AeroFS currently does not support ARM.
- riobard 13y agoNor PowerPC, which apparently many NAS units are using. Mine is a WD My Book Live Duo running Debian/PowerPC. Additionally, AeroFS relies on Java, which is pretty big dependency (read: pain) to have on resource-restricted environments like a tiny NAS box. The daemon process of AeroFS consumes about 110MB of memory (I guess due to JRE), but my NAS unit has only 256MB memory in total with less than 100MB free, which means even if AeroFS supports PowerPC, there is still no way I could run it smoothly on my NAS without killing its performance. Bittorrent Sync supports all of x86/x64/ARM/PowerPC, and the download is just a single 3.7MB binary without dependency other than glibc. Running it on my NAS shows it consumes less than 10MB memory. This is just so much nicer for deployment on a wider selection of devices. I'm definitely going for BTSync now.
