We are currently running SuSe 9.0 on an IBM iSeries. We are using Linux for our file and print sharing. Been doing this for approximately 10 months. Previously, we were using Novells Netware on a Compaq for this. My problem is disk space? In Netware when files went unused for CERTAIN periods of time, Netware compressed these files down. What HAPPENED to us was, I thought I was migrating 25 gigabytes of file data from Netware into my Linux Server. But, after the migration took place the data size almost doubled. Now I have almost 40 gigabytes of data on Linux. At first we didn't realize Netware by default, compressed unused files. Once we learned this, I've been in search of something comperable in Linux. The word I've heard is there is somehting, but no one can tell me what it is. And just for the record, I'm not looking for a utility that is going to require an uncompression process to take place first before the file can be VIEWED. Netware did all this automatically. The user is oblivous to this process. In Netware the only thing the user might have experience when opening a file that had gone unused for an extended period of time, would have been a few more seconds in the opening process. Any ideas would be appreciated?http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13587.htmlThe link for Novells cool solutions looks like a GREAT solution for Netware. I need it for LINUX. Maybe I'm wrong, is there some way I can apply .nlm 's to LINUX?http://www.linux.org/apps/index.html you may find something! or even this .....http://noclone.net/Awards.asp
