It's usually in `/etc/svc/` but that's an internal detail. 09:37:05 After setting a property, you should generally refresh the service to it to take effect in the current snapshot - `svcadm refresh pkgsrc/bind` 09:37:22 and you might need to restart it depending on how the service manifest is written 09:38:03 andyf_ thank you! 09:38:09 I love XML! 09:38:22 okay that sounded like sarcasm, but I really meant it :)) 09:38:42 I feel like there should be a hier(7) 09:38:53 It is not a view I hear often! 09:39:27 filesystem(7) 09:40:03 andyf_ danke! <3 09:48:56 another silly question, say I want to log some data, say it's bind/named. should I put it in /var/log/named or is there an illumos-y/SMF-y way to do it? 11:31:55 I've seen different strategies, but I think /var/log is a reasonable option. I've seen /var/log/opt/local/bind before, and even /var/opt/llocal/log/bind 15:18:22 [illumos-gate] 14444 Convert dladm(8) to mdoc -- Andy Fiddaman 15:27:46 xml isn't that bad... and has a number of things that can in circumstances make it nicer than json 18:54:58 It's no YAML, that's for sure 19:21:23 yeah, no hanging a ruler off your screen :P 19:21:55 but having a schema specification that you can validate things against can be nice for some uses... 19:22:34 i don't think anything's really emerged like that for JSON as something common (though ISTR many attempts that never seemed to gain traction) 19:34:29 While reviewing Carlos's LX tcp_info mods for SmartOS, I realized that our TCP keep tcp_rto in MILLISECONDS which might fall-down-go-boom in a world where ping-times are measured in 10s-even-100s of MICROSECONDS. 19:37:01 Moving it out of clock_t's probably would be reasonable. 19:37:40 Especially given that we have other data that is used to calculate it in terms of hrtime_t's. 19:38:05 Exactly. 19:38:23 That may be a large knit item we unravel if we go down that path, however. 19:38:49 @sommerfeld *might* have more of that cached in his head... 19:39:20 I'm sure there's a lot. But if you're going to address it, I'd probably try to eliminate the reliance on ticks as much as plausible. 19:43:55 (Hence my comment about the large knit item being unravelled.) 20:36:09 [illumos-gate] 15989 Contention in kidmap_cache_lookup*() on global mutexes -- Gordon Ross 21:52:59 Is there a guide or man page on how to take an NVMe drive and configure it such that you're using, say, 33% of its capacity so the other 66% can be sacrificed to the drive's wear-balancers? 21:53:39 (ah shit, I hit return too soon... I'm AFK for the rest of today, and I wanted to paste that into another window for tomorrow) 21:54:08 danmcd: Not really with what we have at this moment. 21:54:29 But there are two different pieces here. If the device supports namespace management, you can carve that up to be different at some point. 21:54:33 On my SATA SSDs I just use format(1) and partition off chunks for not being used. 21:54:37 However, some vendors offer a resize bit. 21:55:53 I've not yet plugged it in to my HDC so can't tell what I have just yet. Too much else going on for HDC HW maintenance right now. 21:58:30 So absent namespace management you can still do that same thing. 21:58:48 You have a partition table on the device and can also just not partition the whole namespace (which is kind of not sort of like a LUN) 22:03:25 Thank you. I've a 250GB "data center" M.2 SSD. I'd like to use 80-90 of it for slog. Eventually i'll pair it with a same-size 250GB M.2 SSD and mirror them. 22:03:55 THis will allow me to stop overloading my boot SSDs (which are 500GB and only have 150GB in active partitions). 23:11:22 danmcd I just fixed the cstyle nits, thank you for looking into this
