papertigers Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Since one of the use cases is NAS I thought I'd raise the topic of support for illumos based systems. A lot of people have ZFS boxes that they would like to sync across. The only other feature complete implementation of ZFS is found on FreeBSD. Are these platforms going to be supported. Or possibly the source for this posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okona Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 +1 Since Illumos based distros very much lend them as file servers, i would also be very glad to have an Illumos version. Alternatively having the source would also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okona Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 What I would put on the wishlist is an Illumos (i.e. successor to the Open Source Solaris) Version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkymonk Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Another +1We recently replaced a load of Windows file servers using DFS-replication with SmartOS (illumos) servers. Unfortunately rsync doesn't suit us quite as well as DFS-R did and so we have been looking at Gluster. However, having tested and been impressed with the results of Bittorrent Sync on some Linux, Windows and OSX hosts, I'd really like to see how well it could work for us on these SmartOS servers. Seems like the perfect application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkymonk Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 An Illumos binary would be amazing.Please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papertigers Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 It shouldn't be that much different than the BSD port. BSD and illumos are pretty close platforms. More so than linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papertigers Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 What I would put on the wishlist is an Illumos (i.e. successor to the Open Source Solaris) Version.Ive been asking for this I am a huge sync user and I have a lot of illumos based servers. Shouldn't be much different then the freebsd version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papertigers Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Just wanted to bump this one last time. Wanted to see how likely a illumos build is before I consider other solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papertigers Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 What I would put on the wishlist is an Illumos (i.e. successor to the Open Source Solaris) Version. Just wanted to check in again. Still dying for illumos support. Building a client against libc would be nice. Any possibility that this will eventually come down the pipeline? Especially now that there is a freebsd build. Would love to leverage this on smartos and joyents cloud as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papertigers Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Any chance for an illumos build? I have some interesting things I would like to do with sync in a smartos environment. I am still holding on to hope for a native version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askurihin Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 +1 on this, looking forward to be able to run btsync on SmartOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrounce Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 +1 for this. I'm running Napp-it on OmniOS (on ESXi) for ZFS-based VMs, SMB, AFP/Time Machine, media server etc. Bittorrent Sync would complete the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joltman Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I joined the forum just for this post. I really want the btsync app to work in Illumos. Specifically, I use OmniOS for home use. I would love to have the ability to have btsync support my wife's userdir and my userdir. I want her to be able to save docs to a folder on her laptop where ever she is, and it gets synced back home. Please please please make a build for Illumos/OmniOS. I'll be requesting open source as well in the OSS thread. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joltman Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 What would it take to get btsync working on Illumos? Is it just a matter of users requesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 What would it take to get btsync working on Illumos? Is it just a matter of users requesting? Pretty much! There is obviously some interest in this, as is apparent from this thread, but at present isn't perhaps considered to be a "top priority" by the developers. So support for SmartOS / Illumos may eventually come, but as yet there have been no announcements/hints from the developers in this regard. My advice if you're interested in such support, and haven't yet contributed your voice to this thread, would be to do so, so that the developers can then gauge what level of interest there actually is in this regard.

Heini Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yep, +1 for Solaris (Sparc, X86) and derivatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papertigers Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 While not a native smartos build you can run btsync in an lx brand thanks to the lx brand work joyent is doing. http://www.slideshare.net/bcantrill/illumos-lx Slide 17 has the image uuid to import. I will post a blog post on it eventually, but I have btsync running a lx brand at home and it works just fine. Even has inotify support!

Nnyan Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Ok so just ran into this forum looking for a sync solution for all my devices that ran on OmniOS. It's been more than a year since the last post so I'm going to guess nothing much has happened in this area. Any idea if this has moved up some on the dev's radar?
