   This is also the case with Ubuntu (the most popular Linux distro). The AMIs get updated regularly.

   Note: standard out-of-the-box SR-IOV allows VLAN tagging/stripping outside of the guest control, maybe they are simply using this in conjunction with a layer 3 switch to handle the VPC stuff?

   Thanks. I don't think it changes my point - various attempts were made to implement this feature since Freebsd 6 - almost 9 years ago, for some reason these were incomplete or ignored. FreeBSD 10 was released only this year. For refer

   There's nothing stopping a Linux distro doing this.... but It would be a step backwards: it is simpler, and does less stuff, so booting would be slower and some features are missing.

    The only thing that amazes me is that more workplaces don't do this (refresh the macbook of all staff with an updated high end model every time a new one is out).

    Great reply :) Your last two points are a little weak. Ultimately ZFS does more stuff, so on an SSD its going to be slower than a filesystem which doesn't have all these extra features if you aren't using them. I think there&#x2

    If Intel is buying market share by making superior products using fancy transistors, expensive fabs, and clever designs.... its not exactly bad for us consumers.

    A problem with cp (and rsync, tar, and linux in general) is there is read-ahead within single files, but no read-ahead for the next file in the directory. So it doesn't make full use of the available IOPS capacity.

    I used ZFSonLinux on my laptop and workstation for a couple of years now, with Ubuntu, without any major problems. When I tried to use it in production, I didn't get data loss but I hit problems: * Upgrading is a crapshoot: Twice, it

    Shouldn't we care about efficiency and end result, rather than die space?

    Have you seen those Seagate HDDs with built in ethernet? Might be better to just plug all the drives in to a switch and co-ordinate a cluster of them from a controller node

    22nm isn't their leading edge process any more, 14nm is. 22nm has been out for several years now. Intel can get good economies of scale by using their big 450mm wafers (other fabs use 300mm) The transistor count IS very high, but there

    WOW. That is a huge improvement. Most uses will never see any more than 5-15% more for Haswell.

    The Workstation Xeon parts are almost identical, and allow much more ram, and don't cost a whole more.

    There are x86 phones on the market that have similar weight/shape/battery life to ARM phones. Anandtech reviewed one two years ago and found it in the middle of the pack with respect to energy. The question for Intel is dialing d

    Worth noting that this was before Intel's hardware CRC32 acceleration became readily available in x86 processors, which makes iSCSI CRC faster than all the others (maybe not for short key lengths)

    Probably not: in the past, Pin has matched stripe's pricing so we'll see if they do it again.

    We're really talking about users adopting containers that have been there in BSD and linux for 10 years now. Is now a good time to explain why SysV shared memory syscalls were never wrapped and are thus shared across all jails in FreeB
