Solaris 11 Locale en_GB.UTF-8 / en_GB.ISO8859-1 / en_GB.ISO8859-15

When you install Solaris 11/11 from standard text installer cdrom, the en_GB-UTF-8 locales are not installed, even if you select British locales on install.

EDIT 4th FEB 2018 - Still valid for Solaris 11.4 Beta. 

To make sure packages are have the correct localisation, IPS uses facet as a localisation personality.
$ pkg facet
FACETS VALUE
facet.locale.pt_BR True
facet.locale.es_ES True
facet.locale.en_US True
facet.locale.zh_TW True
facet.locale.zh_CN True
facet.locale.de_DE True
facet.locale.fr_FR True
facet.locale.it_IT True
facet.locale.ko_* True
facet.locale.ja_* True
facet.locale.es True
facet.locale.de True
facet.locale.zh True
facet.locale.ko True
facet.locale.it True
facet.locale.pt True
facet.locale.fr True
facet.locale.en True
facet.locale.ja True
facet.locale.* False


As you can see no en_GB is described and "facet.locale.* False" is a deny everything else rule. So let change this. I'm assuming you have a Solaris 11 repository already configured. Install en_GB packages/files and create…

ZFS Compression Vs Deduplication (dedup)

Been playing with ZFS dedupe for the last two weeks and just wanted to share my findings.  

Setup OpenSolaris build 131
Sun X4200, 2 x Dual Core Opteron 2.6Ghz, 8Gb Ram, 4 x 73Gb SAS 10Krpm

root@osol:~# zfs list
NAME                       USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
compress                    72K  66.9G    21K  /compress
dedupe                      72K  66.9G    21K  /dedupe

root@osol:~# zfs set compression=on compress
root@osol:~# zfs set dedup=on dedupe

Wanted to see how much real data would dedupe.

I loaded the my company  project/Software folders, 68,000 files (Visio/PDF/Project/Word/OpenOffice/Excel,ISO's... ) total of 38.9Gb

Load times, copying files from local UFS filesystem to ZFS dataset.

root@osol:/ufs# ptime tar cf - iso projects software | pv | ( cd /dedupe/ ; tar xf - )
