[osol-discuss] Re: ZFS causing slow boot up
Are you exporting these filesystems or have quotas on them, since I believe there is a slow boot problem with that! This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

We utilize OpenSolaris builds in one fashion or another in production both at Stanford in my role there as well as where I consult for use in file servers. Again, I look upon recent features, fixes, and I'd like to jump to newer releases. However, at the same time I see a lot of churn and potentially unstable putbacks that just need a bit more time to flesh out. It would be great if OpenSolaris as a whole went through regular stabilization builds or otherwise followed a scheme whereby those in production or quasi-production modes may feel safe in adopting series of builds most likely not to give them unwanted headaches and also improve upon previous builds in their infrastructure. http://blogs.sun.com/sch/entry/opensolaris_restricted_builds_through_the there used to be purty graphics with that post, but i'm not sure what happened to 'em.

I wanted to comment on your blog, but the comments are closed :( I'd like to hear more about the SX:DE schedule (any pointers?) and note that while once per quarter is nice for stabilization, I would consider that at the conservative end of things. Rather, I would hope for something closer to a build or two every six weeks, especially considering those multiple distributions you mentioned. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] What keeps 6414874 Revive le(7D) driver from being done?
Description In order to make the revival of UltraSPARC I support useful on non-1E Ultra 1 systems, the le(7D) driver and its companions (ledma(7D), lebuffer(7D)) should be revived as well. ... * Revive the driver from old sources: I happen to have S9 sources via the Solaris University Source program, but obviously am not allowed to post them. To legally do so, I'd need help from Sun to have the pre-rip-out sources released. This shouldn't be much of a problem since this is Sun's own hardware, so I wouldn't expect 3rd-party IP to be involved (but who knows ...). Are there any legal ramifications in open sourcing the le(7D) driver? I don't see any non-Sun copyrights in the Solaris 9 code for it. Is it as simple as someone inside Sun pushing requests/documentation through channels to free this up? I'm willing to drive that effort if someone points me in the right direction...

[osol-discuss] Re: Re: Solaris on an Ultra 10
I respectfully disagree (IRD). I am building a cluster to support high-performance computing, specifically meteorological models. The current version of the code runs on UltraSparc-III non-copper based system. The Sun sales rep loaned us an x4200 and I borrowed times on a SunFire V490 both configured with 4 cores and 4gb or memory. The wall-clock run time for the x4200 was 15 hours and the v490 was 9 hours. Granted the x4200 was cheaper, but you also get cheap hardware. The x4200 has too many sharp edges and reminds me of a beige box where the disk drives are held in place with foam blocks.

[osol-discuss] Where to download Starter Kit
If any one can help me with a mirror site because I cant get any use with the original location it's slow and provide no MD5 cheksum and 2.1 GB need at least a server that support resume and multi connection to be downloaded and if some one suggest for me to buy it I live in IRAQ :) This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
