01:47:23 <jbk> i didn't even know it existed until you mentioned it
01:48:54 <jbk> though looking at it, since it seems to be a way to quickly map a 32-bit value to a pointer (at least in the few places it's used), i'm guessing the assumption is the things it's trying to 'map' are going to be heap allocated objects
16:48:17 <gitomat> [illumos-gate] 17876 newlocale should understand how libstdc++ names composite locales -- Bill Sommerfeld <sommerfeld⊙ho>
18:26:53 <jbk> uugh
18:28:34 <jbk> (more fighting installboot)
18:36:34 <nomad> Sounds like a country/western band name.
18:37:02 <vab> nomad I'll put on my installboots. ;-)
18:37:50 <jbk> i'll be opening some tickets
18:38:16 <jbk> it's error handling 'needs work'
18:38:40 <nomad> Our headliner act, "The Fighting Installboots"
18:38:51 <jbk> (which is to say, it would make one want to embrace the cold sweet caress of death)
18:40:02 <nomad> jbk: I appreciate your sacrafice.
22:27:16 <jbk> also fun: the FAT32 implementation in this system's firmware apparently has buggy write support
22:27:38 <richlowe> do... people have the firmware do a lot of writes?
22:27:53 <jbk> well i was trying to copy a file on the UEFI system partition from the UEFI shell
22:28:00 <richlowe> whew
22:28:05 <jbk> which rendered it unreadable to UEFI
22:28:14 <richlowe> I'm going to guess they don't then :)
22:28:14 <jbk> (yet not to illumos)
22:28:52 <jbk> yeah... just booting from virtual takes somewhere on the order of 40 minutes on this machine... so I was trying to avoid that
22:29:12 <richlowe> I, uh, what?
22:29:20 <jbk> err virtual iso
22:29:29 <richlowe> is it reading byte-by-byte or something?
22:29:37 <richlowe> is it emulating 1x to be safe?
22:29:47 <richlowe> why is everything bad :)
22:29:50 <jbk> well i think it does you java, so... :)
22:30:11 <jbk> granted sun eventually fixed that at least on solaris
22:30:39 <jbk> (if you ever tried symon and wondered why it was making your hard drive scream in agony, it was issuing 1 byte syscalls)
22:30:54 <jbk> it being the jre
22:58:14 <tsoome> it was quite amusing bug.
23:03:45 <jbk> i was actually astonished when I figured out what was going on
23:05:19 <jbk> like here was was maybe a year or so out of college (if that)... and _I_ knew why that was a horrible thing to do... I sort of (naively) assumed that Sun would have done better :P
23:13:03 <sommerfeld> andyf: FYI something is wrong with reverse DNS for mail.citrus-it.net. - getting SERVFAIL;  dig @8.8.8.8 -x 89.248.55.103 has some diagnostics 
23:17:27 <andyf> sommerfeld - Thank you, will get it fixed!
23:18:00 <sommerfeld> looks like both scorpion.citrus-it.net and trinidad.citrus-it.net forgot that they were supposed to be authoritative for a chunk of reverse space..
23:18:50 <andyf> Well those are brand new servers that very recently replaced the old ones, and it looks like something is wrong with the reverse DNS..
23:27:59 <sommerfeld> from here it looks like they're missing the 64/26.55.248.89.in-addr.arpa. zone (love those weirdo rfc2317 names..)
23:39:23 <andyf> That looks a bit better now. Thanks again for letting me know
23:39:33 <sommerfeld> yes, looks better from here as well.
