[osol-discuss] Sun kicksoff partnership with VM Ware...

Is this interesting? VMware Embraces Sun and Solaris x86 The Register, Ashlee Vance; August 11, 2005 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/11/vmware_sun_deal/ The piece notes that Sun matured a bit this week as an x86 server vendor by kicking off a broad partnership with VMware that will see the companies team on engineering and sales efforts.  The article states, "Sun has secured a small edge over rivals with VMware agreeing to support Solaris 10 x86 as a guest operating system in VMware's desktop and server products.  That puts Sun's version of UNIX next to Windows and Linux as options for customers.  Sun has done a decent job of building out the ISV camp for Solaris x86 and VMware is a fine scalp to take." -- _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss-xZgeD5Kw2fzokhkdeNNY6A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[osol-discuss] zfs and acl, resource controls

hi there, I would like to get known some things for the future of Solaris: 1. http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/samf?anchor=acls_everywhere >Things are getting much better with the arrival of ZFS. The goal of ZFS's ACL >>implementation is to implement NFSv4 ACLs in a way that is compatible with >>Solaris. The ZFS ACL model is still in flux, but it is rapidly solidifying. > >We will be releasing an Internet Draft in the near future, in which we will >>propose a way for UNIX and UNIX-like systems to support NFSv4 ACLs. If all >>goes well, this will be the ACL model used by ZFS. Has anything new happened in this direction ? I mean can we really expect to see fine-grained acls with the arrival of ZFS ? Like on Windows2k3 where you can set alot of permissions (read, read_acl, write, append, ...) instead of just r/w/x, and the options to specific more then one owner, fine-grained inheritance and so on. 1b. Btw, why doesnt sun share the development process of zfs with the community ? Like integrating it into the opensolaris release, but not as the default root filesystem. It would be very clever to get a lot of beta-testing for the filesystem, from a lot of users. Ok maybe its still not ready to get tested but anyway, will sun release the zfs for testing, or will they wait until its finished and ready for production-use ? If it will opened for testing (before the final release), when would this happen (approximal) ? I heart the final zfs wont be released this year. 2. Now from access control to resource control. Can we expect to see more fine-grained resource controls in the future ? I want to seperate the resources for users on my shell. But atm there is just the option to set cpu/shares, and some memory settings. I would like to see finer control like the ckrm approach for linux (ckrm.sourceforge.net). For example limiting disk bandwidth (r/w speed) and incoming+outgoing network traffic (I know about qos, but its not possible to count the amount of incoming traffic on a per user base). I really like to have full control over everything users can do on my computer ;) Thanks for your opinions in advance !
