Sun’s ZFS now has built-in deduplication
Posted by admin in IT Blog, SUN Solaris on November 2nd, 2009
A few years ago, Deduplication was the industries biggest buzz word. Well that hype actually pan-out and is a vital way to save disk space. In a nutshell, Deduplication is the process of eliminating duplicate copies of data.
Now instead of having an appliance dedup the data, Sun’s Zettabyte File System (ZFS) will do it for you.
The New Snow Leopard Update Blocks Intel Atom
Do you have a hacked Mac netbook? Well the new Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.2 will not work on the Intel Atom processor.
According to Stellarola, with the current developer build of 10.6.2, Apple appears to have changed around a lot of CPU related information. He suggests that if you are a Hackintosh user with an Intel Atom based netbook, stick with 10.6.1.
Keep in mind that this is the current developer build. If we are lucky, Apple will fix or adjust any CPU changes and allow Atom Hackintosh users to continue. In my Minds-Eye, this is just another way for Big Apple to rake in more money by having OS X users pay big premiums for their product.
If the final release of 10.6.2 still breaks on the Atom Processor. I am sure the hackintosh community will band together and come up with a workaround, so stay tuned.
