It's been a long time since HAMMER came about.

Has it been deemed reliable for general-purpose consumption yet?

  • That depends. What is it you're referring to? – Michael Hampton Sep 29 '15 at 07:56
  • @MichaelHampton, is it comparable to zfs in feature set and reliability? E.g., if I'm not scared of DragonFly BSD itself, would DragonFly be a good choice if I want something like zfs? – cnst Sep 29 '15 at 07:58

    Does that mean that HAMMER is a filesystem? You ought to have noticed that we have apparently never had a question about either it or DragonFly BSD. Thus it's probably not reasonable to assume that most people here know what they are...or anyone. – Michael Hampton Sep 29 '15 at 08:12
  • @MichaelHampton I know of DFBSD and HAMMER (and deem it quite interesting piece of technology) and would probably assume others have at least heard as well ... Unfortunatelly never run it in production myself, so I'm sorry OP, can't help. – Fox Sep 29 '15 at 09:24
  • @Fox And I've heard of DragonFly BSD, but I had no idea that it was still an active project, let alone that anyone was using it for anything. – Michael Hampton Sep 29 '15 at 09:25

  • @MichaelHampton, [BSD is Dying](http://www.google.com/search?q=bsd+is+dying), huh? – cnst Sep 29 '15 at 09:42
  • Possibly confusable with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-assisted_magnetic_recording . BSD may not be dead yet but most folk use one of the big 3. Dragonfly is still a bit uncommon, and probably somewhat obscure. – Journeyman Geek Sep 29 '15 at 09:45
  • When I say HAMMER, I mean, well, HAMMER. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAMMER – cnst Sep 30 '15 at 07:25

I think MC Hammer is more financially stable now...

But if you're referring to HAMMER the filesystem, um... nobody uses it or speaks of it... So low mindshare probably means it's not really gaining traction anywhere that counts.

Stick with ZFS for your next-generation filesystem needs.

  • But that's the thing — I wasn't referring to *MC Hammer*, I was referring to *HAMMER*. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAMMER. – cnst Sep 30 '15 at 07:30
