DragonFly's HAMMER2 File-System Picks Up More Performance Optimizations

HAMMER is a good name. It sounds like it is simple and functional in the best ways.
I'm pretty sure that porting to Linux would cause some performance differences just because of how the filesystem is integrated into the operating system as a whole.

Maybe it would be nice if HAMMER2 was available for Linux.
But maybe it would be difficult to port it from DragonFly BSD to Linux.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by TheBlackCat View PostI know this is shallow, but I really think "hammer" is a bad name for a filesystem. Is taking a hammer to your hard drive really the sort of image you want your filesystem to evoke?
Also, thinking of hard drives is pretty backwards, considering how good solid storage has become. At this point, prices are pretty much on par, and the only thing where spinning rust excels is long-term storage, where tape might make more sense anyway.

I do think the name is odd, though.
I guess at least its not some acronym from a gaggle of words: ntfs, hfs, ufs, zfs,xfs,rms,hpfs,udfs blah blah blah.
I've never used this file system, so i'd be keen to see how it compares to zfs or more likely ufs.

Phoronix: DragonFly's HAMMER2 File-System Picks Up More Performance Optimizations
DragonFlyBSD lead developer Matthew Dillon who also created the HAMMER family of file-systems remains quite busy on filling out the remaining features for HAMMER2 and tuning its performance...
