[illumos-gate] 16429 zpool hot spare replacement not grabbing similar/appropriate sized drive -- Andy Fiddaman <illumos⊙fn>

thanks andyf

Will that be backportedd to 151046?

You're welcome. It will likely be in next week's OmniOS updates for r46/r48/r50.

great!

The hosts that need it are scheduled for patching on 11 JUN so that's plenty of time.

[illumos-gate] 16524 driver for 38xx HBA in illumos -- Stuart Maybee <smaybee⊙tc>

Woodstock: I have definitely found raw framebuffer performance to vary from system to system haha

I believe tsoome made some changes so that we only _write_ to the video region now, without ever reading back, so the writes can all be posted -- this helped _a lot_ with, say, systems with a BMC-emulated VGA adapter

github.com/oxidecomputer/clock makes direct use (not through wscons) of the framebuffer mapping, essentially, and works perhaps surprisingly well even on a relatively low end system (Dell Wyse 3040)

yep. you never want to read from write combined memory:)

yeeeah

there's something else very odd with that system, installing OI took more than 12h :)

That's excruciating

And yes there must surely be some underlying issue there

it's a thinkcentre m600, intel pentium n3000 1.04ghz :)

but it shouldn't be that slow

is it still slow after the install, or did you give up after 12 hours?

ide cd acting up? or is the shell prompt slow as well?

oh yeah, if it's IDE, that's going to be painful, but shouldn't be that painful

our IDE driver is still PIO

and I doubt anyone's interested in the effort to add DMA support to it

hrm... is mac_soft_ring.h considered 'private' to mac? we don't ship it, but I thought the (very informal) convention was to add _impl for more 'private' things

(i'm at least prototyping out adding the packet disturber stuff to flows, but trying to figure out the 'best' place to share bits for tx/rx

if it works well enough, i'll throw it up for review...

there are though a few differences in behavior compared w/ ipd, but i suspect given the use case for it, it's probably ok

mainly on tx

since you might have a chain of packets... easy enough to just drop or corrupt one packet in the chain, but delay would end up delaying all of the packets in a chain w/o getting complicated

anyone here familiar with fmtopo? I'm trying to set LOCATE on a drive bay and I'm stuck with the -P arugments.

nm, I think I've figured it out.
