Bob,

Now that is an extremely interesting finding. I guess storage vendors 
are gonna have to
encased storage devices so they are more than just sound proof. Maybe 
the idea of using
shock absorbers is not so far fetch.

I guess we now have an new way of looking at "LOAD BALANCING"... :)

Solaris 10 - sar rotatiing after 10 days

Hi all,

I currently have sar enabled on a Solaris 10 server, using the default  
configuration, and I was wondering how I would go about retaining more  
than 10 days worth of data in /var/adm/sa.  Is there a config file  
where I can adjust this?

Thanks.

Paul

Re: Solaris 10 - sar rotatiing after 10 days

I believe by default there is no removal of sar files, they just get 
truncated and overwritten every 30-31 days or so.

I am using the same 1.5TB drive on Open Solaris 11/08 without any
issues.  I just ran fdisk to create the label, then created a zpool.

All is fine.

boot filesystem modification

I dual-boot my laptop.

I need to expand my Vista on NTFS FDISK partition at the expense
of my Solaris Nevada on ZFS.

My plan is:
1. boot MilaX on my USB thumb drive.
2. zfs send the snapshots of my Live Upgrade ZFS filesystems to
a USB external drive.
3. delete my Solaris fdisk partition
4. boot Vista and enlarge C:
5. boot Milax and do the ZFS receive to a new smaller Solaris fdisk
partition.
6. installgrub
7. boot Nevada and resume work.

# zfs list
NAME                     USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
mpool                   24.0G  2.56G    34K  /mpool
mpool/ROOT              23.0G  2.56G    18K  /mpool/ROOT
mpool/ROOT/zfsBE        34.2M  2.56G  11.0G  /.alt.tmp.b-5Db.mnt/
mpool/ROOT/zfs_snv_103  55.8M  2.56G  8.59G  /.alt.tmp.b-Mn.mnt/
mpool/ROOT/zfs_snv_104  22.9G  2.56G  9.01G  /.alt.zfs_snv_104
mpool/dump               519M  2.56G   519M  -
mpool/swap               518M  3.07G  1.30M  -

I'm a naive ZFS and Live Upgrade user, so would appreciate the sanity
check.

Also, I'm looking at Western Digital's USB powered external

0.16.6,REV=2004.10.26
This is the version that is shown on both blastwave and opencsw
Where is 0.16.8.15 available? Blastwave? OpenCSW? Ohh, how I hate this
difference.
