Abstract: In some examples, a data node may provide a file system executed in a user space. The data node may invoke a device check process configured to perform a test for failure of a storage device associated with a target volume by sending a file system level request for obtaining metadata of data stored to the target volume. For instance, the target volume may be a virtual storage volume that represents storage capacity on a network storage. The user-space file system may receive the request for the metadata and may retrieve preconfigured metadata of the target volume that is stored locally in advance of the invoking of the device check process. The preconfigured metadata may be sent to the device check process in response to the request. For example, the preconfigured metadata may at least partially cause the target volume to pass the test.

Abstract: A packet-filtering system described herein may be configured to filter packets with encrypted hostnames in accordance with one or packet-filtering rules. The packet-filtering system may resolve a plaintext hostname from ciphertext comprising an encrypted Server Name Indication (eSNI) value. The packet-filtering system may resolve the plaintext hostname using a plurality of techniques. Once the plaintext hostname is resolved, the packet-filtering system may then use the plaintext hostname to determine whether the packets are associated with one or more threat indicators. If the packet-filtering system determines that the packets are associated with one or more threat indicators, the packet-filtering system may apply a packet filtering operation associated with the packet-filtering rules to the packets.

Abstract: File annotation is described. An example method includes: processing files to be annotated by using an annotation model to determine a first performance of the annotation model, the first performance being associated with the confidence of a model annotation result generated by the annotation model; if the first performance is lower than a predetermined threshold, determining a group of target files from the files based at least on the confidence of the model annotation result; acquiring truth-value annotation information of the group of target files for retraining the annotation model; and if a second performance of the retrained annotation model is higher than or equal to the predetermined threshold, determining annotation information for at least some of the files by using the retrained annotation model. Based on this approach, automatic annotation of files can be realized with less truth-value annotation information, thereby reducing annotation costs.
