NTP might be the least of the security issues here.

Running such an outdated and unpatched version of Solaris (17 years old!) in production is quite unreasonable. There are certainly hundreds of...

I would recommend to avoid doing it. If you properly tell Solaris where to install itself, i.e. a free primary partition, existing file systems and data stored on other primary partitions won't be...

Correct. No action is necessary.


showrev -p is providing four pieces of information for each patch already installed in your Solaris 10 or older machine.

The most common cause is an uninstalled graphic environment.

This can be fixed by running:

pkg install solaris-desktop

Try:
/pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@3/disk

The OTN developer licence only allows downloading the last release. Previous ones require a support contract.

I don't know, maybe because the end of features is related to versions, not dates. It is also quite possible that the availability of new versions is not known when these documents are written.

T5220 support ended with Solaris 11.3.

I wouldn't write most BSD, Linux and UNIX systems do not save a file creation time.


FreeBSD traditional file system is UFS2 and the trend is to switch to ZFS. Both of these file systems store...

As long as there are no overlapping areas, that doesn't matter.


If your SSD is a $500k house, these gaps sum up to less than two tenth of a cent...

You didn't lose anything.

Disk vendors report capacities in decimal units while format/fdisk still use binary units.

(12502430343-40)*512 = 6401244315136 bytes = 6.4 TB =...

q1: There are 34 sectors of 512 bytes, but, assuming 4096 bytes actual sectors, that makes 34 * 512 / 4096 = 4.25 sectors (of 4096 bytes each).

q2: Yes I did.

fdisk is reporting 512 bytes sectors but nowadays, disks have 4096 bytes sectors.

The discrepancy between the available size (1172107117 x 512 bytes sectors) and the amount actually used...

Were they performance issues (like thrashing) or reliability issues (like coredumps)?

In general, increasing the swap area size is not expected to significantly improve performance (although in...

What makes you think the script location makes any difference? You can put it in the non-root user's home directory, or almost anywhere (/tmp whould be unwise for example).

Why did you try to reconfigure X? If the font is too small, just use a larger one...

Okay, better to put this in the post body.
Anyway, why are you running Solaris 10u10 and not Solaris 10u11?

Why?

These instructions are more than 20 years old and about Solaris 2.6. That's...

What Solaris 10 update are you running ? (cat /etc/release)

Are you running cde login or gdm ? (svcs -a | grep -w login)

Yes. The issue is the word "swap" has several meanings. When you say "swap allocated", you talk about virtual memory but when you say "swap used", that might still be virtual memory (swap -s) or on...

Three gigabytes of memory were used (i.e. read/written) sometime in the past by some process(es). They have not been accessed for a while so the kernel decided to put the data on disk, to keep the...

Yes, a process needs not to steal memory from another process given the fact that for it to be able to use memory, it first needs to perform a successful allocation.

A process only deals with...

Unless shared memory enter in the game, no it can't.
Virtual space allocated by a process is for its exclusive use. Note again that...

Reservation is a "logical" operation, there is no such thing as a "physical allocation". The only physical operations with memory are read and write.

Both the linked thread and MOS Document are correct.

vmstat is reporting that there is unused RAM and it is true. There is no data stored on that RAM.

malloc fails because there is no more swap...
