Comparing HAMMER And Tux3
,----[ Quote ]
| "The big advantage Hammer has over Tux3 is, it is up and running and released
| in the Dragonfly distro," began Daniel Phillips, offering a comparison
| between the two filesystem. He continued, "the biggest disadvantage is, it
| runs on BSD, not Linux, and it so heavily implements functionality that is
| provided by the VFS and block layer in Linux that a port would be far from
| trivial. It will likely happen eventually, but probably in about the same
| timeframe that we can get Tux3 up and stable." This led into a lengthy and
| interesting technical discussion between Daniel and HAMMER author Matthew
| Dillon, comparing the design of the two filesystems.

Tux3 Versioning Filesystem
,----[ Quote ]
| In his announcement email, Daniel noted that implementation work is
| underway, "much of the work consists of cutting and pasting bits of code I
| have developed over the years, for example, bits of HTree and ddsnap. The
| immediate goal is to produce a working prototype that cuts a lot of corners,
| for example block pointers instead of extents, allocation bitmap instead of
| free extent tree, linear search instead of indexed, and no atomic commit at
| all. Just enough to prove out the versioning algorithms and develop new user
| interfaces for version control."

Linux kernel developers have tripled in number
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Foundation (LF) has published a study on Linux mainline kernel
| development. According to LF, the number of Linux kernel developers has
| tripled since 2005, with many more companies contributing to the process
| (including, potentially, the latest new LF member, Adobe).
