Seit gestern gibt es auf developers.sun.com eine eigene Seite fuer CMT Systeme. Dort sind all die Dokumente verzeichnet, die man bisher mehr oder weniger muehevoll zusammensuchen musste. Ein wenig Marketing ist sicher auch dabei, aber der Gedanke von "One Stop Shopping" wurde schoen umgesetzt. Nebenbei kann ich nicht umhin zu bemerken, dass auch dieser mein Blog dort verzeichnet ist --- das ist schon ein wenig schmeichelhaft ;-)

The Compiz window manager comes ready to use on OpenSolaris (so yes, you can even run it from the Live CD). It does require a decent graphics card on your end though. The best way to find out if it will work on your system is to try it. Select System > Preferences > Appearance and then the Visual Effects tab. From there you can try selecting Normal, Extra or Custom (which is where the real fun begins): If things go really haywire, don't worry, everything should revert back to...

If you ever need to share your desktop, OpenSolaris comes pre-installed with a VNC server. You can find it under System > Preferences > Desktop Sharing: The beauty of the OpenSolaris approach is that the Remote Desktop server includes a Java based VNC client, so you only have to provide a URL to those with whom you wish to share your desktop (that is, they do not need to first install a VNC Viewer). On the client, you simply browse to that URL (Note, the hostname...

I pre-ordered Pro OpenSolaris by Harry Foxwell and Christine Tran many moons ago and it finally arrived last week. Weighing in at just under 16 ounces, I'm looking forward to reading this one during my upcoming travels. Unlike the much chunkier (and therefore travel restricted) OpenSolaris Bible, Pro OpenSolaris assumes you already have some knowledge of "similar operating system" features such as GNOME, networking and the shell. Therefore, if you already have experience with...

How many times a day do you type a command in which you inadvertently forget to prepend with pfexec? For example: bleonard@opensolaris:~$ zfs set compression=on rpoolcannot set property for 'rpool': permission denied Rather than reentering or editing the previous command, you can quickly re-run it using: pfexec !! !! is the bash shortcut for running the previous command.

This may sound counterintuitive, but turning on ZFS compression not only saves space, but also improves performance. This is because the time it takes to compress and decompress the data is quicker than then time it takes to read and write the uncompressed data to disk (at least on newer laptops with multi-core chips). To turn on compression simply run: pfexec zfs set compression=on rpool All the child datasets of rpool will inherit this setting. For...
