Primes

• Compression

  • This sourceTier C (bibliography only). Originated as an internal whitepaper / blog manifesto with no stable DOI or publisher page; left link-less rather than attach a personal-blog URL. NOTE: the canonical USENIX-style citation is often given as Bonwick & Moore; the title 'The Zettabyte File System' is the original paper, 'The Last Word in Filesystems' the talk/blog.

• 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.

• Entropy (Thermodynamic Sense)

  • This sourceDescribes the ZFS pooled-storage, copy-on-write file system. Bibliography-only; not cited in the body and unrelated to entropy — likely a residual template entry. [No DOI; cited as 'ZFS: The Last Word in Filesystems' in the prime — the original Sun whitepaper title is 'The Zettabyte File System'.]
