This is really great to hear. Making a new filesystem from scratch is
hard enough already, and you've done it quite successfully on your
own, within the limitations of the current DragonFly kernel. I dearly
hope this gets even higher mindshare than DragonFly itself, because it
obviously has the potential to be highly useful on other systems as
well.

By the way, have you looked into POHMELFS? I don't know if it's really
the same kind of design as HAMMER, but it does solve some similar
problems and is also a pretty strong performer.
