09:52:42 Any thoughts on porting OpenZFS back to illumos and having it first class citizen in it, fundamental differences feasibility, benefits 14:11:02 it's just a matter of enough people having the interest and time to do the work... there is one bit I need to finish (mostly just a bit of plumbing) to address a breaking on-disk format change that openzfs didn't catch... 14:11:21 also would probably would want to stay a bit back from the latest if anyone were to do it 16:58:34 is there any illumos release that works for ampere? ( an AArch64/ARMv8 ) 17:39:24 Thanks to jclulow for setting it up, there's a new mailing list for those interested in all aspects of illumos on SPARC 17:39:28 https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/sparc 17:39:31 Nothing there yet, but I thought I would give those interested a chance to join before starting up some conversations 17:52:44 That reminds me. I have a Sparcstation LX sitting on a shelf in my server room. It worked last time I powered it up - well over a decade ago - but I make no promises. I'd like it to be useful so if anyone wants it it's yours for the cost of shipping from the US Pacific NW. 18:01:33 I have a 440mhz Ultra 10 in the attic. I might have to dig it out and see if Tribblix runs on it :) 18:05:00 I remember the LX (and Solaris 2 on it, which really wasn't ready at the time). That's a museum or retrocomputing target. 18:05:55 The Ultra 10 may well work (the Tribblix installer will need at least 768M RAM at the moment though) 18:08:42 A quick browse on eBay, and some of the very old sparc boxes have some expensive price tags attached 18:09:57 I still have a couple of V210s in a datacentre, but have them powered off as they pull an amp each (at UK ~240V) and that was getting pricey 18:11:25 I feel so generous :) 18:21:38 nomad: sparcstation at the cost of shipping? 18:21:48 that's a remarkably generous offer 18:29:55 I do everything I can to avoid fleBay and I'm not using the thing. 18:30:08 Are we talking generous $$$ or generous $$$$$? 18:31:15 $1800??? Given my upcoming 50% income reduction maybe I should reconsider. 18:41:35 yeah might be worth selling it there! 18:52:47 is the last fujitsu sparc hardware much better? not only is it unobtainable, but the website suggests they draw something like 200W idle in 1U 18:55:02 and of course no-one who would write about it (nice people with blogs) can afford to write about it, if fujitsu even sold them to small businesses 18:57:43 I don't know about that specifically, but the T4-1 I have here runs at about 400W which is fair enough when in use 19:55:00 hi, everyone! I also have an old Sun 420R, it has over 25 Kilos, the shipping of such beasts is costly. but there is a cheaper US-EU way, floating over the Atlantic, before the winter holidays, there are cargos especially for presents - you can use this way if you really want 21:05:57 I guess 2011 is fairly new, probably only a couple of years older than the current stuff
