[smartos-discuss] /proc, psinfo, RSS

2017-04-10 Thread Robert Fisher
I've been writing some software which parses `/proc` to get process info. The original is in Python, but I got some unexpected results and, as I'm not the best with Python, assumed it was my bad coding. So, I wrote a bit of C to cross-reference, and I get the same results. I just can't understand

[smartos-discuss] DIY pkgsrc?

2018-05-01 Thread Robert Fisher
I build pkgin (pkgsrc?) packages of certain tools, customized to my own needs. To get them on my hosts I stick them in Manta, and config-management downloads them and installs them from the local filesystem. This has always seemed crude and clumsy, but works. Now I'm looking at deploying my own

Re: [smartos-discuss] hanging boot on ASUS box

2018-02-08 Thread Robert Fisher
No joy with anything ACPI, XHCI or legacy boot. I've tried absolutely everything in the BIOS, and I can't even make it fail in a different way. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Ubuntu, all work great. SmartOS, OmniOS, Solaris, all lock at the same point. Anyone got any more ideas? Rob

[smartos-discuss] anyone know a SmartOS friendly Mini-ITX motherboard?

2018-07-21 Thread Robert Fisher
I've given up on the idea of any Illumos flavour ever running on my little home server, so I'm planning to swap out the main board. The backstory of this is that I successfully ran Solaris 11 on it (encrypted ZFS -- I'm paranoid) and when I upgraded the BIOS (I know, never upgrade the BIOS, but I

Thanks for the advice everyone, but nothing is helping. Using `use_mp/W 0` makes no difference. It hangs at exactly the same place. (However, doing this on Solaris 11 allows it to boot. This is the same as disabling the cores in the BIOS.) Booting with `-B disable-xhci=true` also changes

​> Are there any power management options in the bios? Very few. "ErP Ready" lets you set a sleep state (S4 or S5), and you can enable or disable power on by PCI-E, Ring or on a timed schedule. I've tried them all in all possible states but, as you can imagine, none of them had any effect.
