[illumos-gate] 17183 SID "findroot" test can temporarily enable idmap -- Dan McDonald <danmcd⊙mi>

good old motif:P

I will try this SGI IRIX 5dwm revival when my FreeBSD VM has working X output again!

Looks very interesting!

MaXXdesktop 2.2.0 (release) now available!

Guys, I just tested the MAXXDesktop on Oracle Linux 9! See my screenshot: gist.github.com/adriankiess/da7ab856a24437e2987c993b2b6f37e4 — This is SGI IRIX 5Dwm ported to Linux and FreeBSD!

Looks nice. Was it difficult to port?

iprog4u: I have not ported it! Please got to the website docs.maxxinteractive.com to contact the porter!

Ah, I see. Still, nice you got it running!

I can even run the 3D demos packaged with the window manager on my Oracle Linux VM with 3D support, they run fluently!

I am using this on a Intel Core-i5 7500 passthrough VM.

Google seems to think I can create a zpool with ZFS on Linux and access it from Illumos and have no problems so long as I check feature flags...

that should be so.

(I need a bare metal linux boot to help debug VDE networking, it supposedly works with qemu on linux, does not work with simh on any platform.) If I do a ZOL install, I could maybe boot illumos on the same machine later using the same zpool with some care

I was actually asking about zpool versions and google told me to be careful of feature flags instead

I seem to remember that at one point ZoL was an older zpool version than other implementations so I checked

the pool version is fixed by two points - one is creation fork from opensolaris when Oracle did close the project (v28 I believe) and second is when feature flags were introduced (6000, if im not mistaken). This was done to help to identify what we are dealing with.

I haven't looked closely but SPL seems like a cleaner thing that the way linuxisms have been ported into both Illumos and various BSDs for stuff like DRM/DRI and some usb device support

s/that/than

SPL is also much more narrow target

well, I admit I haven't read the details and hence don't actually know other than speculation

well, next time I'll try the zpool, the linux boot media I'm using is unsuitable and I really want to get back to my vde work.

I'll be checking it on Illumos too, it doesn't work on dragonfly BSD with simh, trying to chase down where it *does* actually work.

for actual pool sharing you also need to be careful about partitioning.

it's on my "try next time" list

for now I made that test machine with ext4 since I'm testing something specific and ZoL is a special install because of the CDDL/GPL issue that only Canonical blatantly ignores

fixing vde is enough of a detour when all I want it for is networking for simh that lets me do decnet between multiple physical hosts running different simh machines

I'm pleased a bit that my playing with simh might fix something cool that would be generally useful to others but it wasn't the original goal.

tsoome_: 5000 I think, but yeah

yes, indeed, its 5000

thanks:)
