An Unexpectedly Long Pause…
Sorry I haven't posted anything in almost a week and a half. I've got plenty to post but haven't had the time. Getting up to speed at Joyent is taking significantly longer than expected. The upshot is that, as a result, I'm making some significant organizational improvements in the process... thats my hope anyway. In the desire to quickly catch up... I'll ...
Jeff Bonwick: New Sun Microsystems CTO for Storage
Things are changing at Sun and the future is looking bright as Sun starts to put its engineering muscle behind storage, an area of the business that was more about partnerships and rebadging than engineering brainpower. That's changing though, largely because of ZFS and that only makes it more interesting to see what I ran across today... Jeff Bonwick, Sun ...
Cheap Ass Storage: How Low Can You Go
I've been thinking a lot about low end storage tonight. I mean ultra-low end. It comes to mind for 2 reasons. First, I'm really sick of the "whitebox linux mafia", as I call them, bashing me over the head for prefering enterprise storage solutions. These are the folks that say NetApp or Sun sucks because they can build a 20TB storage box for the price of a ham ...
ACL!… Bless You.
Access Control Lists, or ACL's, can also often abbreviated as PITA (if you don't know what that means, ask your local SA). I've largely ignored ACL's becaue they aren't used very often, around me anyway, and I just feel that they are often a big pain. Thankfully someone realizes my pain and things are getting much better thanks to NFSv4 ACL's and ZFS. So lets ...
LinuxWorld SF 06: Closing Report
And so yet another LinuxWorld has come and gone. This year, for the first time, OpenSolaris was an official .Org booth and I had the honor of running the booth for the community. All in all it was a very good show. Attendance was lower this year than in any year gone past, at least based on what I saw. The talk of the show was about what wasn't there: Red Hat. ...
LinuxWorld Quick Report
LinuxWorld SF 2006 is under way. I don't have time for a full report but thought I'd check in. The show is going pretty well so far. Two days down, one to go. In the booth I've got my home dev workstation on hand, and in an amazing stroke of luck my main man, ZFS co-inventor, Bill Moore, supplied me with a Thumper (X4500)! Additionally Alan DuBoff has been ...

Come with your questions, your expectations, and the problems you need to solve and we'll show you want we have to offer, not just the software, but the thriving community around it all. While your there don't forget ...
Sun’s Q2 Galaxy Rollout
I sort of dropped the ball on coverage of the recent Network Computing rollout. I spent the morning in ER after Tamarah smooshed her finger and her fingernail kept the wound from healing. It hurt like crazy and she didn't sleep all night but Tuesday morning we got her all fixed up and she was feeling better by that afternoon. I think we've all smashed our ...
Jonathan gives us an early look at Thumper
I think I'm in love. Thumper saves me from myself actually. I recently requested a quote on a Rackable storage box: Suprisingly, Rackable isn't as cheap as it would seem, and in fact Thumper may come in lower in cost than what Rackable can offer, with a lot more capability. As a storage guy, Jonathan is right on target with his latest blog ...
The Register Spoils the Tuesday Announcement: Sun Set to Super-Size
The Register has dumped what it can find about the Tuesday announcement: Sun to replace excuses with loads of Opteron gear. Here's the forecast: X4500: "Thumper", the one we've waited for. Take a X4200, super-size it to 4U and then add 48 SATA drives... mix in the super secret ingredient (Solaris 10 Update 2, namely ZFS) and presto chango! Estimates are ...
