What are the fundamental differences between HAMMER and ZFS? I want to run DragonFly BSD and find HAMMER interesting, but I'm also interested in the caching capabilities of ZFS. Is one objectively better than the other, and if it's ZFS, can I get it workin

What are the fundamental differences between HAMMER and ZFS? I want to run DragonFly BSD and find HAMMER interesting, but I'm also interested in the caching capabilities of ZFS. Is one objectively better than the other, and if it's ZFS, can I get it working on DF-BSD?

The system will be used as a home server with a single 2TB drive and two Kabini cores.

HAMMER is great but ZFS is superior.

I've seen benches where HAMMER got hammered by ZFS in speed.

It's the native Filesystem for DragonFly BSD. In a lot of ways, it's very similar to ZFS but doesn't implement the caching scheme of ZFS and runs slower, although it does offer some superior features like instant crash recovery.

ZFS does its own RAID, HAMMER doesn't. You can set up softraid and put HAMMER on top of it, but ZFS is smarter about recovery.

Not OP, but my guess is

>Btrfs (B-tree file system, variously pronounced: "Butter F S", "Butterface",[7] "Better F S",[5] "B-tree F S",[8] or simply by spelling it out) is a GPL-licensed copy-on-write file system for Linux.
