Yay! Lt. dpreview.com (auf der Canon Homepage ist das "Press Release" leider nicht klickbar) soll am 2. Juni ein neues Firmware Update fuer die Canon EOS 5D Mk II veroeffentlicht werden. Das Firmware Update bringt ein langersehntes Feature... mit der neuen Version soll man im Video Modus endlich saemtliche Faktoren manuell kontrollieren koennen. D. h. man hat die volle Kontrolle ueber ISO, Belichtungszeit und Blende.

Viele Kunden haben oeffentlich an Canon appelliert, dieses Feature einzubauen und Canon hat auf seine Kunden gehoert- was ich sehr gut finde. Anfangs hiess es ja, dass Canon diese Features absichtlich nicht eingebaut hat, damit sie keine Verluste bei Ihren "nur" Video-Produkten haben. Doch das Press Release zeigt, dass Canon ihre Kunden doch wichtig sind. Ich freu mich auf jeden Fall sehr und kanns garnicht abwarten, am naechsten Dienstag das Update zu installieren

Just upgraded my Blog (featured by the best blogging software on the planet) from v1.2.1 to the fresh released v1.3. This is basically a security release, but also some new features have been added. As usual the upgrade was done within less than 3 minutes (incl. download and extracting). S9Y rocks!

Today the memory upgrade for my MB arrived Now I have 4GiB of RAM in it and it's really a big difference in terms of speed. I really begin to love this little piece of hardware \o/

As I am still running a very old version of Solaris 10 on one of my boxes, I wanted to verify if an upgrade to one of the current builds works w/o issues. So I downloaded Solaris Nevada build 64 and burned on DVD.

As expected the installer directly noticed that there is already Solaris installed on my disk, so it asked if I wanna upgrade. I selected "Upgrade" and the installer started working. It took about 2.5 hours, but no problem occured. The system rebooted and finally snv b64 started booting. I was very surprised that even the RAID-1 on the two root disks was still intact and that the system bootet from it - awesome

After logging in, I noticed that the zpool (where my home directory lifes) was broken. All drives were unavailable and so I wasn't able to take it online again - probably as the ZFS pool was legacy version 3 and the current version of b64 is v6. Anyhow, as ZFS is pretty smart it was very easy to recover it...



I booted into single user mode (-m milestone=single) and removed the ZFS cache file (/etc/zfs/zfs.cache). Then I continued the boot sequence by running svcadm milestone all, to get into the multi-user milestone. A 'zpool status' confirmed that there was no zpool available anymore. Now I simply executed 'zpool import pool1' and my pool was online and healthy again - followed by 'zpool upgrade pool1' my pool was upgraded to v6 and that's it!



Love it! Now i'm safe to upgrade my old system, as my test-system upgrade worked better than expected

Thanks to the note from FF, I just noticed that S9Y 1.1 has been released. So I quickly run the upgrade- as usual w/o any problem (just a quick adjustment of my navigation bar). I curious to test the new features.
