the compression is unnecessary here, you're moving a max of less than a couple of hundred GB of data.

- marshray 14y agoA few hundred GB here, a few hundred GB there, pretty soon you're talking real bandwidth.
- cookiecaper 14y agoIt's pretty necessary if you aren't moving between colocated boxes. "less than a couple hundred GB of data" is still a lot of data to be moving around, even on a 100Mb/s link, which almost no one in America has residentially, and isn't even a guarantee for colo'd machines. In most cases, compression at the raw block level will result in HUGE size savings, especially since a lot of that may be free space. It might even make this transfer tenable.
