HAMMER is a high-availability 64-bit file system developed by Matthew Dillon for DragonFly BSD using B+ trees. Its major features include infinite NFS-exportable snapshots, master–multislave operation, configurable history retention, fsckless-mount, and checksums to deal with data corruption.[5] HAMMER also supports data block deduplication, meaning that identical data blocks will be stored only once on a file system.[6] A successor, HAMMER2, was announced in 2011 and became the default in Dragonfly 5.2 (April 2018).[7]
