Kind of odd that the blog states that "The architect for ZFS at Apple had left" and links to the LinkedIn profile of someone who doesn't have any Apple work experience listed on their resume. I assume the author linked to the wrong profile?

Ex-Apple File System engineer here who shared an office with the other ZFS lead at the time. Can confirm they link to the wrong profile for Don Brady.

This is the correct person: https://github.com/don-brady

Also can confirm Don is one of the kindest, nicest principal engineer level people I’ve worked with in my career. Always had time to mentor and assist.

Not sure how I fat-fingered Don's LinkedIn, but I'm updating that 9-year-old typo. Agreed that Don is a delight. In the years after this article I got to collaborate more with him, but left Delphix before he joined to work on ZFS.

Given your expertise, any chance you can comment on the risk of data corruption on APFS given that it only checksums metadata?

I moved out of the kernel in 2008 and never went back, so don’t have a wise opinion here which would be current.
