Phoronix: HAMMER2 File-System Looks Like Its Getting Closer To Being Usable On DragonFlyBSD

Matthew Dillon began developing the HAMMER2 file-system in 2012 and back then he talked about it being until at least 2013 when it would be usable, etc. Five years later, it's looking like HAMMER2 is closer to being usable on DragonFlyBSD systems...

I wonder how HAMMER2 compares against ZFS and Btrfs.
Maybe HAMMER2 would be nice to have on Linux? Maybe it should be ported to Linux?

Typos:

writable snapshtos, and other improvements over DIllon's original HAMMER file-system.

HAMMER2 is now being compiled uncondintionally in DragonFly's

I don't think it compares in stability at all. Btrfs has much more testers than dragonflybsd users. And I doubt if all dragonfly users tests new filesystem.

Yes, 'cause it's all about stability. Of course. [/s]

Dude, stability is one thing but there's more to compare. So let's put stability aside and focus on all of the rest: how does it compare in terms of features, speed, etc.?

If you do not have stability in the first place, what's the point of features and speed. To put it into simpler form - When you cannot use something, because it is not stable - it's features and speed are not really mattering shit.
