Thanks! A place to start is a place to start, and an stable server release is the most urgent one among all the other options. Some people is talking about the server-desktop question, I particularly liked the old Solaris software groups concept (reduced network, core, end user, entire)... woulnt

not sure if it helps any, or even if it helps in OpenSolaris/Illumos/OpenIndiana ... we've had problems in the past with usb devices and memory allocation ... admittedly this was when we had quite a few devices in the system, but we had to set the ehci:ehci_qh_pool_size in /etc/system: set

Hi Jon, Many thanks for the info. In the mean time, I've bitten the bullet and bought a cheaper PCIe E-sata card. It'll be a while before it gets here, so time will tell! But thanks for coming back with that. I'll keep it handy in case it comes to it. If any of my log files would help anyone

Thank you very much for such a detailed response, actually yes, Openindiana-desktop, is more clear than the LiveCD, it makes sense. I will read the links you sent. Thanks again for all your work. BR Gab On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 12:44 PM, Alasdair Lumsden alasdai...@gmail.com wrote: Hi

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS Pool configuration hanging around

I'm using an external caddy to mount backup drives to. The ZFS pools are, rather imaginatively, called, backup. However, there seems to be a phantom of an old set that was present when the machine hung once upon a time, and I can't get rid of it. I've tried deleting /etc/zfs/zpool.cache but no

Good suggestions, but now I've got both backup pools in trouble :-) I've also got another issue. Because they're degraded, I can't import them, which means I can't destroy them, either. I can import by ID number, but I can't destroy by ID number. A reboot didn't help, either.

I had another drive that was one of that old pool, so I ran a little test. A relabel didn't work. ZFS still thought the drive was part of the old pool. However, re-writing the partition table and running an all free hog did work. In this case, it looks like I'm going to have to export the data

No! (the vote has begun :) I feel that Live CD is still a server OS. I suggest names like - Gnome distribution; (Actually Live CD is even better name - it gives an idea that you can boot from CD not touching your HDD content); - Command line distribution. Dmitry. On 17.01.2011 16:16,

I was thinking in terms of the installer presenting choices. If no choices are selected then the minimal installation with no extras layers gets installed. you might also call this expert mode as only the basics are there and anything else had to be installed. The installer might ask a
