Hi all,

In the bottom right corner of openindiana, solaris etc, sits the
workspace switcher widget. By default it shows 4 workspaces in one row.
Right clicking in it pops a menu including the preferences .Clicking on
prefs pops up a window allowing to set the number of worspaces, their
names and the number of rows in the widget.

Unfortunately, in the last version of openindiana, the bottom part of
the prefs window has disappeared: one can still select the number of
rows, but not the number of workspaces nor their names.

What files should be picked from an old version of openindiana or
solaris to restopre the complete functionality of the workspace switcher ?



Do you mean hipster or OI-dev?


Thanks

Marc

[OpenIndiana-discuss] chmod: GNU chmod has no option -l

2014-01-06 Thread Carsten Grzemba
Hi,

is there a way to do a 

 chmod -l filename

on Solaris11 or OI?

The option -l 'mandatory locking' is gone. chmod 2644 or 0644 works, but for an 
operation like chmod -l filename I have to read the other modes first.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] chmod: GNU chmod has no option -l

2014-01-06 Thread Predrag Zecevic [Unix Systems Administrator]

Hi,

you were probably using GNU chmod (from /usr/gnu/bin).
Try original one from /usr/bin ...

$ head -1 /etc/release
 OpenIndiana Development oi_151.1.8 X86 (powered by illumos)

$ touch /tmp/chmod-test
$ /usr/gnu/bin/chmod -l /tmp/chmod-test
/usr/gnu/bin/chmod: invalid option -- 'l'
Try '/usr/gnu/bin/chmod --help' for more information.

BUT:
$ /usr/bin/chmod -l /tmp/chmod-test

Regards.

Oh thank's, it is correct, only 'man chmod' points in the wrong direction:

man -s1 -a chmod 

presents the right man page as second.

External powersupply, short out two pins and you're good to go. A modern
PSU usually has enough extra oomph that it will happily power a few of
these at a time.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] sd.conf trouble and illumos bug #3220

2014-01-06 Thread Reginald Beardsley
Sadly yahoo mail makes a mess of replies embedded in the text :-(

I'll have to try the 3 TB USB drive again.  I certainly can't see any reason 
that your wildcarding scheme shouldn't work.  If there is a problem it's 
probably a bug.

There are so many lies being told about geometry that it's hard to say what you 
should do.  At one point I wound up with a partition that was not 4k aligned if 
I started with cylinder #1, so I used #2 which was 4k aligned.  However, the 2k 
aligned partition seemed to work OK, so I'm not certain.  I wasn't willing to 
leave it that way to avoid wasting a little space.

I can't think of any reason that 512B drives wouldn't work fine aligned to 
larger boundaries.   The only consequence I can see is some wasted space which 
really isn't an issue given we're talking pennies per GB.  I can't imagine a 
performance issue that could result.

It seems to me that the default alignment rules would give less trouble if the 
alignment was to the most restrictive requirement.

 Hi Reginald,
 
 Thanks for your reply.
 
 In the end, I just booted from a live DVD and plugged that
 drive in on my laptop using a double asterisk as the sd.conf
 line and an 8k block size. A test pool create read back
 ashift=13, which should be fine.
 
 Then I used format -e and fdisk to create a single Solaris
 slice with start and end blocks that would fall on a
 cylinder number that was divisible by 8 (I did it like for
 4K disks, if I'm wrong I'd like some input on that please).
 
 Then I created the rpool in the first slice and moved the
 disk over to the final system, where I sent and received the
 zfs datasets. Change menu.lst, install grub and I was done.
 Working fine so far (160MB/sec sustained on a scrub, normal
 wsvc_time and asvc_time in iostat).
 
 Would anyone see any problem in doing the sd.conf line
 backwards, I mean masking all drives as ** with a 4K
 blocksize and adding entries for the other 512-byte drives?
 What would happen if ZFS thought a 512-byte block device
 used a 4K block size? Wasted space, performance issue,
 errors?
 
 Thanks, as always, for any and all input.
 
 
    Bryan

  I can't comment on your particular issue which is why I
 didn't respond earlier.  However,  I had trouble
 getting a 3 TB Toshiba USB drive to work properly.  I
 spent a bunch of time reading the code that parses sd.conf,
 but finally gave up and didn't go further.
  
  On reflection I wonder if the problem is a failure to
 propagate the information about block size to ZFS correctly
 under certain circumstances.  I think it would be nice
 if one could force ashift when creating a pool. 
 Automagic is nice, but there's often no substitute for human
 intelligence.  I spent a couple of days trying to
 persuade OI to create a properly aligned pool before I gave
 up.
