Solaris: metainit: No such file or directory

# metainit -f d200 -m d100 metainit: srmtl104: d200: No such file or directory The explanation is in kernel parameters: # grep nmd /kernel/drv/md.conf name="md" parent="pseudo" nmd=128 md_nsets=4; nmd limits pseudo-device names to 128. You may change this, wich implies a boot -r, or limit yourself to pseudo-device names within the range. # metainit -f d127 -m d100 d127: Mirror is setup #

Boston

Two weeks ago, we've been to Boston, MA. From Montreal, it's a very nice 5 hours/500 km trip. We've first cross the Vermount and the Appalachian mountains -- breath-taking at spring, gorgeous during fall --, the New-Hampshire, made a stop in Rockport, another stop in Salem (visit of the Witch Museum), and the arrived in Boston. Very pretty city, based on the typical architecture from New-England. We visited the Boston City Library, the Harvard Campus, the USS Constitution, shopped at Quincy Market, took a very nice guided pedestrian tour in the old Boston, and ended our trip by a 2-hours cruise on the Charles River. A very enjoyable trip, exception made for the hotel --the Hilton at Woburn-- which was rather dissatisfying.

My Grandma's 90th birthday

Ninety years ago today, my Grandma, the second of 6 children from Romanian parents, took her first breath in the little city of Mc Keesport, Pennsylvania, USA. Six years later, all the family moved back to Romania, and then to France in 1924. Married with Maurice, from Burgundy, she gave birth to my mother, her only child, 1 month after turning 22. In 1977, Maurice died at the early age of 60. Since then, she retired and shares her time between having good time, travelling and visiting her family. Long live Rosalie.
