Though there was some discussion around this, I don't think the above
is a given. The ubuntu devs would look at the status of the project,
and decide closer to the release.

Re: [zfs-discuss] Which build is the most stable, mainly for NAS (zfs)?

2010-04-15 Thread Anil Gulecha
 Is it?  I don't really understand the nexenta license, which is why I
 don't bother with it.

In the simplest terms,

NCP (nexenta.org) = Free as in speech/beer

NexentaStor Community Edition (nexentastor.org) = Free as in beer
  - NCP underneath + closed WebGUI + FOSS plugins

NexentaStor enterprise edtion (nexenta.com) = Costs $$
  - NCP underneath + closed UI + enterprise plugins ($$)

Re: [zfs-discuss] future of OpenSolaris

2010-02-23 Thread Anil Gulecha
Hi,

 Without saying anything negative about Nexenta I would strongly recommend
 you go try to send a single patch to their equivalent of onnv-gate before
 recommending it as any sort of replacement for OpenSolaris.

Not sure what the above is intended to mean.

To clear things, Nexenta project is open to patches. It always makes
sense to send patches to the upstream project (for any project), but
if there's an instance where upstream does not integrate a patch, the
Nexenta project will definitely consider adding it. This discussion is
a bug/rfe report away.

Code/Tracker: http://www.nexenta.org/projects/nexenta-gate

Thanks,
Anil

 Well, I don't really remember exactly, because I've tried it so many
 times and got so many issues in various places. I just had issues
 everywhere: X11 (you do not need it, but still), updates, versions
 etc. Very, very unstable and scary distro yet for me. I believe idea
 is really brilliant and I love Nexenta in general. Just still very
 buggy and seems like not very dynamic development so far: some bugs
 persists for quite long time.


Yes, NCP's Desktop side components (X/Gnome/XFCE) is untested, and
explains the issues. The focus is on the core.. and it has been so
since the move from Gnusolaris (the older Gnome based Nexenta) to
Nexenta Core platform. The idea was and remains that interested
community members can build off it.

One example is StormOS, and XFCE based distro being built on NCP2.
According to the latest blog entry.. a release is imminent. Perhaps
you'll have better desktop experience with this. (www.stormos.org)

Anil

 No idea.

 NexentaCore Platform (v2.0 RC3)
 http://www.nexenta.org/os/NexentaCore

 Personally, I tried it few times. For now, it is still too much broken
 for me yet and looks scary. Previous version is much more stable but
 also older. Newer v2.0 looks exactly like bleeding edge Debian old
 times: each time you run apt-get upgrade you have to use shaman's
 tambourine dancing around the fireplace. I don't remember exactly, but
 some packages are just broken and can not find dependencies,
 installation crashes, pollutes your system and can not be restored
 nicely etc. However, when it will be not that broken anymore, it must
 be a great distribution with excellent package management and very
 convenient to use.

Hi Bogdan,

Which particular packages were these? RC3 is quite stable, and all
server packages are solid. If you do face issues with a particular
one, we'd appreciate a bug report. All information on this is

 OpenSolaris 2009.06 (when it's released)

 I am running this one now on a multiple machines and so far seems like
 it is the best distro by its quality for such needs what you can have
 at the moment.
