Hi,
I'm trying to speed up rsync using the suggestion here. It uses a program called GNU parallel. It's not on FreeNAS but I figured I could probably install it. I found a FreeBSD port here. I tried to install it with the command;
The command came back with this;
I started a post on the FreeBSD forum about how to add access to whatever repository would have the parallel package but now I think this has something to do with the way FreeNAS handles things with jails. I understand that sometimes you need to virtualize things but I want the parallel command to be able to interact directly with rsync. Is there a way to install it without going through plugins or jails?
