illumos

Does anyone here use the SysV binary compat layer? I know it exists, but I don't know if anyone here uses it for anything.

Hello, What are the advantages and disadvantages of FreeBSD compared to Illumos? Thank you.

As I know, Illumos Bhyve is derived directly from Pluribus Networks' code, not ported from FreeBSD and being licensed under CDDL. Does Bhyve strive to be a cross platform hypervisor that no longer tied with FreeBSD or is it just the Illumos guys' own efforts? Does the two Bhyve implementation...

OmniOS booted, installed fine, but the installed system doesn't boot. OpenIndiana booted, but the installation failed because can't create zpool. Today, I tried Tribblix normal variant. It gives a bit more insights into the problems: cpio: can't open/create, errno 28, No space left on device...

As all of the Illumos distros switched to use FreeBSD's loader now, I tried to use bhyveload to load them. It turned out to be not simple as I think. Bhyveload not only unable to load them but also stuck. It's impossible to stop or poweroff the vm with vm-bhyve. Everytime the command doas vm...

I am currently replacing a lot of old backup-patchwork made up of AMANDA jobs and lots of shellscripts with ZFS-based backups. One usage scenario for ZFS replication is for our smartOS zones, where the zone datasets (=mostly zvols for KVM VMs) are being snapshotted and send|received to a storage...

Oracle, just layed off about 2500 people from Solaris, Storage (ZS1/ZFS), SPARC and Library teams, earlier this year 450 people has been layed off. At December 2016 information about Solaris 12.0 being canceled: The Layoff: Solaris being canned, at least 50% of teams to be...

Hello, Today I upgraded my FreeBSD 11-STABLE to recent version r322164. After that I cannot boot from my pool: Booting from Hard Disk... ZFS: unsuported feature: org.illumos.sha512 ZFS: pool zironroot is not supported gptzfsboot: failed to mount default pool zironroot FreeBSD/x86 boot Default...

I have an OpenIndiana fileserver, running Solaris CIFS service in Domain Mode (or in Samba-speak, security = ads). It serves Windows clients without problem, but when I mount the shares on a FreeBSD 10.1 client using mount_smbfs, the command appears to work but the mountpoint remains empty...

I want to install for Angie's computer, OpenIndiana. In the past I used for a little OpenSolaris and was just wonderfull. Αngie don't do a lot of things but it's ok. Because of me, knows very well what Unix is and how works. Uses Libreoffice, watch Youtube videos, listen music and read-create...

Is the FreeBSD ZFS project using the illumos ZFS code as it's upstream source? The page at http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS appears to suggest that illumos is the new upstream for ZFS, but I want to check to make sure. I am just unable to find the canonical history under...

possibly by taking drivers code and libc from FreeBSD and meshing it with OpenSolaris carcass. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODQ2Mg http://hg.illumos.org/illumos/rev/c8da1d642945
