Keep in mind two things: 1) As above, there is no compression on the network level 2) Only new files not already stored in the pool will be compressed on disk. To see if it is working, just see if there are any files being added to the cpool folder: du -sm $TopDir/cpool Regards, Adam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkr5M6sACgkQGyoxogrTyiWlCQCgkFnTb0kdxKTB6LovPFsIkmtY 2Z0AoMzWobVJBW592173MpwVjfHU8m1t =CV1D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
