NTFS requires that files be manually converted to the compressed format. They're uncompressed in parts as requested, but this is only kept in RAM. I'm not aware

NTFS requires that files be manually converted to the compressed format. They're uncompressed in parts as requested, but this is only kept in RAM. I'm not aware of any built-in background task that converts files to/from the compressed format.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoYou can set the "Compressed" flag of a folder and from then on everything in that folder will be compressed/decompressed transparently. I have most of my disk compressed that way and never have seen problems.
- Cojen 6y agoThat's cool, I hadn't thought of that. But does it identify "hot"/"cold" files that might benefit from being converted automatically to/from the compressed format? That would be a very nice feature to have.
