1GB Page Size?
Interesting BUG/REF: 6587615 - 1g pagesize support on AMD family 0x10 processors.
So now CPUs can handle 1GB page sizes. Not a big deal but still interesting.

Niagara-2 and Oracle
I guess I'm not the only one who asked himself (and Oracle) - what's the factor for Niagara-2 CPU? Is it 0.25 as for Niagara-1 (except 1.4GHz?!) or is it 0.75? First Oracle guy said it's 0.25... unfortunately they call back and said it is 0.75 actually.
That's bad...

Very interesting and informative paper on commodity file systems (ext2/3, raiserfs, jfs, xfs, ntfs) reliability (or rather lack of it). Of course we've already known the answer.
