It turns out that the installer was telling me that my USB stick was going bad.The error message in retrospect, was discriptive enough. When I did a file system check on the stick a lot of errors occurred, media errors. The stick locked itself read only.I'm now working on the fix. 256GB SSD Of mine of which I've made a backup. Ventoy has just been installed on the SSD. When I have restored the data on the partitions, I will copy the ISO files which were on the USB stick on this SSD.

PLA_906114It turns out that the boot USB stick where I use an iso loader, is not appreciated by the illumos boot sequence.At the moment I have no other USB stick that I can temporary allocate to boot the illumos iso from.For now the adventure is regretfully paused. Quite annoying since I've taken the time to make a slow and lengthy backup of media, where I moved a BSD installation to in order to free a 2.5" drive<a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumosCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumosCafe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/ISO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ISO</a>

PLA_906114The copy process, the backup process, of the storage device which I shall use to back up a another OS to, will free up the device to install illumos on, has just passed it's twenty and a half hour mark.

PLA_906114I'm running a very slow task which has the goal of freeing up space on my external storage devices. This task is slow because the device needs to be reformatted after the backup has been made. The problem with the device, is that the speed which is normally at 80MBytes / second has dropped all the way down to 1.80MBytes / second The device is healthy the partition just went haywire because of the host that was writing on it. I'm using my SBC for the task so that I have the other machine for other important work.The free space is important because I need to install illumos, in order to play with the distribution that I've chosen. When this microSD card is free I will be parking an installation which is on a SSDThat SSD will be used for illumos The backup task will take about 16.5 hours given the transfer speed, which is now at 2.5MB/sPreparing for illumos part I <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumosCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumosCafe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/Solaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Solaris</a>

Stefano MarinelliI think it's time to write an <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a> for this account as well!I'm Stefano Marinelli, Barista of the illumos Cafe and the BSD Cafe. I'm a technology and open source enthusiast, a strong advocate for <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OwnYourData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OwnYourData</a>, and against computer monoculture, even when it comes to open source solutions. I've been active in the <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> for years and am a firm believer in it. I decided to found this Cafe to bring the positive spirit of the BSD Cafe to curious and passionate users of <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> based operating systems (<a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/Tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tribblix</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a>, etc.).I'll mainly use this account for content related to this instance and illumos-based operating systems, while my account at the BSD Cafe - <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@stefano@bsd.cafe</a> - remains my primary one.For more information about the illumos Cafe, you can read the introductory post here: <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/</a><a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumosCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumosCafe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/BSDCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafe</a>

Stefano MarinelliI've never hidden my admiration for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a>-based systems. I have a few setups based on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a>, and they're solid as a rock. I like them both: OmniOS is more "malleable", while SmartOS is more of a hypervisor like <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xcp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xcp</a>-ng or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xen</a> - meaning you install it on the host and delegate everything else to the zones.I also love <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> jails, but zones sometimes cover use cases that jails can't (and vice versa). For example, imposing RAM limits in jails works, but it effectively "denies more ram" to a process when it requests more memory. The end user doesn't see this directly. On illumos, the user sees everything. I have some `lx` zones with Debian and Virtualmin, and users have never noticed that they aren't really on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>. A free or top will show only the assigned RAM.And that's one of the biggest problems with open-source operating systems: they all have something good, and I always feel the urge to use them all! 🙂<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IT</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a>

Stefano MarinelliAs a Barista at BSD Cafe, I'm also an admirer of tea – a metaphor for my appreciation of the good features of other operating systems. And the fact that I like and support BSDs doesn't mean I don't appreciate those other solutions. For example, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a>, and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tribblix</a> are superb examples of well-crafted operating systems. Similarly, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> - <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openSUSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openSUSE</a> Tumbleweed-based desktops give me a lot of satisfaction every day.The foundation of my passion for Open Source also stems from the ability to study, explore, and choose without constraints or restrictions. It's that sense of freedom that drives me to appreciate the good in every solution.If and when I feel caged or forced, all of that vanishes.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Freedom</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IT</a>

Let's get back to OmniOS example:The hive page opens with "The Open Source Enterprise Server OS with just the features you need"Knowing nothing before, i don't know significantly more now<ul><li>the OS (operating system) part was clear,</li><li>"Enterprise Server" are buzzwords unhelpful for further search</li><li>just the features I need?!? For now i just "need" to figure out what it is!!!</li></ul>This just leaves the information that it is Open Source, niceOk, let's check the "About" page.There i learn that OmniOS was initially developed by OmniTI, the exact date when the announced the end, the existence of the OmniOS Community Edition Association (OmniOSce)But still no real idea what it isFunny enough a link leading to a The Register article (i accidentally clicked) shows how it can be done better"OmniOS – an Oracle-free open-source variant of Solaris"Now I know what it is, or or if i wouldn't, I could at least could search for Solaris to learn more.While this rant was inspired by and used OmniOS as a (negative) example it's not limited to OmniOS and doesn't say anything about it's qualities.
