Joyent posted an update -- they've released a branch of illumos, on github, containing much of their illumos contributions.
Some of the stuff is probably fairly Joyent specific, but some of it is highly useful to almost everyone using illumos!
From their mail: ZFS I/O fair-share scheduling for zonesthe Joyent brand, which can be used as a template for other non-SysVR4 or IPS zone brandsReintroduction of sparse zone imagesCrossbow vnics on demand for zones & non-unique vnic naming (unique per zone, not per system)svcs enhancements ( svcs -Z/-z for interrogating zone services, -L for outputting log files directly (no more ls /var/svc/log | grep... ))vfsstat and iostat tweaks and ziostat, iostat(1M) for ZFS I/Omore per-zone IO kstatsthe zonemon utility for zone kernel state troubleshootingDTrace enhancements such as llquantizeI just want to say again, thank you very much Joyent! Now, how quickly can we merge this stuff into illumos mainline?
