I think if you use sas2flash / sas3flash with the -e 6 option first, it'll help resolve that ID mismatch issue. At least that works with the IBM-branded cards. -Dustin On Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 3:08 AM Carsten John wrote: > > Hello everbody, > > we recently installed the latest OI Hipster relase

All, Sorry in advance if this more of an IllumOS question, but I don't think it is. As somebody who sits and stares at an LCD all day long, I have a nitpick for fonts looking good. This has been one area that for me, all *IXs have been falling flat on. In my quest, I found the following site:

While personally all of my OpenIndianan/Solaris servers use pkgsrc (it rocks!), I personally think effort would be best spent fixing the existing packages in pkgsrc upstream. I know the DragonflyBSD devs do this, that way they automatically benefit from changes upstream. -Dustin On Wed, Dec 8, 2

Yes please! I use pkgsrc on all of my Solaris/OI machines. On the OI machines I use pkgsrc directly. On the Solaris 10 machines, I normally compile on a master server, then use pkgsrc's gensolpkg tool to generate a SVR4 package to push out. Works like a charm. A genipspkg tool would be even be

I had this problem before and it drove me crazy. For some reason switching the label to SMI in format doesn't completely get rid of the GPT labels. I'm guessing maybe it removes the primary at the start of the desk, but not the end? I ended up having to use: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c8t2d0s

I would like to help out if I can. I've been using pkgsrc + Studio 12.2 exclusively on my OI servers, so I've already done quite a bit of hacking to get packages to compile. I assume any changes are going to be sent back upstream? Sort of how the DFBSD pkgsrc stuff works? -Dustin On Tue, Feb 8

Currently I'm running OI 151 as a Xen 4.1.1 domU. While I have a couple of other domUs on this server, the OI domU is my 'main' VM. Because of this, I'm thinking of redoing the machine and installing OI on the barebones hardware, and then using VirtualBox headless to run the other VMs when I need

2011-06-24 Thread Dustin Marquess
The answer really is "it depends". On x86-64, the big advantage to 64-bit performance-wise is the additional CPU registers that it enables. The downside is the additional memory usage due to bigger pointer sizes. From what I understand, this increased size can have negative effects on CPU cache
