So where will I be able to buy this, and for how much? Can I drop by and get a signed copy? ;) -Moazam

Very cool stuff from the current TOC: Global Memory Allocation, The Cyclic Page Cache, Solaris Resource Management, MDB (Many thanks for the team for adding this !), DTrace, Zones and resource management, The Solaris Network Stack, Process Rights Management, the Appendix B Adding A System Call to Solaris ... Gee a very long list !

Is there anything about libumem ? Looking forward to get the book !

I just ordered mine from Staceys: http://www.staceys.com/ I don't want to rush you guys, but the UPS truck is idling waiting to pick up and deliver the book.

Hi Richard. The TOC looks like the book will be awesome! Thanks for the great work. Some things I noticed and comments/suggestions: [ It's great to see chapters on mdb and kmdb. I know these are the weapons of choice for kernel (and device-driver) debugging, but mdb was clearly written by stoned aliens for use by drunk aliens. MDB needs all the explanation it can get - the syntax and commands are virtually impenetrable. Attracting new developers (especially device driver developers - an area where Solaris is perennially weak) means those of us that were raised on gdb need (much) more information that seems to be presently available. Something to consider. ] [ I think DTrace needs more depth as it is new up-and-coming alternative weapon of choice for debugging and performance work at all levels of the system. Maybe some more examples and/or depth in the discussion? (I am going strictly by page count while I am sure your writing will continue to be of the highest standards). ] [ Maybe some discussion of the effects of OpenSolaris and how that might feed back into the kernel? Maybe a "top-ten" list of areas Sun would like to see improved in the kernel through the OpenSolaris effort(s)? ] [ SPARC gets its very own chapter, x86 doesn't? Hm. Most people (outside Sun) recognize that x86/x64 is where it's at these days, not SPARC. SPARC may have a niche, but it's buried in huge server rooms for relatively narrow tasks. The real volumes are in x86/x64. I know SPARC is a religion at Sun, but my little slice of the "real world" says SPARC is, has been, and will continue to be an albatross. ] [ I understand that the blastware guys have an OpenSolaris build on PowerPC. Maybe some mention of that effort/ramifications somewhere would be nice. How cool would it be to run Solaris on IBM's PowerPC systems? ] [ More discussion of realtime in Solaris is needed. It's the forgotten jewel and begs to definitively described in detail. I have some of Bryan Cantrill's (now very) old charts, some dating back to when there was serious consideration given to dropping realtime support altogether in Solaris 8, but realtime in Solaris needs more press! ] Just my 2 cents. Okay, you got 4 this time... Thanks, Dave

It is marvelous. I found the chapter of kernel bootstrap and initialization was removed. why? It is important (at least to me) for porting.

Thanks for the comments! I've updated the TOC with the latest. Re the comment on SPARC centric, we had been moving the SPARC specifics into the appropriate sections, so there is no longer a whole chapter. The book has some good coverage of x86/x64 in the MDB and Memory chapters.

Re the comment on DTrace, the book is filled with MDB and DTrace examples; every chapter has coverage. The DTrace "chapter" is just an intro.

Richard.

I'd only wish you had included some explanation about the internals os ZFS :(

Posted by Pablo Méndez on January 22, 2006 at 11:12 AM PST #

Hi Pablo, There is a lot of interest in finishing the ZFS chapter(s), and subsequent volumes are not out of the question at this stage. Thanks, Richard.

Posted by Richard McDougall on January 23, 2006 at 10:27 AM PST #

Re boot, a new boot infrastructure based on Grub has replaced what we had before, and we don't yet have a writeup for it. This is a further opportunity for subsequent volumes... THanks, Richard.

Dtrace, Zones, Solaris 10 network stack... good stuff!!!! Can't wait!!

Posted by Jason Montgomery on January 24, 2006 at 07:35 AM PST #

Hi Richard. I'm looking forward to the ZFS chapters too. Bless you!

Richard and Jim... What could I say about the new version ? Perfect. Really, I believe it would be impossible do it better. That's a pity I live so far from USA for ask you signed my copy, but that's all right. I'm very happy for be able to learn much more through your book. Congratulations and you have a nice week.

For me, this book is really criticial if I am to fairly address how (in-house) applications for Solaris scales with "on-chip multiprocessing" vs (in-house) applications for RHEL on Opteron/Itanium with comparable "dual-core" and "hyperthreading" respectively. My ($110 million/year) contract is at an interesting point. Do we re-invest in SUN technology? Or do we invest in RHEL on "commodity" hardware?

It is relatively easy to find in depth information on the linux Native POSIX Thread library, 0(1) scheduler, and how to best leverage AMD and Intel processors. It's been more difficult for me to find similar information that would help justify our continued investment in SUN technology.

Thank you so much more publishing a newer addition on my favorite commercial Unix. Keep up the excellent work.

Hi Richard/Jim,
I just downloaded the TOC and I don't see a ZFS chapter? I'm hoping that this book will have a really in-depth review of ZFS and how it relates to the kernel internals. ZFS is very important, because it resolves the brittleness of UFS and provides a filesystem that'll be easily extended/enhanced well into the future. The only impediment, for a potential ZFS code contributor, is the difficulty of understanding the highly techical codebase well enough to be able to contribute to it.

I'm looking forward to the new release of the book. Let me know if you need help reviewing any of it.

Regards,

Hi. Nice car on the front cover! toc looks daunting. I'm new to solaris but it'll be nice to know something under the hood and do debugging and stuff.
