This program can use the “buffer” utility to speed up tape and network I/O: (recommended, not required). The RPMs are compiled with changes to allow large file (>2GB) support.
Source RPM: buffer-1.19-5.src.rpm
Redhat 8/9 RPM: buffer-1.19-5.i386.rpm
People sometimes have trouble finding afio… (recommended for tapes; not required – you can use just about any archive program)
Source RPM: afio-2.4.7-134.src.rpm (taken from SuSe, but rebuildable w/ just about any rpm)
Redhat 8/9 RPM: afio-2.4.7-134.i386.rpm
Newer versions can alternately use the “mbuffer” utility instead of “buffer”. I would recommend staying with “buffer” unless you want to experiment.
