ZFS Raw Send

This got finally integrated into 11.3 SRU 11.3.33.5.0 zfs send compressed data (Bug 15387669)

Extracting ZFS Wrapping Key

Thanks to Victor Latushkin, below is a procedure on how to extract ZFS wrapping key for a given dataset. Notice that key length is encoded in number of bits so it needs to be converted.

# cat /tmp/p
aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbccccccccccz

# zfs create -o encryption=aes-256-ccm -o keysource="raw,file:///tmp/p" test-0/testp
# zfs get objsetid test-0/testp

test-0/testp  objsetid  192    -

Utilizing CTF in MDB from a binary

Having CTF compiled into binaries is very useful for debugging. Recently I wanted to print some structures by utilizing mdb and ctf from a binary which is not running and I didn't have a core file either. Helpful folks from Oracle suggested the below nice workaround:

# mdb /path/to/bin
> main:b
> ::run
> ::print -at rx_call
...

It sets a breakpoint at main(), then executes it but it stops when calling main(), at this stage CTF data is already loaded by linker.

Support for CTF in Userland in DTrace

I wish Solaris 11 supported CTF in DTrace in user-land in a similar manner as Illumos does.
