Monday, June 26. 2006Switching to FeedBurner
Having successfully moved some other blogs of mine to FeedBurner, I've finally decided to do the same here on Solaris 10 blog.
Starting today, all the default Solaris 10 feeds in English will be forwarded automatically to the feedburner.com feed. All the category-specific feeds are going to be still hosted locally. Please let me know if something's not working for you, and I'll do my best to fix it. Thanks in advance! Thursday, June 15. 2006

OpenSolaris: first anniversary
Yes, time flies! It seems almost impossible to believe that it's been a whole year since the official OpenSolaris Opening Day celebration!
Today is the first anniversary for it, so it was only logical for me to attend the 2nd Irish OpenSolaris user group meeting at Sun Microsystems. Tim Foster gave a wonderful OpenSolaris: Year In Review presentation, followed by some impressive ZFS mastery demonstrated by Mike Byrne. Monday, June 12. 2006

2nd Irish OpenSolaris User Group Meeting
I've got an invitation to the second Irish OpenSolaris User Group Meeting from Tim Foster few days ago.
The meeting will be held in one of the Sun Microsystems buildings in the East Point Business Park in Dublin. It will be Wednesday evening, June 14th, 2006 @ 7pm. If you want to know more, please read Tim's blog post on this: 2nd_irish_opensolaris_user_group Thursday, June 8. 2006OpenSolaris BFU anatomy
I think I've covered the basics of updating your OpenSolaris using BFU before. This is the post: OpenSolaris BFU. Back then I've explained the basics of BFUing.
Today I simply would like to tell a bit more about the contents of a BFU archive, using the latest available one as an example: ON b41 After you download and unpack the archive, you will get a directory like this: bash-3.00$ cd /export/dist/archives-b41 bash-3.00$ ls BINARYLICENSE.txt THIRDPARTYLICENSE.BFU-ARCHIVES README.BFU-ARCHIVES.i386 i386 Besides the text files with licenses, it also contains a README file with the full list of files supplied within the BFU along with the architecture-depended directory - i386 (this is because I've downloaded the BFU for my amd64-based box). The i386 subdirectory contains the following: bash-3.00$ cd /export/dist/archives-b41/i386 bash-3.00$ ls -al total 512286 drwxr-xr-x 2 greys other 512 May 30 17:50 . drwxr-xr-x 3 greys other 512 May 30 17:59 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 61585 May 30 17:50 conflict_resolution.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 67812860 May 30 17:50 generic.kernel -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 21769100 May 30 17:50 generic.lib -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 2097796 May 30 17:50 generic.root -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 1100800 May 30 17:50 generic.sbin -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 161510640 May 30 17:50 generic.usr -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 1264640 May 30 17:50 i86pc.boot -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 5329920 May 30 17:50 i86pc.root -rw-r--r-- 1 greys other 1105920 May 30 17:50 i86pc.usr As you can see, these files are nothing but cpio-archives with all the files supplied in the given BFU build: bash-3.00$ file generic.kernel generic.kernel: ASCII cpio archive The README file contains the full list of all the files provided in the BFU archive, split by arhives which contain these files. So, this list has sub-sections named like ==== conflict_resolution.gz ====, or ==== generic.root ====, and so on. If you're keen on finding out what exactly you've got, feel free to browse your archives like this: bash-3.00$ cpio -itv -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 5156384 May 30 17:37 2006, kernel/amd64/genunix drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 0 May 30 17:37 2006, kernel/amd64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 20512 May 14 16:51 2006, kernel/crypto/blowfish -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 46216 May 30 17:36 2006, kernel/crypto/rsa -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 8260 May 14 16:51 2006, kernel/crypto/arcfour -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 35776 May 14 16:51 2006, kernel/crypto/aes -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 12024 May 14 19:05 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64/arcfour2048 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 27936 May 14 19:05 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64/blowfish448 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 48072 May 14 19:05 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64/aes256 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 27928 May 14 16:51 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64/blowfish -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 23640 May 30 17:36 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64/swrand -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 48072 May 14 16:51 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64/aes -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 68352 May 30 17:36 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64/rsa -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 12024 May 14 16:51 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64/arcfour drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 0 May 30 17:36 2006, kernel/crypto/amd64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 14784 May 30 17:36 2006, kernel/crypto/swrand ... And if you want to check quickly, whether a particular file is part of the BFU, then that's how you do it: bash-3.00$ grep sbin/tar README.BFU-ARCHIVES.i386 ... and just in case you want to compare it against the existing file you have in your current environment, it's very easy to get the full listing of this file's entry in an archive: bash-3.00$ cpio -itv lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 30 17:17 2006, usr/bin/tar -> ../sbin/tar -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 83788 May 30 17:49 2006, usr/sbin/tar That's it for today. Good luck with your OpenSolaris experiments! Thursday, June 8. 2006

I'm thinking of turning some of my blog entries into small independent how-tos, and so I'd like to list all the currently available Solaris 10 how-tos from Sun. I think I've mentioned one of them before - the Solaris 10 installation how-to. If you haven't read any of these - please do, it's definitely worth your time:
