Re: Domino 8 compression

Ok, I went into the properties and turned on the compression for LZ1,
database design and document data.
Earlier I had added
Create_R8_Databases=1
to the notes.ini

load compact -c archive/a_rguebard.nsf

05/14/2009 08:47:31 Informational, database design compression is
enabled in database archive/a_rguebard.nsf.
05/14/2009 08:47:31 Informational, document data compression is enabled
in database archive/a_rguebard.nsf.
05/14/2009 08:47:31 Informational, LZ1 is enabled in database
archive/a_rguebard.nsf.

Nice, but not nearly as impressive as the following:

load compact -ZU -n -v -C archive/a_rguebard.nsf

05/14/2009 09:01:19 Informational, compression of design documents is
already enabled in database archive/a_rguebard.nsf.

And that poor soul is still running Notes 6.5 and had no problem opening
his archive and getting into his attachments.

And thanks for the heads up on
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21330360
but that doesn't seem to be an issue on a real OS. (At least not so far.)

I'm about to run this against 1,634 databases totalling 1.1TB.
