Subject: Re: [ILUG-Cochin.org] HAMMER2 going to beat btrfs and zfs
Hi,
I haven't tried it out in production.
I evaluated it when I wanted to migrate my backup server from OpenBSD's FFS to
some file system with history.
That was around early 2010.
At that time
1. Btrfs was not stable enough for a backup server
2. ZFS in FreeBSD was on a lower version than Solaris and Solaris was a
big no-no
More over ZFS features needed plenty of RAM.
Hammer1 was the right thing for me then because
1. It came as default file system with the OS
2. PFS snapshoting was the right choice for a backup server
3. nofsck was a good thing for big disks
4. Needed way much less RAM to run all Hammer features like snapshot,
prune, rebalance, reblock etc on file system.
( http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/2012/02/28/9296.html )
5. Mirroring file systems across systems on different physical
locations was possible and easy through ssh
There were few other reasons too you can read it here if you are interested.

Hammer1 lacked some features of ZFS but I could do without them at that time.
If hammer1 was not stable at that time then I would have gone for ZFS.
Hammer2 seems to be awesome but we will have to wait till it becomes stable and
feature complete. But OpenBSD and Dragonfly BSD projects are not slacking like
the linux ones so you can expect them to complete it in the time frame they
mention.

ZFS status on FreeBSD is very much improved now and it may be worthwhile trying
it out if you have plenty of RAM :-)
