Is HAMMER a distributed file system?[edit]

if so, why is there no mention of it in the article? I also did not find it in any of the references. Even so HAMMER is categorized as a distributed file system, why?Cainamarques (talk) 14:44, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is distributed. The article is outdated, and there is no sense in updating it since the major revision of the file system is about to be released. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:17, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A reasonable view at the time the comment was posted, but years have passed since. As Hammer-2 is in Alpha the basic architecture is known and can be described, the difference between single and multimaster can be explained, and the projected delivery dates, which are historically correct, but no longer current, can be updated it may be time for an update. --Ericfluger (talk) 16:09, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 12 August 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: MOVED. Consensus is that there is no primary topic. There was one suggestion for a different target than the one in the nomination, which can continue outside of this RM if needed. —Bagumba (talk) 09:46, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

HAMMER → HAMMER (file system) – There's not sufficient evidence that the phrase/acronym "HAMMER" primarily refers to the file system over HAMMER (spacecraft), H.A.M.M.E.R., or the target of HAMMER (weapon). For this reason, this page should be moved away from the ambiguous title, and HAMMER should be redirected to Hammer (disambiguation) per WP:DIFFCAPS.

  • Very strong Object. HAMMER has been around for over 10 years as a filesystem, including over 11 years as a wikipedia article (since June 2008). HAMMER (weapon) is merely a redirect, H.A.M.M.E.R. is a distinct spelling, and HAMMER (spacecraft) has only been around for just about a year, and is often referred to as «Hammer» or «'HAMMER'» (in quotes) in publications, making it seem like a rather temporary or not widely accepted name; the spacecraft doesn't even have a website, and every single reference on HAMMER (spacecraft) is from March 2018, suggesting WP:1E; renaming a long-established filesystem because of a conflict with a temporary name for a spacecraft that doesn't even have a website doesn't seem right. MureninC (talk) 04:07, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Is there a particular reason this HAMMER is written in all caps? If not, it should be lowercase. Calidum 20:51, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not too sure, but it's been accepted as the official name, in both primary and secondary sources. Why is H.A.M.M.E.R. spelt with dots? MureninC (talk) 05:21, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your inclusion of H.A.M.M.E.R. into the view count is completely not fair, because that's an entirely different name than HAMMER, never referred to as "HAMMER" (not once in the whole article), but always as "H.A.M.M.E.R.". If HAMMER was available, H.A.M.M.E.R. would never take it other than a redirect, so, it's absolutely not a contender for HAMMER as a primary. And once such non-contender is excluded, the filesystem has a significant lead for the number of views. MureninC (talk) 05:21, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I used "weak support" because that topic has a different name however some readers looking for it might use this term to. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:00, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support—I was close to closing this discussion as Do Not Move based on the unsubstantial support !votes and the well articulated oppose from MureninC, but I took a closer look at the examples provided by MureninC. In particular the notion that a title being a redirect eliminates it being a key topic in this particular case is flawed for HAMMER (weapon). According to the target article, the "In 2011, AASM was given the name HAMMER (Highly Agile Modular Munition Extended Range)," which suggests that a move request to rename that article might be in order. Therefore, I think there is a viable primary-topic conflict between the file system and the weapons system, exclusive of the other variants.--User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 03:12, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ceyockey, first of all, let's get each item in order, and not resort to strawman. If you think HAMMER (weapon) must be the primary for another article, not a redirect, that should be handled separately from this discussion. If you look at the official website listed under Armement Air-Sol Modulaire, the item is still called AASM, and references to "Hammer" are not done in uppercase, so, I fail to see how the target of the HAMMER (weapon) redirect could possibly be a contender for being renamed into the "HAMMER" namespace. Likewise, someone else brought up views, and the filesystem significantly prevails compared to the spacecraft or the weapon. MureninC (talk) 05:21, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Okay, I've been reading these comments from MureninC about how basically a redirect title is not notable for inclusion for determining a primary topic, and I'm now going to start responding to this. For one, it really does not seem as though they have read the target of the redirect WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, which essentially states that just because something is a redirect does not exclude it from being the most notable use of a phrase or term. (Some examples I can think of off the top of my head are Breadwinner and Grandfathered.) So in effect, if a subject is notable by an alternative name that does not match the name of the article, that alternative name has the potential to be perceived as a primary and/or co-primary topic for that term. Also, in regards to HAMMER (weapon); that redirect is a recent creation by me, so there is a potential that page views of that redirect do not match how notable the topic is by that term. And in regards to the attempted disregard of H.A.M.M.E.R. for its role in this discussion; in order to disregard H.A.M.M.E.R. in this discussion requires rather hard evidence that most readers looking for that term will always (or almost always) include the periods, and I see no evidence proving that in this discussion at all. And in regards to the calling of Ceyockey's comment a "strawman" ... I do not see it as that at all, but rather enforcing the idea that the target of HAMMER (weapon) should probably be moved over that redirect since that is potentially the subject's more notable title, fully making the subject of that redirect (well, technically the redirect) a good contender to knock the file system out of the "de facto" primary topic status by sitting at the ambiguous title of "HAMMER". If anything, at this point, I feel as though these comments were made to obscure the status of the phrase "HAMMER" and derail a potential closer ... since I sort of believe that just happened here. Steel1943 (talk) 06:05, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    You're ignoring so many rules here and putting so many unrelated things together, from WP:TOOSOON to WP:DIFFCAPS and WP:Hatnotes are cheap. H.A.M.M.E.R. and HAMMER are unrelated, and NOT a contender for the same namespace. As for HAMMER (weapon), I didn't see that you were the one who created the weapon redirect; I strongly suggest that the correct cause of action here is to first figure out whether AASF (the target) is even known as HAMMER in the first place (again, the official website continues to refer to it as AASF, and the alternative "Hammer" name is not even given in the upper capitalisation, making it a non-contender for the HAMMER namespace). As it is, I don't see any other article named "HAMMER" that is more popular and more consistent in using the "HAMMER" moniker than the filesystem. MureninC (talk) 22:13, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    ...But on the contrary, and once again, there's the "redirects can't be notable uses of a phrase" belief. My argument is that WP:DIFFCAPS doesn't apply to the "HAMMER" vs. "H.A.M.M.E.R." distinction since the periods are not distinct enough (in fact, WP:DIFFCAPS Also says that it doesn't apply to all situations after its wording was changed almost half a decade ago), and since the average reader probably isn't sure what they are trying to look up when searching the term "HAMMER", the current situation is a WP:SURPRISE to most and the dusambigistion oage needs to be moved to the base title so that readers can determine for themselves what topic they are looking for. Steel1943 (talk) 22:35, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, your edit at Special:Diff/911946588 is incorrect; please see MOS:DABREDIR — linking is done to the proper name of the article, not to the redirects; it's explicitly outlined at MOS:DABREDIR, with the example given being BNL not having a link to BNL (bank), as DAB pages shouldn't link to mere redirects.MureninC (talk) 22:43, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Please reread MOS:DABREDIR, specifically the portion explaining the [[Eon (geology)]] example. The policy supports the linking of the redirect with the same title or acronym as the disambiguation page, not the target with the disambiguation page naming or acronym mismatch. ("HAMMER" in "HAMMER (weapon)" is not an acronym for "Armement Air-Sol Modulaire".) Steel1943 (talk) 22:47, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at the disambiguation page again, this may be more appropriate since it's a title/acronym match. Steel1943 (talk) 23:14, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict) ...Also, note this edit by MureninC. The edit undid a change that I made after I realized during this discussion that I did not update the entry on Hammer (disambiguation) after I crafted the redirect HAMMER (weapon). Per MOS:DABREDIR (which I cited in linked in my edit), the redirect that is a title match of the disambiguation page's title should be displayed and linked, not the target article if it is not a title match. In their undo, they cited no basis for undoing the edit other than just repeating my edit summary when undoing it, looking as though they had no policy-based grounds for undoing the edit. Steel1943 (talk) 22:44, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, FWIW, this edit summary by MureninC could be considered a personal attack. Steel1943 (talk) 22:53, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Prefer Hammer (DragonFly BSD). HAMMER is just styling. It is not used consistently in the official website, and many sources don't capitalize. DragonFly BSD is the parent topic. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:35, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Can someone rewrite the first two sections?[edit]

The beginning section lists its features… and then it’s followed by a “Features” section that is incomprehensible by me (an experienced programmer). … Maybe we’ll better put the features as an actual list in the “Features” section, and de-obfuscate whatever’s currently in there before we merge it in wherever it belongs. — 2A0A:A546:A8E:1:C27C:C014:A0D8:FCC3 (talk) 15:09, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
