[OpenIndiana-discuss] oi will not load
Tested the iso and the checksums matched - so a good file. I think Running Virtual box (4.1.8) under XP Pro SP3 GRUB shows the first of seven items highlighted and I press enter. Seven dots appear and nothing more. Within VirtualBox OpenSolaris and OpenSUSE both run as expected What should I do ?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Won't start
Running XP Pro SP3 w Virtual Box 4.1.22. OI goes through the startup process, shows the blue screen with the logo and I see the black mouse pointer which I can move. After ten minutes the cd load indicator is still flashing and I see no icons - just the logo. Suggestions?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Using a USB 20 device
Are there specific directions as to how to read/write data on a USB 2.0 jump drive? XP sees it and VBox also sees it but OI doesn't. If I need to mount it, are there specific directions? I've looked at general Linux directions and I fail. Bob ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Mount USB Drive
" To do this the quick way type this in the terminal: mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt " Looks like I need to be root or supv but don't know the password. What is the Login for SUPV or Root The required extension pack is installed - or so I think! The VBox USB Dialog has both Enable USB Controller and Enable USB2.0(EHCI) Contoller checked and there are no USB Device filters which makes me think the pack is installed. Running FAT32 on the USB ( a Transcend JF30 /2GB Drive) Are you running OI as virtualbox slave? Not sure but Oi is running in VBox 4.1.22 which is running under XP Pro SP3 What is the Login for SUPV or Root TIA Bob - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2012 6:46 AM Subject: OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 26, Issue 44 Send OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list submissions to openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to openindiana-discuss-requ...@openindiana.org You can reach the person managing the list at openindiana-discuss-ow...@openindiana.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of OpenIndiana-discuss digest..."

As neat as native HFS+ file systems under OpenIndiana or *Solaris would be, its really not the way to go. Other alternatives as someone else mentioned is iSCSI. And I do very well at home with my Mac's doing NFS mounts to my OI storage server. YMMV. Regardless, you have lots of options.

Right now we do it via a Mac -- hook drive to Mac, mount ZFS filesystem via CIFS, and copy-- but that's a bit of a pain in the rear; it would be a lot easier to be able to hook drives directly to an OI tower and copy the files that way. I I know we're supposed to be promoting Illumos solutions and whatnot, but why not run ZFS directly on your Macs? It won't work for the boot drive but it'll work for the external storage you're attaching. You can zfs send | zfs receive to an OI tower for deep archiving if you'd prefer. http://zevo.getgreenbytes.com -- Message: 2 Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:59:21 -0400 From: "Bob Palank" To: Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Using a USB 20 device Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Are there specific directions as to how to read/write data on a USB 2.0 jump drive?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Can't Acccess USB 20 Jump Drive
No luck yet! I'm running oi under VBox under XP Pro SP3 and I think it runs as fast as XP on my Compaq Presario V5000. I've tested other distros and both run slow so I'd like to stick with oi. I want to use a jump drive for R/W data storage but oi can't see the jump drive. If I can get it to work then I'd like to contribute the documentation on how it's done. Perhaps someone else has already done what I'm attempting to do. --- Here is what I know The required VBox extension pack is installed - or so I think! The USB Dialog has both Enable USB Controller and Enable USB2.0(EHCI) Contoller checked and there are no USB Device filters. Running FAT32 on the USB Q Are you running OI as virtualbox slave? Ans VBox is running under XP Pro SP3 and I don't know if it is a slave. When I run cfgadm it reports ALL usb Ap_Ids With Type unknown Receptacle empty, occupant unconfigured, and Condition ok --- Any advice you can offer is appreciated.
