I didn't expect miracles, but since WinRAR gave 13% compression on a representative data set with ZIP compression at the fastest setting, I was expecting to see a compression ratio > 1.05 at least, not == 1.00. Getting 5-10% more space on a drive never hurts. Could it be that I should specify compression algorithm? Documentation says it will use lzjb by default, so I did not set it explicitly. -- Joachim Hvorfor bruke fremmedord, når det finnes adekvate norske substitutter? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
