Klara ☛ Introducing OpenZFS Fast Dedup
Inline deduplication–the ability to store identical copies of the same file or block without actually taking up more storage space–is an exciting OpenZFS feature. Unfortunately, that feature has historically imposed such severe performance problems that experts advise against using it.
However, there’s a brand-new revision of OpenZFS dedup dubbed “fast dedup” which directly addresses those performance issues. Before we put it to the test, let’s talk briefly about how dedup works.

APNIC ☛ The rise of packet rate attacks: When core routers turn evil
Usually, most DDoS attacks rely on sending a lot of garbage data to saturate the bandwidth (network-layer attacks) or by sending a lot of application requests to cause excessive CPU or memory usage (application-layer attacks).

TuMFatig ☛ Static dual stack networking on OmniOS Solaris Zones
On my OmniOS zones, I don’t use DHCP. Mostly because I don’t have that many of those; DHCP would be overkill and another service to manage.

So I configured it from within the zone.

University of Toronto ☛ The general problem of losing network based locks
There are many situations and protocols where you want to hold some sort of lock across a network between, generically, a client (who 'owns' the lock) and a server (who manages the locks on behalf of clients and maintains the locking rules). Because a network is involved, one of the broad problems that can happen in such a protocol is that the client can have a lock abruptly taken away from it by the server. This can happen because the server was instructed to break the lock, or the server restarted in some way and notified the clients that they had lost some or all of their locks, or perhaps there was a network partition that led to a lock timeout.
