Primes

• Compression
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
• Data Integrity
  • The verification protocol (periodic scrub, quorum read, canonical snapshot, audit trail reconciliation)

    This sourceSun Microsystems whitepaper. Describes ZFS's end-to-end integrity: per-block checksums stored in parent block pointers (a Merkle tree rooted at the über-block), verified on read, scrubbed periodically, repaired from redundancy.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
