ZFS Backup & Recovery using Hadoop HDFS
Hadoop HDFS has essentially become the de facto standard in cluster file systems. I'm theory I'm a big fan of Lustre; I say "theory" because it never got ported to Solaris, despite the fact that Sun bought Lustre. But thats a different story. HDFS is extremely portable and well supported by a thriving community who are doing anything you can image with it. ...
First Look at ZFS Deduplication
ZFS Deduplication was recently putback (Sun terminology for "commit") to ON (Solaris's primary codebase). That means it should go out at snv_128 (Build 128) due later this week.

Understanding ZFS: Prefetch
One of the great mysteries of ZFS is prefetch. Failing to understand these, how they work, and what they intend to do for you, can cause a lot of confusion, so here we'll dig our fingers into the subject. The first thing to understand is that "ZFS Prefetch" may refer to file-level prefetch and/or the virtual device read-ahead cache; we'll discuss both here. ...
