The only thing that 'excites' me in DragonflyBSD is their HammerFS - which works and its OK - but its not as usable and simple as manipulating ZFS with zfs(8) and zpool(8) commands ...

Besides that I do not see anything special on DragonflyBSD ... I have read that they have very sophisticated and fast SMP implementation ... but a lot things just are absent there - like on OpenBSD land. No virtualization for example ... while FreeBSD has *VirtualBox* and *Bhyve* and *Xen DOM0* ...

*WINE* probably does not work (or does not work well) as last WINE commits for DragonflyBSD are from almost a decade ago:

- https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=search&h=HEAD&st=c...

FreeBSD also has *VNET Jails* while DragonflyBSD only has 'classic' Jails.

FreeBSD comes with GEOM for storage which is just great - https://is.gd/bsdstg - more here. I myself also wrote *lsblk(8)* implementation for FreeBSD - this is also missing on DragonflyBSD.

Hope that helps.

I too was interested in HammerFS. Thanks for the perspective, I'll ask around here at some point about DragonFly users, they must be out there :).

I like HammerFS offline deduplication which is great for systems with low or 'normal' amount of RAM.

I would like to see that implemented in ZFS but I think it will not gonna happen :)
