I started to use zfs on OS X. After some panics it seems to run stable. Because I became annoyed from the ugly icon which appeared every time I activated my zfs-pool, I hacked an icon using Preview. It shows the four My Book devices which I used to create the pool. Probably I will take some time to make a better one with The Gimp.
Today I installed Solaris 10 on Parallels, because I’ve trouble to get puppet running on my fresh leopard machine. After successful installation I realized that there was no network adapter configured. To enable the NIC I had to use /Library/Parallels/Tools/vmtools.iso as the cdrom-drive. It will be automounted. On Solaris I’ve made #!/bin/bash # installs paralells network driver on solaris 10 cd /cdrom/prltools/drivers/network/rtl8029/solaris ./network.sh this installs the correct driver for the NIC and configures it.
