Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris 11 Install Failed

[Milan Cermak]

Hi Terry,
the issue seems to be that the disk is not partitioned yet. To fix that 
open a terminal and run 'format'. It will ask for a disk (I suppose you 
have just one). Then type 'fdisk' and it will ask if it should create a 
100% Solaris parition. Say yes.
With this, you get the partition table and Solaris label (VTOC). Now, 
the installer should proceed just fine.


And please take a minute and fill a bug report against the installer on 
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/

Hi,

I can't seem to get Oracle's OpSol to install. BTW, OpSol 2009.06 installs 
fine, and reboots fine. (I guess it's fine, not being a Unix person, I don't 
know what to check for after first boot). I've tried booting it (11) from the 
USB key and the CD. Both boot and work fine. But the gui-install lets me get 
all the way done, then starts to do its thing, but then reports it failed 
before the progress bar leaves 0%. Gparted loads, acts like it will change the 
disk, but does nothing (yes, I typed in the root password). My hardware is: 
Medion laptop with: AMD x2 1700Mhz, 4GB ram, 320GB blank HDD, on board nVidia, 
etc. Most of the hardware shows up in the  list, no problems there -- that I 
can see. Here is the log.

Do I need to use something like SystemRescueCD's parted command, and "mklabel sun" to get 
the disk ready? That doesn't make sense, since 2009.06 has no problem manipulating the disk. And 
more importantly, since I can't deal with compiling, configuring, making, etc. -- if there are any 
errors) Should I just forget Opsol 11 (since ntgs-3g doesn't work without  re compiling the code) 
and stay with 2009.06? Thanks. I don't mind looking this stuff up and learning, but I find that 
learning Unix is extremely difficult because I don't know the "basic technical" language 
(don't know where to start either) and then each variant has its own different dir structure, 
file/program names, etc.

Re: [osol-discuss] Q: Adding newlines to script email output

[Milan Cermak]

Hi Johan,
storing the command output in the variable removes the newlines (or 
better to say, it replaces them with spaces).

To get formatted message, you may do something like:

(
echo "Subject: filez ZFS Information\n\n";
/usr/sbin/zfs list -r tank
) | mail 

Regards,
Milan Cermak

Dne  3.05.10 11:13, Johan Eliasson napsal(a):

I have a little script that looks like below, that emails me info on my zfs 
pool every day:

--- start script ---

echo "Subject: filez ZFS Information\n\n"$message | mail fi...@nebol.se
--- end script ---

My problem is that when I view the mail in Thunderbird there are no newlines so 
it looks like this:

Re: [osol-discuss] Created a FAT32 partition using Fdisk, but it can not be mounted..

[Milan Cermak]

Okay. So you need following command:
mkfs -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c9t1d4p1

p0 is whole disk (including the partition table).
Sorry I mistyped the mkfs command in the first e-mail. That was Linux 
syntax.


Milan

Dne 14.04.10 16:41, Sarah.kho napsal(a):

Hi,
Thank you for helping me on this.

before applying mkfs I tried the mount command as follow:

  mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0 /media/s

The command returns the following error:

mount: /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0 is not a DOS filesystem.

So I tried the fstyp command on that partition and it says:

unknown_fstyp (no matches)


Now I tried to use mkfs as follow:

  mkfs pcfs  /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0

it returns the following error:
mkfs: Operation not applicable for FSType nfs

I tried P0-p9 and it did not work.

To ensure that the partition is there, I used format > fdisk command
again and the partition is there:

Cylinders
   Partition   StatusType  Start   End   Length%
   =   ==  =   ===   ==   ===
   1   ActiveWin95 FAT32   1  10221022100



What do I miss here? Does fstyp and mkfs works on raw devices or on
block devices? I tried them on both /rdsk/... and .../dsk/ and
the result was the same.


If you cached what I am doing wrong, please let me know.

All the partitions that end in sN (e.g. s0) are Solaris partitions (aka

All the Solaris slices reside in one fdisk partition.

All the fdisk partitions end in pN (e.g. p0)

So ...

use:

   mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0 /media/s

Re: [osol-discuss] Using ZFS snapshot to revert back to initial installation

[Milan Cermak]

Hi Johanna,
just few thoughts.

Dne  6.04.10 17:42, Johanna Kidwell napsal(a):

Hi,  I have a box with Solaris 10 TX 10/09 installed with ZFS for the root file 
system.  I have another pool called zones mounted at /zone where I install my 
Solaris zones.  After completing the installation and configuration of the OS 
software and pools, I created a recursive snapshot of rpool and a snapshot of 
zone.

My goal is to use these for application software installation testing.  After 
doing my application software installs I thought I could use zfs rollback and 
revert back to the initial just-installed state of my box and try my 
application install scripts again... However, I found that my box was not truly 
in the same state as when I started.

I used the rollback command for each snapshot.  I had trouble with the rpool/dump 
snapshot, it said "cannot remove device links for 'rpool/dump': dataset is 
busy.  I was hoping that I don't care about that, but maybe I am wrong.


rpool/dump is used for storing system crash dump. You don't need to care 
about it. Same should go for rpool/swap which is a swap space.
Hmm, rollbacking the swap space might have very interesting effects on 
the system (crash probably).



So after doing the rollbacks if I do a zfs list -t snapshot is shows:

NAMEUSEDAVAIL   REFER   
MOUNTPOINT
rp...@install   0   --  94K 
-   
rpool/r...@install  0   --  18K 
-   
rpool/ROOT/s10s_u7wos...@install0   --  4.52G   
-   
rpool/d...@install  16K --  1.50G   
-   
rpool/exp...@install0   --  20K 
-   
rpool/export/h...@install   0   --  18K 
-   
rpool/s...@install  0   --  16K 
-   
z...@install0   -   18K 
-

So I thought I was back to the initial state, however, when I did my 
application install again I found errors:
1) some of the NICs where still plumbed from before, ifconfig -a didn't have 
the same results as it did when I took the snapshot.
2)import of an application service failed b/c it was already there
3)the zone I had created earlier was still there in zoneadm list -cv


The state of file system (represented by ZFS snapshot) and state of the 
OS are two different things. Many things are stored in kernel structures 
while active. Rebooting might or might not help here.



Please let me know if there is a way to use snapshots in the manner I desire.


For testing installation, I'd create new boot environment (from 
snapshot) and install the software there. After the test, I'd reboot 
back to the original BE and destroy testing BE. That should provide 
enough consistency for testing.


Just my 2 cents,
Milan Cermak

Re: [osol-discuss] Exception Handling in 64bit C++ Processes on Intel Xeon

[Milan Cermak]

Nicolas,
does the code throw the exception in such situation on all platforms or 
just on x64? (Does the situation happen on other platforms but x64?)
What is the exact type of exception your code is throwing, rethrowing 
and catching? (I mean exact C++ declarations.)


Milan Cermak

Dne 14.09.09 15:59, Nicolas Michael napsal(a):

John,

thanks for the quick reply. Please see below.
  

What kind of exception?  There are exceptions that
cannot be caught.
We should rule out this possibility when running your
code on x64.


Those exceptions are exceptions that we are throwing ourselves.

Within library B, one method b1() cannot find some data it is looking for, so 
it is creating an exception object (a subclass of our own Exception base class) 
and throwing it. This exception is then caught in method b2() of the same lib, 
which is throwing it again. It should then be caught by an exception handler in 
lib A -- which it seems is not happening.

Thanks,
Nick.

That's a feature of the kstat tool, not the kstat framework. In your

Re: [osol-discuss] mount solaris2 partitions

[Milan Cermak]

Hi Alexander,
Solaris partition is not a filesystem holder. It's more like Extended
partition. It contains slices.

What you want to do is
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c5d0s0
to see what slices are used and mount the slice.
Or if it's a ZFS filesystem then you can try:
# zpool import
to see what zpools are available.

that's because they are coming with different packaging systems. pkginfo
i for "old" Solaris SVR4 packages. "pkg info" is for new IPS packages.
As far as I know these packaging systems can't cooperate so, each has
it's own log of what is installed.

As far as I know, Linux kernel has support for Solaris variant of UFS. 
I've been using it on my notebook last year.
And yes, it's only partial support. Writing is experimental and 
dangerous. I used just a read-only form.

OpenSolaris doesn't understand ext2/3 partition. It doesn't understart 
extended partition scheme. It needs one primary partition and will 
create it's own partition scheme there. Then it will create a filesystem 
with either ufs or zfs.
On the other hand, Linux understands OpenSolaris partition scheme and 
ufs file system. It can also be made to understand zfs through fuse.

> Question 2: Will open solaris detect the other os (pclinuxos)?

Possibly yes. OpenSolaris will not detect it as a Linux but will ignore 
it as an unknown partition.

OpenSolaris installs GRUB and it can be configured to boot a linux kernel.

Hi Roman,
these values are reported for all x86 compatible machines. Doesn't

If you want better value, use command 'isainfo'.

Yes, you can use old packages. IPS can handle both.

Re: [osol-discuss] BASH as root shell

Sean Sprague wrote:

Gerard,


How can I make BASH the root's default shell?


This question has come up more times than possibly any other. The answer 
is invariably (and correctly) "Don't do it!". Root's default shell 
should _only_ ever be /sbin/sh for many reasons; including system 
recovery after panic.


This obviously doesn't answer your question, but is the recommended 
configuration to maintain.


Regards... Sean.


And what exactly makes /sbin/sh that special? If there are scripts which 
need it (as an interpreter) I let it live there happily. But what does 
have these scripts in common with interactive shell?


And (although I didn't write original question) yes. I'm new to Solaris.

Re: [osol-discuss] how to set up for dual screen?

[Milan Cermak]

Hi Xusheng,
the trick I learned is to "clone" graphic card. In xorg.conf you'll have 
two nearly identical sections for one graphic card.


Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Card0"
   Driver  "ati"
   VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
   BoardName   "M22 [Radeon Mobility M300]"
   BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
   Screen  0
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Card1"
   Driver  "ati"
   VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
   BoardName   "M22 [Radeon Mobility M300]"
   BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
   Screen  1
EndSection


Notice those "Screen" parameters. Then, you can create the configuration 
as if you have two cards each connected to one monitor.

Milan Cermak
