Upgrading openssh help
Hi all, I've been suffering from really slow rsync speeds when copying files from one NV+ to another. Speeds around 700k/sec compared to having a computer in between doing the copying via afp/nfs...

You're just not going to get 30 MB/sec on an NV+ with rsync. I get about 4 MB/sec on my rsync backup jobs (which uses the daemon method) - remote source is my Pro-6. So I think the results you are getting are normal.
Eirik in the original post says he got 7.5 MB/sec, but that was his only post (ever) so we can't follow up with him. But from the script, it appears that he built SSL, which isn't relevant if you don't use encryption. We don't know anything about his network setup, or how much memory was in his NAS. You could perhaps enable jumbo frames and see if you get any improvement.
Apart from that I have no suggestions.

You are using rsync over ssh? Or just rsync?

I'm not fully understanding your question; Doesn't rsync connect using SSH remotely?
What I'm doing is copying/moving data from one readynas (directly) to the other. For example
nas1:~# rsync -av --progress --remove-source-files myFolder nas2:/media/destination/
That gives me terrible speeds of about 700k/sec (NAS1 >> NAS2 or vice versa)
Instead, if I use a machine in the middle (my Mac, or PC), mount both, and copy from 1 to the other the speeds are normal and significantly higher (NAS1 > Mac > NAS2 or vice versa, mounted using afp/nfs/smb).
The other post identified the issue with an old version of openssl installed on the NV+
Does that answer your question?
