Hey, key developers need to be able to distract their kiddos long enough to get work done... :)

I've left (and so have my now-college-age-kids lef) that phase, but HDC 2 *did* run quite a bit of minecraft. (I'm on HDC3 now.)

hello all, how to change/limit ARC size without change /etc/system file on SmartOS? what’s the command? if I wang to limit ARC max size to 16GB, Thanks in advance for the help

is it a good idea to get smartos on a desktop pc to load linux for daily computing needs?

nodae: nope

why? what would be instead?

nodae : you would probably struggle to get your desktop hardware supported

like the nvidia gpu...

SmartOS is a hypervisor, meant for DC workloads. If you are going to use to use it for your workstation, just like other hypervisors you will need to create a VM and pass through your GPU and USB devices etc

danmcd: Minecraft is not a phase, it's a life choice :P

HAH!

Is there any performance data out there on using compression on the dataset behind a bhyve volume?

natefoo: It's almost always advantageous to enable compression.

The CPU can compress/decompress faster than the I/O bus can transfer uncompressed data.

You might be able to find some corner case with a very specific scenario where that's not the case. But in general, compression is almost always a good idea.

I just setup a pkgdev environment according to these docs here: github.com/TritonDataCenter/pkgsrc/wiki/pkgdev:building Im interested in building openjdk21 with some updates. When I try and build from the chroot environment it complains...=> Returning to build of openjdk21-1.21.0.1.12nb1

ERROR: This package is only available for these platforms: NetBSD-*-i386 NetBSD-*-x86_64 NetBSD-*-aarch64.

ERROR: This package has set PKG_SKIP_REASON:

ERROR: openjdk21-1.21.0.1.12nb1 is not available for SunOS-5.11-x86_64

*** Error code 255

Is there a different place that builds for SmartOS should be built from? I'm in /data/pkgsrc/lang/openjdk21

I ask because there is a joyent directory with some openjdk stuff in there. But not for openjdk21

I think at current it doesn't build properly.

You might want to reach out to ptribble. He's done previous openjdk builds, up through 17 I think.

Got it. Thanks for the tip.

Someone else was recently talking about openjdk21 being broken, so the issue you're experiencing is probably the currently expected behavior.

We often need some patches to get a new openjdk release to build.

I think that was me. Yesterday I was on here asking about that.

That might have been. I thought it was on the discord though.

Either way, I think the person best suited to answer those questions is ptribble.

Ah. Perhaps there are others. :)

Thanks for the tip, I'll reach out to this ptribble user. Thanks.

This is all because Oracle removed support for not only illumos, but (bewilderingly) Solaris as well.

Peter has a blog post about the 17 work here: ptribble.blogspot.com/2021/12/keeping-java-alive-on-illumos.html

Their own build of Solaris?

Yeah, as far as I understand the most recent release of Java that supports Solaris is 11.

Just got done reading the blog you linked. Thanks for that. What a crazy thing that Oracle isn't providing support for their own OS. Is Solaris a second class citizen for Oracle now? Are they favoring Linux?

bahamat: perfect, thanks!

hello all, I want to change my ARC_MAX size from current 141G to 64G on smartos, what’s the command can do that without reboot?

anyone could guide/show me the command? Thanks in advance
