  • Delete a snapshot and its ancestors, by unlinking it; and if the refcount then becomes zero, so the contents of the snapshot is returned, then decode the block returned and recursively delete every block it references.

    Snell-Pym » A stressful upgrade - and a design for a better backup system 2008

  • Having hired a programmer whose first/primary language was Java (but later learned and was supposedly proficient at C/C++), and having him introduce numerous memory/refcount leaks into the code, and having had to eventually let him go (and hearing of other anecdotes like this) taught me an important lesson: never hire a programmer whose first language was Java to do "real" programming.
