Its being a while since my last blog. And since many projects still in progress I will share my impression about recent build of OpenSolaris b126.
I am long time user of OpenSolaris. This is my tool for everyday work and I have it on my notebook. But still I am just a user, a little of admin, totally not a developer of this system. OpenSolaris 2009.06 was a major milestone with most every features polished to that date. But some was not as good as I wanted them to be. So I came a long road of updating to dev builds. I had all of them starting from 116 till 126. In every build there were improvements as well as new bugs. Only starting with 126 I can say that I feel good about it.
So here is the list why go dev and what you should be ready to. I am not writing in which release bug was fixed. Consider this as a
"diff 111a 126" and I am not pretend to show all diff, this is only what is sensitive to me:
$ pfexec pkg set-property flush-content-cache-on-success true
На моем ноутбуке до сих пор существуют две операционные системы. Первая — OpenSolaris build 118, в ней я постоянно работаю. И вторая — ее я использую для доступа в интернет на даче, а еще в ней установлен антивирус. Не первый раз возник вопрос, а нужна ли мне та вторая, может я смогу настроить модем в OpenSolaris?
Немного нагуглив я нашел руководство по настройке Nokia E71 в Vodafone UK. Остается все это переделать для SonyEricsson K750i в МТС.
приступаем, делаем ссылку для телефона и создаем файлы настроек.

Для тех кто любит обновляться до последней версии будет полезно иметь в виду, что сделав только zpool upgrade, при последующей перезагрузке, а точнее при включении компа, вместо рабочего GRUB получите лишь его prompt. Например, я прошел путь OpenSolaris: 86, 96, 97 и теперь 98. Между билдами 86 и 98 версия ZFS pool сначала увеличилась с 11 до 12, а потом с 12 до 13. Я бы не обратил внимания, но к моему ноуту я периодически подключаю внешний USB диск (Lacie 250GB) для целей бекапа и смотрю, что говорит zpool status. Именно он и уговорил меня оба раза сделать zpool upgrade. И оба раза я наступал на эти грабли. Проблема в том, что при обновлении zpool upgrade необходимо обновлять и загрузчик GRUB. Бага уже принята в работу. Если Вы не сделали обновление загрузчика, то можете попытаться руками ему сказать откуда грузиться, но это не поможет:
GRUB> bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-2 GRUB> kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS .... Error 17: cannot mount selected partition
Поэтому качаем DVD с новым релизом и с него делаем installgrub:

Need to say that I have OpenSolaris on my Sony Vaio laptop. And I am following newest releases of OpenSolaris: 86, 96, 97 and now 98. In between builds 86 and 98 ZFS pool version was increased twice from 11 to 12 and from 12 to 13. I am paying attention to zfs status because I have external USB drive attached (Lacie 250GB) for mirror (backup) purposes. So I was doing zfs upgrade two times and two times had a problem with next boot. The problem is that GRUB is not able to see new ZFS and so it brings GRUB prompt. You may try to enter GRUB entries by hands but this would not help you:
GRUB> bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-2 GRUB> kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS .... Error 17: cannot mount selected partition
The solution is to get DVD of your build and boot from it. And then installgrub:
jack@opensolaris:~/Desktop$ su -

I have Vista and Opensolaris on my laptop. And recently I faced a problem installing Service pack 1 on Vista because of GRUB installed. SP1 did MBR checking and since no Vista MBR present it fails to update Vista. Here is solution:
H:\mbr>MBRFIX.EXE /drive 0 listpartitions
# Boot Size (MB) Type
1 47065 7 NTFS or HPFS
2 Yes 143706 191 Unknown
3 0 0 None
4 0 0 None
H:\mbr>MBRFIX.EXE /drive 0 savembr Indy.bin
H:\mbr>MBRFIX.EXE /drive 0 fixmbr /vista
H:\mbr>MBRFIX.EXE /drive 0 /partition 1 setactivepartition
H:\mbr>MBRFIX.EXE /drive 0 restorembr Indy.bin
