01:21:35 hirigaray it's a really an amazing OS. Install a more general purpose one, like OmniOS, and start playing with it 01:22:05 hirigaray I also started "illumos Weekly News", here's the first article! https://news.illumos.am/2024w07/ 03:18:17 Have fun with your shitware. 04:03:32 rmustacc: it looks like we don't hook into enhanced MCA support on xeons or acpi's apei.. do you know if that was a deliberate (doesn't buy much) or more 'no one's had time to do it?' 04:14:02 APEI is more of a no one was bothered. 04:14:16 But I might need a more specific pointer on the 'enhanced MCA' bit. 04:14:24 A lot of it also is a tradeoff between firmware first and not. 04:15:02 Do you have a pointer to something in the EDS or some other doc for context on the enhanced MCA stuff? 04:15:16 I know we're not properly leveraging AMD MCA-X right now, wihch is on a queue somewhere. 04:58:51 https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/671064/329176-mca-enhancements-in-intel-xeon-processors.pdf 05:04:30 Ah, so it's yet another SMI path that maybe means you can't do useful stuff with it. 05:05:13 I mean, that's why I wrote the imc driver instead. 05:05:36 So I wouldn't use enhanced MCA for memory PFA personally. 05:06:34 But especially after the incidents I dealt with at Joyent I guess I don't trust firmware first. 06:11:41 yeah, it's crappy, but i guess is it worse than not utilizing it.. i mean it seems like aside from the oxide stuff, your choices are to use it or do nothing since it seems like every vendor has gone that route 13:30:39 Can I somehow tell the kernel to try and allocate less memory at boot? 13:30:54 I rebooted one of my linodes on omnios-lts and it now stack traces that it cna't allocate memory 14:25:19 how much ram did you gave to the vm? 14:29:10 1G 15:21:19 We might've found a bug with `zoneadm -z zone1 clone -m copy zone0` 15:21:24 here's the output from my terminal 15:23:19 Here's the output 15:23:19 http://build0.illumos.am/zoneadm_clone_copy.txt 15:23:37 the line "/usr/lib/brand/ipkg/clone: -m: unknown option" makes me sad 16:13:22 The perils of having the zoneadm command and the brand scripts it calls being independently developed 16:13:33 a few questions about config cpuid: 1.) when need to configure cpuid? 2.) how to config the cpuid, any detailed document? there is a example on “Configuring cpuid” section on https://github.com/oxidecomputer/propolis/tree/master/bin/propolis-standalone , a big thanks for the answer 16:14:31 does SmartOS support config cpuid? or propolis supports it only, thanks again. 16:15:08 SmartOS exposes this through the 'cpu_type' property in vmadm. 16:22:35 ptribble indeed. any docs on how to fix this? Seems like a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it. I think the `-m` flag needs some love, we can have `-m deep` for zfs send/recv, as an example. 16:24:11 rmustacc: thanks for the information, 16:37:06 antranigv the brand scripts, under /usr/lib/brand, are generally just shell scripts that aren't too hard to follow 16:37:31 ptribble thank you! I was looking for that. I found /etc/brand, but it was pretty much empty-ish 16:37:52 But the different distributions generally have their own completely independent versions 19:20:57 [illumos-gate] 16308 dis mishandles EVEX.V' -- Robert Mustacchi 19:32:48 antranigv: thank you 21:02:00 Now that we are actually more widely using LXC for my day job, may I sing in harmony with all those who have expressed frustration with it. 21:03:23 (only about half our workload seems to be able to run under unprivileged containers without problems) 22:55:22 copec what did you use before? 23:00:37 All libvirt controlled qemu/kvm, everything we run managed via saltstack. I started using OpenSolaris when 10 came out, and then illumos at home, but alwasy been debian/ubuntu for day job 23:02:12 antranigv ^ 23:04:15 copec any way to convince dayjob to move to illumos? :)) 23:04:42 Other than running the Docker daemon and some GPU workload, I'm having a hard time choosing Linux these days. 23:10:15 I've been trying to!
