DragonFlyBSD 2.4 released
- JeremyChase 17y agoHave any of you tried it? I haven't played around with it, but it is supposed to be pretty good.
- there 17y agoi'm anxious to see hammer stabilize and get ported to other operating systems.
- artificer 17y agoI've given a quick shot to the previous release. Hammer seems stable, after some days of moderate use. It has nice features too, but it requires a "pruner/reblocker" cron job once in a while that might impact performance on a busy machine. I'm more curious as to how the latest release scales to multiple processors, given the additional MPSAFE advances they made.
- gaius 17y agoCan't get it to run in VirtualBox on an MBP.
- buugs 17y agoI think qemu works better for bsds you might try that
- idm 17y agoThe goals of Dragonfly have been so interesting, but I hope this isn't another HURD situation (where HURD is also a really awesome project that progresses in babysteps).
- petrj 17y agoHAMMER is really good. ive been using it for about a year now and never got any corruption. the reblocker/pruner was initially an IO hog for about 5 minutes at 3am, but that has been fixed. Its totally smooth now. We use Solaris + ZFS + time slider on a storage server at work, and quite frankly, HAMMER has, even at its infancy worked better for me. HAMMER can now extend the file system on the fly, and I expect a file system shrink feature to be ready by the next release. From reading the mailing list it shouldnt be very difficult thing to do, thanks to the reblocker.
