Well, been playing with opensolaris and they use mercurial as a DSVN - and another benefit of that over git is that the command set is very much similar to SVN/Subversion - which is important for us people who /don’t/ use it every day.
Migrating was straight-forward:
$ mkdir ~/svn && cd ~/svn $ hgimportsvn https://dubdubdub.co.uk/svn/mike $ find . -name .svn -type d | xargs rm -rf One thing to note when using - which took me a bit of reading to realise - it’s distributed, so if you’ve your own local copy - you have to commit and then push/pull changes out!
well this is slightly surprising, but in a very good way, and does lead to some interesting suggestions on how to best to improve matters, but look at the following graph of FAST ESP query latency:
Notice that the average latency drops as we use the server more … but WHY? Well that’s just because we’re running the FAST indexes on a ZFS based file system and the L2 ARC cache is making it’s presence felt
dladm is a new command with solaris 10 which can do many clever things (I think the general idea behind it is that ifconfig was becoming bloated with features and options that it was a good idea to break the link between the physical network provision and the logical usage)
ie: dladm - physical link provision/configuration ifconfig - logical link configuration Assuming a server with two gigabit ethernet connections connected to two switches (for physical resillience):-
well we made thai massaman curry over the weekend, and it it was pretty good - only downside is that we didn’t make enough rice for a change! But the rice cooker took care of that.
