It seems that you might have edited your penultimate sentence, but just to make sure that the record is unequivocally clear on this: NetApp and Sun didn't simply "sue each other", NetApp initiated patent litigation against Sun in East Texas, and Sun countersued as a defensive maneuver.[1]
As for your ZFS question, Bonwick's blog is certainly a good source -- though if one is looking for a thorough treatment, I might recommend "Reliability Analysis of ZFS" by Asim Kadav and Abhishek Rajimwale.[2]

- codemac 10y agoI did not edit that part IIRC, I try not to edit anything substantially that I post online. As far as NetApp v. Sun, it was very unfortunate. I could rant for days about how crappy the business reasons were for NetApp going after Sun (zomg coraid!). I use your quote about Oracle being a lawn mower from your usenix presentation all the time. Thank you for your reply.
