Of the many cool features of the ZFS filesystems, one of the coolest is taking snapshots of a live filesystem.

This provides a read-only point-in-time copy of the whole filesystem.

While this sounds slow and expensive in disk usage, ZFS makes snapshots efficient in time and space.

The Solaris 10 Failsafe feature can be easily back ported to Solaris 9 and below. This article shares how to do it.

Patch Clusters and Patch Bundles are popular collections of patches providing specific functionality. They contain an install script for ease of installation. Patch Clusters and Patch Bundles are provided for the Solaris OS; Solaris, shared component, and middleware patches for Java Enterprise System; and Solaris patches recommended for J2SE.

This blog describes how to use the L2ARC and/or the ZIL features of ZFS in the Solaris OS to leverage the solid-state drive (SSD) as a cache, separating the "hot-vs.-not" data and making the best use of low-latency SSDs and high-capacity disks.

Tips and tricks for many platforms including:

* Sun Solaris
* Digital/Compaq/HP Tru64 UNIX
* HP-UX
* IBM AIX
* Misc UNIX

This blog describes how to use ZFS snapshot and rollback features along with Sun VirtualBox for an easy and safe test drive of an application without worrying about losing track of exactly which changes were made in case you want to start over.
