issue setting time/date in OI 151a8

Hi,

known issues with nobody finding time to investigate the root cause. 
All admin apps are broken in the same way.

I had been running OI 151a7 until recently and was able to set the

When I launch the option under a8, and validate as root, the 
time/date

the app

Has anyone seen this issue with 151a8, and/or can someone suggest 
some

additional troubleshooting to get this working again.

I am running it on a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 mobo.

Thanks.
