Hi guys.
Am about to install Solaris10 x86 and I was wondering if there are any news as to whether it is possible or not to install the os on an external drive, especially firewire, I suppose I will have to open my tower and put in the drive to install it..the machine I want to put it on,... (0 Replies)
I have a 1TB hard disk that I had partitioned on a Sun clone and had 7 partitions of 137GB a piece. (Using a USB to SATA adaptor)
I then had loaded a new hard disk on my laptop (T60...Lenova) with Solaris 10 X86. I tried to mount the hard disk but it kept telling me the mount point was busy and I... (2 Replies)

Hi All,
Anyone has configured a Sunix Sata S150 card (AKA Initio Inic-1622) + disk in a Solaris10/x86 05/09 system? I wondered what to do to get it running. The Sunix card does not come with a Solaris driver ;-(
The card is seen by the system as the prtconf -v output shows (see below at the... (0 Replies)

I can't mount flash drives and dvd drives on my x86 solaris 10.
The error message appears after login; sd_media_watch_cb: dev gone.
When I issue #mount /usb, it first shows disk is mounted or busy, and

it. But the... (5 Replies)
Hi all,

ppmd - file-to-file compressor
SYNTAX
ppmd [e|d] [switches] filename...|wildcard...
DESCRIPTION
It is written for embedding in user programs mainly and it is not intended for immediate use. I was interested in speed and performance
improvements of abstract PPM model [1-6] only, without tuning it to particular data types, therefore compressor works good enough for
texts, but it is not so good for nonhomogeneous files (executables) and for noisy analog data (sounds, pictures etc.). Program is very mem-
ory consuming, you can choose balance between execution speed and memory economy, on one hand, and compression performance, on another
hand, with the help of model order selection option (-o).
OPTIONS -d Delete file[s] after processing, default: disabled.
-s Silent mode.
-fName Set output file name to Name.
-mN Use N MB memory - [1,256], default: 10. The PPMII algorithm might need a lot of memory, especially when used on large files and/or
used with large model order. If ppmd needs more memory than you give it, the compression will be worse. The exact effect is depen-
dent on the -r option.
-oN Set model order to N - [2,16], default: 4. Bigger model orders almost surely results in better compression and surely more memory
and CPU usage.
-r{0,1,2}
Methods of restoration of model correctness at memory insufficiency:
'-r0 - restart model from scratch'. This method is not optimal for any type of data sources, but it works fast and efficient in
average, so it is the recommended method (default).
'-r1 - cut off model'. This method is optimal for quasistationary sources when the period of stationarity is much larger than
period between cutoffs. As a rule, it gives better results, but it is slower than other methods and it is unstable against fragmen-
tation of memory heap at high model orders and low memory.
'-r2 - freeze model'. This method is optimal for stationary sources (show me such source when You will find it ;-)). It is fast
and efficient for such sources.
EXAMPLES
To run this program the standard way type:
ppmd e /tmp/myfile
Alternatively you can run it as:
ppmd -e -o 16 /tmp/myfile
