- techdragon 12y agoHAMMER has great potential... but its utterly devoid of the momentum required to be anything but a toy at this stage. I am a huge fan of where the developers want to take HAMMER, but I can't run it on any of my hardware to help so I'm just stuck waiting to see progress.
- _delirium 12y agoHAMMER is currently in the middle of a major rewrite to HAMMER2. That's supposed to support multi-master cluster usage, in addition to ZFS/btrfs-like features, so is quite ambitious. The new version is the main focus of full-time development, but not yet considered production-ready. I think the old version is stable-ish but was considered a dead-end by the main developer, so it doesn't have much deployment or development. I would consider the project research-stage at this point, though it's quite interesting research.
