Bullet proof Solaris!
Saturday, December 29th, 2007One thing I found out about the Solaris OS is that regardless of system load or runlevel, you could always ping the box. Even when you rm -rf / Ok, so that wasn’t always true, somtimes it was powered off, but its pretty close. Solaris appears to have gained another ability……Despite a “failed” install of build 78 of OpenSolaris which collapsed at 85% completion, the machine still appears to have installed well. It boots, JDS works fine, ZFS is happy, and nothing has crashed (yet). 
This is another shining example why those guys down in the Sun labs deserve a pay rise!!! Now, if only they could fix a gigabit ethenet bug thats affecting me……
