HAMMER is a cool filesystem and it’d be good to have it available on multiple platforms. Even if you prefer one OS or another, it’s possible to end up in a situation where being able to do HAMMER-based replication to a different OS would be useful.

The closest existing Linux project to HAMMER would seem to be Nilfs (http://www.nilfs.org/) which seems to be approaching a mainline merge. It’s a log structured filesystem with historical snapshots, userspace cleaner daemon, etc etc. Tux3 and Btrfs have some features in common too but I think they are less technically close.

Incidentally, I’m wondering what became of doing streaming backups (and / or filesystem state rewinds) using the high level journaling protocol. Is this done, is it on the back burner, or … ?
