11/1    Solaris disk add question: I have an external drive on an old
        Solaris box. I umount, commented out vfstab, and hook it to a
        new Solaris box. Then I added a new entry in vfstab and tried
        to mount but the new box wouldn't mount. Is there something I
        have to do like recognizing a new SCSI device or something?
        \_ who gave you the solaris box? kick them in the nuts.
        \_ Does prtconf show you the device? If it doesn't try
           probe-scsi-all at the OF prompt. This might not work
           on an ultra as it warns you that you need to run reset
           or reset-all first. Probably the easiest way to get this
           to work is to reboot.
                \_ OF prompt, is that something you get after Stop-A?
                   I did try reboot but no luck... will try the probe-thing
                   now, thanks! By the way what is your email?
        \_ At OBP prompt ok>
           (after reset-all to be safe) try probe-scsi-all to make sure
           it is physically recognized. Then do 'boot -r' (assuming your
           box doesnt have some DiskSuite/raid stuff already configured)
           so the OS can create the proper files. Then login and 'format'
           to check that the disk is found and has the right cWtXdYsZ you
           expect. Try to manually mount to test, then add to vfstab
           \_ Oh yeah, by the way, use: http://docs.sun.com
              which has SPARC and x86 add disk instructions.
        \_ There's no need to do a "boot -r" to get Solaris to recognize the
           disk.  "drvconfig; devlinks; disks" will accomplish the same thing
           (for all disk devices) without a reboot.  After you do this, run
           "format" to make sure Solaris sees the disk, try mounting it by
           hand to make sure it works, then add it to your vfstab.  The problem
           is that you didn't have device nodes in the kernel's device tree
           for that disk, nor entries in /dev and /devices.

2/5     I like Adobe Flash. When written correctly, it scales along
        with your browser size. It looks consistent on every single
        browser. It is predictable. On the other hand, I'm not a big
        fan of CSS/HTML, which for the most part, look wildly different
        between browsers, and don't even work consistently or
        correctly at times. So why do so many people (like Steve Jobs)

        What is Larry Ellison thinking? What is he going to do with a bunch of
        legacy Sun hardware that no one uses anymore, its fading workstation
        customer base, and open source Sun MySQL that doesn't even generate
        revenue? I really don't get all this acquisition business.

11/29   I'm experimenting with virtualization, and as a poor college student
        I'm wondering what the best alternatives for virtualization are, and
        how best to cut my teeth on messing with non-linux platforms (or I
        guess interesting stuff on Linux would work too). Right now I've got
        FreeBSD7 running on KVM on my home computer (on a Core 2 Quad), and am
        somewhat at a loss as to how to use it. (More details: bridged

        Sun Microsystems Inc. plans to cut up to 6,000 jobs, or 18 percent of
        its global work force, as sales of its high-end computer servers have
        collapsed.  The drastic move announced Friday highlights Sun's

9/24    Why is nscd going crazy?  DoS?
        \- back in the solaris say 2.5-2.6 era, it had both some bugs
           (some malformed nis maps made it go crazy) and architectural
           flaws in the IPC/door+threading mechanism. if you are running
           OS-recent, dunno, but you can trace it.

3/30    Question: I just deleted 60 GB of files from an 80 GB disk. The
        disk activity lights were blinking like crazy and I could hear the
        drive crunch while the data was deleted. This is under Solaris.
        Anyway, I think UNIX uses unlink() when files are deleted. Shouldn't
        it just update the free list on the superblock and call it a day?
        What is all the crunching about?

        has anything to read off it.  Problem is, I can have up to 12228
        file descriptors, and Linux fd_set only supports up to 4096.  Any idea
        what I can do about this?  (Or a better solution?) -jrleek
