mbuffer isn't included in FreeNAS. It IS available for FreeBSD, but I don't know if that version will behave responsibly in FreeNAS. FreeNAS devs say "mbuffer won't be included in FreeNAS because we already do proper buffering via dd." Would dd work for buffering in Solaris/OI?? On 2015-05

you can also use ttcp or iperf just fine. I do that all the time and they are pretty much available anywhere. (ttcp is so simple it's just a single .c source file). The buffering isn't really the important part, using as close to raw tcp transport gets you the biggest benefit (vs encryption/decr

You could try to build it from source on your FreeNAS machine. If it builds, I guess it will work. Here is the project page: http://www.maier-komor.de/mbuffer.html BR Sebastian Am 05.05.2015 um 19:38 schrieb openindiana-discuss-requ...@openindiana.org: Message: 3 Date: Tue, 05 May 2015 15:30

If you transfer many snapshots, especially if some are small, there is a benefit from buffering: the receive end, after each snapshot, stops consuming data, possibly for several seconds. Without a buffer, this will stall the sending side, so that nothing gets done during those pauses. I have put
