Having set up ZFS on my server's partitions now, I wanted to get an automated backup going. There's a few posts on automatic ZFS snapshots kicking around (see ZFS Automatic Snapshots in Nevada 100 and Jeff's snapshot script) but the former was heavily tied into Solaris' management system, whilst the latter just created thousands of snapshots nearly indistinguishable from another. So, without further fanfare, here is AlBlue's crontab generated ZFS snapshots (with apologies in advance ...

An anonymous reader writes "Do you contribute to open source projects under your real name or a nickname? The openness of open source can be encouraging, but software patents you have never heard of can become a nightmare if a patent troll sues for implementing 'their' scroll bar. A real name also means you end up in the big index we call search engines. An assumed name could be an additional layer of protection, but ...

Timesculpture commercial by Toshiba was shot using 200 Toshiba Gigashot camcorders and is presented as an evolution to the famous "Bullet Time" introduced by the Matrix. "Rather than showing a 3-D rotation of a still moment, this groundbreaking new filming process manipulates moving snapshots of time using Toshiba technology, redefining cinematic human movement". No CGI imagery was used on the commercial. Head over YouTube and watch The Making of Video

Today I attended kick-ass ZFS talk (3 hours of incredibly detailed material presented by someone who knows the stuff and knows how to talk) at CEC (Sun internal training event/conference), so now I know way more about ZFS than I used to. Probably I know way more about ZFS than Average Joe DBA \o/ And now I think ZFS has lots of brilliant design and implementation bits, except it doesn’t match database access pattern needs. ...

Adam Leventhal brings it to a concise point where the new Sun Storage 7000 systems are really different from other systems besides of this cool administration interface: Further, you can design the specific system you need with just the right balance of write IOPS, read IOPS, throughput, capacity, power-use, and cost. Once you have a system, the Hybrid Storage Pool lets you solve problems with targeted solutions. Need capacity? Add disk. Out of read IOPS? ...

Today Sun is announcing a new line of storage appliances. I haven’t been involved with this product at all, but I do have a personal angle on them. Shortly after I joined Sun this year, I took a trip to California to meet various people in person. Amongst the people that I met up with were Bryan Cantrill, Mike Shapiro, and Adam Leventhal, the inventors of DTrace. I was a graduate student at Brown when ...
