ZFS in OS X
So it was just announced that ZFS won't be the default filesystem in Leopard. Talk about a bummer... but not shocking really. I feel bad for Jonathan, not because he was wrong, but because its really easy for misunderstandings to come from a single comment. Lets review: "In fact, this week you'll see that Apple is announcing at their Worldwide Developers ...
ZFS and iSCSI Integration: Two Great Powers Collide
OpenSolaris Build 54 is now in the wild. As of Build 53 we have an amazing powerful new feature that will ultimately become a staple of the data center: ZFS and iSCSI Integration. Its now drop dead simple to start dishing out iSCSI Targets to your network, in a way that only ZFS can provide. If you didn't already know, ZFS brings the functions of a ...
ZFS within a Zone: Using Datasets
Around B43 Solaris Zones were given a new configuration attribute: dataset. This allows us to provide ZFS within a zone itself. Before I continue, I think we should talk about ZFS terminology for a second. When I first started out with ZFS I found this idea of nested filesystems a bit odd. I remember watching the flash demo's created by Dan Price and ...
Streamlining Zone Creation Thanks to ZFS Integration
Zone's a wonderful and handy tools for developers and admins alike, but creating them can be a time consuming activity especially when you need to create more than one. Scripting can help but your not shortening the time, just automating the process. But around Nevada B43 ZFS and Zones were integrated, building on each others strengths. Now we can clone zones, ...
ZFS and Thin Provisioning

Being able to dish out, from a single pool, both filesystems and traditional volumes (which I'll call zvol's) makes for an extremely power storage foundation on which to build monumental structures without the traditional complexity that comes from ...

Containers, Now and Then
I'm excited to announce that Cuddletech is now 100% Docker Powered. This is particularly exciting for me because it comes after being hosted on containers for the previous 10 years of its life. To celebrate it seems like a good time to reflect on how containers have evolved over the last decade. For those not familiar with Cuddletech, since 1999 it has been ...
New Adventures: Leaving Joyent
After more than 8 years, yesterday was my last day at Joyent. I was asked by David Young & Jason Hoffman to join Joyent in 2006. At the time the idea of "utility computing" was being talked about but "grid" was really the domain of academic super computers for large batch computation. The industry solutions for off-prem computing at the time was either ...
