Here is my experience trying to run OpenBSD with XenServer 5 Enterprise.

• XenServer console doesn’t function properly as it keeps overlaying text displayed previously or anything you have typed into the console. Makes it very difficult to read and see what you are doing. As well it appears numerpad with numlock on does not work either. The best work around is to SSH into OpenBSD.
• Receiving the following error messages at boot up, “clock: unknown CMOS layout” and “rl0: watchdog timeout”. Yes the NIC is being detected as a Realteak 8139. If I check /var/run/dmesg.boot out of the two error messages I only see the “clock: unknown CMOS layout”. So I would assume the watchdog timeout message occurs after initial boot sequence.

I suspect that few of the readers of my blog have missed it, but MySQL 5.1 is GA. And I suspect it was no surprise to my readers, nor those of Giuseppe, the Community Team Lead. Nor those who read Sheeri’s blog, with the picture of Dups unmistakably setting GA date expectations at the OpenSQL Camp a number of weeks ago.

In addition to our communication, there has been some, ehmm, complementary communication on MySQL 5.1 …

Interesting things are afoot in the MySQL world. You see, it used to be that the MySQL world consisted of about 20-40 employees of MySQL AB (this funny distributed Swedish company that built and supported the open source MySQL database server), a tiny handful of MySQL mailing lists, and large databases were counted in gigabytes not terabytes. A Pentium III was still a decent server. Replication was a new feature!

Hey, anyone remember the Gemini storage engine? :-)

How times have changed...

Nowadays MySQL is sort of a universe onto itself. There are multiple storage engines (though MyISAM and InnoDB are still the popular ones), version 5.1 is out ( …

MySQL 5.1 didn't start on the right foot. The effort to produce its features was underestimated, mostly because, at the time when it was designed, the company was still unearthing the architectural bugs that were haunting MySQL 5.0.

MySQL 5.0 was GA in October 2005. One month later, MySQL 5.1 started its alpha stage, while a rain of bugs fell …

You know how to build MySQL Connector/C++ and write applications, because you have read my previous post MySQL Connector/C++: compiling, using and debugging. And, of course, its not working. therefore you try the debug trace. Are you capable of handling all the information in it? I am a lamer. The only Vi command I know is ":q".And I know nothing about sed and grep, therefore none of these can help me filtering the debug log. But I know a bit of PHP. I wrote myself a PHP script for filtering MySQL Connector/C++ debug traces when we started working on MySQL …
